"Laziness" is just people's word for you not wanting to invest energy and effort into something that they think is worthwhile (or you claim to think is worthwhile) and that you actually, deep down, do not think is worthwhile

And people should listen to that inner voice more than they do honestly He talks about teaching resilience and dedication like these are inherently virtues Like "Why won't you just stop and ask someone for directions" isn't a cliché

People act like you get some transcendent spiritual reward for sticking with stupid problems until you solve them "on your own", some joy or inner peace Or that this is a vital skill that will serve you well when your plane crashes on a distant island or something

Or that life is like an RPG and "building character" is a skill that levels up generally so being the guy who laboriously tries to figure out how to do your own plumbing and causes hundreds of dollars worth of damage to your pipes will eventually make you a wealthy entrepreneur

Uncle Arthur is here to tell you that what my life experience teaches me is that you will never get some reward from the isekai writers of the universe where you end up on an island needing to solve puzzles and shit The world is not actually set up to reward "building character"

*My* hardass tough love "I just want you to know what you need to know" lesson to my kids would be that life is hard enough, in ways none of us can do anything about, and anything that makes it easier is fine Shortcuts and laziness and "taking the easy way out" are good

We are all taking the easy way out, unless you hunted and gathered your own food (and even then you're just taking advantage of the bounty of Mother Earth that fell into your lap, you didn't create the ecosystem you were born into)

I agree with all of this, but I guess I'm left with the question of whether it's ever a valuable experience to try to figure something out for oneself even if the technical knowledge already exists & is written down somewhere?

It is, if you enjoy doing it and you think it's the kind of thing you'd be good at It's not something to be pushed into against your will when you're already hungry and frustrated and you know you're not a "technically oriented person"

That's fair! I have a dad who's a lot like the dad in the story; when I asked for help, he would sit with me and ask questions that would help me to understand how to address situations where I'm not sure of how to proceed. But I never had food withheld from me.
