Reinhard Hermann

I am a talentless person who doesn't know what I want from life.

I'm 18 years old. I don't know what to do with my life. Until now, I've spent all my time playing computer games and reading modern fiction. I've never had a thirst for knowledge. I wanted to join the army, but I have very poor eyesight, -8; -8.5, and I'm a scrawny guy, so I just wouldn't pass the medical examination. I'm definitely not a tech person, and I'm unlikely to be a humanities person either, because I'm simply dumb and uneducated. Programming doesn't interest me at all. I'm just a basic consumer, really. Lately, I've started getting interested in history and the history of painting, but I'll definitely lose in competition to people who have been interested in this stuff almost since they were in diapers. I'd like to hear stories from people who have been through something similar. How did you find your path? What do you do now? I'll probably be frying chicken at KFC my whole life, and lately, that prospect has started to bother me.

there’s a gap between the message and the outcome and that friction is hard to ignore

Just reading this, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven and that’s what people are responding to

the timing matters more than people admit and that’s where people will push back Not convinced this is settled yet.

Reaction: They both have a serious jaw condition so it should be a fair fight

If you zoom out, this feels like a half-step, not a full move That’s just how it reads to me.

Looking at this, the signal is clear, the strategy less so and that’s where it gets complicated That part stands out. Curious how this plays out. That’s the impression it gives me.

this feels more about execution than intent and that’s where people will push back We’ll see how people react over time.

the signal is clear, the strategy less so and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone That’s what makes this interesting. Feels like an opening move, not an ending. That’s the impression it gives me.

From the outside, the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here which turns this into more of a debate

Bluntly speaking, the follow-through is what will decide this and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone That part stands out. We’ll see how people react over time. Others will probably see it differently.

Not gonna lie, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven which explains why reactions are split This probably isn’t the last word on it.

the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here which is why this is getting picked apart That’s just how it reads to me.

Bluntly speaking, this comes across more reactive than planned and that’s why opinions are all over the place

the wording alone shifts how people read this We’ll see how people react over time.
