Does Working for the Government Make You Dumb?

I recently witnessed unemployed doctors matching in the streets demanding that the government employs them.

Weeks later employed government doctors were on strike demanding pay increase and better working conditions.

What an irony!

Some want the same job others are claiming is paying poorly. Plus, how can doctors, who are in short supply nearly everywhere in the world, be the people to strike for poor pay.

Is it that they can't see money making opportunities available all around them? Is it that the more you are educated the less entrepreneurial you become?

And having seen many other petty standoffs involving civil servants I wondered...

Do people who focus on government to solve their problems become dumb?

    Really ironic... when they don't nothing to do, they are asking for work. And when they got job..... they are complaining that the salary is not enough for their daily living. There's no satisfaction!

    Hi.

    Dumb is a relative term.

    One of my partners for over 10 years was an emergency medicine doctor and made very, very good salary. The catch that I learned, was that most doctors are practicing with a high insurance premium target bulls-eye on their back. Their salary was relevant to their personal quality of life expectation.

    I might agree that their plight is less dire in a cosmopolitan population in general, but it seems to be according to personal greed or endeavor factors. In other words, it depends on the moral character chemistry of the doctor.


    Question: how can doctors, who are in short supply nearly everywhere in the world, be the people to strike for poor pay.
    Answer: individual moral character expectation, which might or might-not have anything to do about concerns of others, immediate, regional, or global proximity opportunity, or self interest.

    Question: Is it that they can't see money making opportunities available all around them?
    Answer: Emotionalized or self interest motive activity, doesn't always coincide with perspective perceptions, as understandings of perceptions can be distorted away from accuracy. On the other hand, forecast interpolations of today's activity, may lead to a more stable cond9itin within the profession, despite a current day motive action. This all depends on an individuals competence of the politics of a systems dynamics.

    Question: Is it that the more you are educated the less entrepreneurial you become?
    Answer: Individual character chemistry is the deciding factor here. For some, the more you know- the less you know, and for others, knowing is enough to be satisfied and stable within an endeavor.

    Question: Do people who focus on government to solve their problems become dumb?
    Answer: One mans petty problem, is another mans cause. Its all a matter of 'relative correspondence' concerning perspective.The application of discriminate intelligence, can expres a type of dumbness so to speak. This type of dumbness can simultaneously enhance and or degrade spectrum's of intelligence

    So I say again, dumb is a relative term. Let's look a this a step further.

    There are circumstance of situational systems, that humans agree to live and interact by, which can or cannot have anything to do with the harmonics of governance.

    Humans are people, and currently have a monopoly of divisiveness efforts concerning self interest concerns, that are less than the necessary social and or environmental actions that accommodate a greater good.

    To work for any governing body, migh better be suited to individuals who are versed in what we know as 'political science', as a last order of prerequisite education.

    It might be a better fit for an individual who endeavors to work for a governing body, to first know what there is to govern concerning:
    • basic arithmetic and mathematics to condition the mental strata of the minds intelligence towards the prescriptions of logic...
    • ancient mathematics to enable the intrinsic psychological chemistry of the mind, to augment and breathe beyond the surface limits of casual everyday perception...
    • platonic solid geometry to be able to employ the psychological feature expression of 'relative correspondence' in relation to better accuracy of perspective perception clarity's...
    • planetary, regional and social environmental interactivity mechanisms, that sustain and maintain the dynamics involved with quality...
    • political-social-financial climatic systems like: Dictatorship, Oligarchy, Theocracy, Feudalism, Capitalism, Democracy, Socialism, Fascism, Naziism, Communism, so as to know their temporal and or tangible impact or bleed upon each other...
    • psychological control systems such as: fear, religion, nationalism, inversion, political, edification, well-being, quality of life, etc, in order to gauge, measure or implement the short or long term effectiveness of governing policy...
    • materials administration concerning groups and populations, which will compliment the administration of resources and productivity, and communal growth...
    Yea, doctors should know this kinda stuff too, that's relevant to their profession... There's more...

    Something ton think about.........

    Sounds more like a union than a government problem. In either case, don't live your life reliant.

    Watching TV and Youtube makes you dumb. Working to better people's lives doesn't make you dumb.

    Life is a balance of many things.

    What you're describing is a balance between 'self-sufficiency' and 'social-interdependency.'

    This is an ancient philosophical tug-of-war which we humans have yet to find and maintain that perfect balance.

    What we lost in Eden, we have not found.
