We could make the same argument about this lazy post.

I am all for self improvement, but sometimes it's also good to just practice some acceptance. It's okay to not be the best. The older you get the more you will get outshined regardless of how hard you work. Who cares if your mediocre as long as your making money and you have a decent life.
Let us know when you have 2020 vision again.
I worked on a hay farm for several years before going back to school and majoring in psychology and then abandoning that and becoming a software engineer. Never found my passion. I don't give it a shit about any of the work I do. But anything is better than working on a hay farm.
I worked on a hay farm for a few years, and I constantly had injuries to my back muscles. Other employees had constant knee pain and neck pain. Nobody that worked there looked healthy. I was always tired and hated going to work. I feel way healthier working in tech.
Your argument sounds good on the surface. But this is true of any two professionals. If you find any two scientists, engineers, doctors and ask them for professional opinions separately you will likely get different answers. They may come to hold the same opinion after collaborating.
And I suppose the cave babies used potties too.
My sample size is low, but I did cry it out with my son at 4 months old and he has slept amazing ever since. He is 16 months old now and he gets excited when I put him in his crib to sleep. He will often go to the crib unprompted around 7:30pm (his normal bedtime), as he is ready to sleep. I've had sleeping problems my whole life, so seeing him sleep so well is very satisfying to me. I will be doing the same with my second child.
