In the Arctic, they eat wolves.
To eat wolves you have to hunt and catch wolves, which is no small task.
They’ve mastered it though, to the point of having various techniques to trapping a wolf and killing it.
One approach is how they nab a lone wolf.
Next time you’re in the mood for wolf burgers, but wanna be lazy; do this.
Find a long, sharp knife. Five inches or more should do the trick.
Grab some blood. Apply it liberally on the blade.
Bury the handle of the blade within the wolf’s hunting grounds.
Then wait.
Eventually a wolf appears, excitedly licks the blade, cuts himself. He then gets a loving taste for his own blood. Keeps licking til death.
I bring this up for many lessons.
1- The right trap always works on its intended target.
2- The way you can trick a wolf into killing itself is the same way you can trick yourself into success (or failure).
3- Often the laziest approach to work yields the highest ROE.
4- Delegating your work to people or tools gives you more time to enjoy life.
5- Sometimes when you feel like you’re winning you’re actually losing.
6- It’s safer, smarter, and more secure to have a wolf pack.
7- DOing anything alone makes it harder and more dangerous.
8- Specific traps only work on specific targets.
9- Wolf burgers ain’t kosher.
10- There are better places to live than the Arctic.
11- You are what you eat.
12- Depth of knowledge makes you an expert. Knowing a wide variety of things on a Wikipedia level makes you a good friend, but only on trivia night.
13- The true nature of things can’t be Googled or read on Wikipedia.
14- It only takes 3 steps to ruin a lone wolf’s day. About the same for the average person too.
15- If you’re not hunting wolves, is your life really “so hard”?
