Why everybody is wrong, even me

So we've all heard it before, some gas bag extolling a peice of gear or survival technique or goddamn shirt like it's the holy grail, and you know what? To them it probably is, but it probably won't be for you. Because, like it or not every human being is unique for a variety of physical, mental, spiritual, and geographic reasons.
That's why most of the internet is people arguing about why their decision or choice is the best and all should follow. Now it isn't totally their fault no matter how dickish they are about it, our brains are hard wired to defend and support things we "know". Now I put know in quotations back there cause technically none of us know shit, we knew Jack but he left. It's a survival lizard brain thing, if it works it must be the only thing that works. Doesn't matter if you're talking about a knife, tv show, fire starting technique, or the way to cook a burger.
Now everyone has an opinion and by George they are entitled to that shit like a kid who ate all their dinner, but the problem comes from when those opinions disagree. Now I used to be bad for this, I would defend Bear Grylls and SOG knives like a medieval knight defending a maiden. It's why I quit Facebook, because I realized at the end of the day;
1. It was fucking stupid.
2. It only stressed me out.
3. It didn't matter.
Defending whatever you like against someone who doesn't like said thing is a sisyphean task that only stresses you out and makes you hate people. Now since quitting Facebook I've had somewhat of an enlightening, in part because of Mark Manson's the subtle art of not giving a fuck(fantastic book, definitely recommended) and in part because I finally accepted that it doesn't matter what others think of you or your choices. You are the only one who can decide what's best for you.
Case and point for every story you hear of a particular knife "failing"(I hate that term) under light use, there's a story of someone who used the same knife for many years without issue. Which is why you need to make the choice of what is best for you. Because what I like is probably wrong to you, but that's a good thing, if everybody was the same the world would be a boring ass place.
So until next time, live forever, Wolf out.
