If you try to solve problems without fully understanding it (not understanding life somewhat as the overall construct for whatever problem that lies inside) then much of what you do can be making it worse or putting water into a boat with a big deliberate hole in it.
Using the same means to undermine those new idea or new things will surely not work (not be probable / will encourage the same things / waste more energy).
Thinking and talking about it really (between life) is just that long homework everyone has to do or else suffer from not knowing or judging incorrectly where the holes are, or even the assholes standing in front of the real assholes in the back doing their work unquestioned / undisturbed.
