I believe that the common sense notion "if it isn't broken don't fix it" is the most foolish thing I've ever heard.

This is not Wisdom, it's Arrogant foolishness.

To put my response in a Slogan just because something WORKS doesn't mean it's the BEST or IDEAL way to do things.

An internal combustion engine car will get me where I want to go- sure, it works.

But burning the fuel source is warming the planet and if we don't transition to a cleaner transportation grid our species time on this earth will not be long.

Just because Something WORKS doesn't mean we should use it.

Hmmmmm. Ok, so I'll sit on the fence with this one as I do use it a bit....

In terms of science and understanding? Sure, we strive forward...we learn new stuff.....we re-learn old stuff....we weigh up the [i]for's[/i] and [i]against's[/i].....and create what we need to create for that moment in time. Be they inoculations, space rockets or vacuum cleaners.....

However, there is that thing - that special something - that just happens and if you try to dissect it, and work out the inner motions, then you just spoil the magic of it.

Athletes might have an unorthodox way of doing things but it works for them...same with musicians.....

learning to do things the 'correct' or the 'efficient' way might just not be as correct for them. In that respect learning [i]more[/i] can effectively make them [i]less[/i].

Does that make sense?

No proverb is really literal. They include proverbs on the old fashioned IQ test, the one all professionals still swear by.

LOL!!

It's something I say when something that once was perfect (or as near to perfect as humanly possible) is unnecessarily replaced by something not nearly as aesthetically pleasing. Why do they do that?

@BetweenKittensandRiots And I don't give a fuck about people who don't give a fuck about aesthetics. Stay away from all Pisces people with that attitude.
@NankerPhelge Pisces is anything but shallow. Aesthetics however are shallow

@BetweenKittensandRiots No, they are not. Pisces wants the whole world to look as perfect as possible. That's deeper than the ocean.
