Default Re: Why I Left RD Forums
I think you have a very interesting point there, Russ. In my former line of business, I ran into a huge percentage, an overwhelming number of people, on the business and customer side, who believed the staid, old-school thinking was right, no matter what, and they even carried it as a badge of pride. "They don't build 'em like they used to..." "That'll never work....", etc.

That kind of thinking is prevalent among people who are either poor, think poor, uneducated, scared, etc., etc., financially. And that's the majority of people in this country. Only when someone has the courage to shift their viewpoint and, even if they don't accept/believe/support new things, but at least consider them, do they change. And I don't care if it's how we build houses/cars/goods or new technologies or new social mores.

And to have RK say it is probably the biggest thing I've ever seen that shows a real flaw in his teachings. Not "well, we've thought about it, but it isn't right for us at this time..." or "we believe this is the best path for the moment" says a lot more than outright rejection.

Very interesting, indeed.
