The horribly impatient, broken culture demands that everything has to have a solution that can be delivered quickly, that if it’s not delivered quickly—without even having an understanding of how the thing is accomplished, whatever it may be—then the lack of its quick fix solution is the proof that it’s a failure, and that its approach is worthless and has to be abandoned, without question. This is a dangerous and risky attitude.
Quick Fixes Fail
There are no quick fixes. Even Albert Einstein warned us about keeping things simple, but not too simple. If the default standard ever crosses the line where thinking is abandoned and absolute beliefs emerge without critical analysis, that’s risky and dangerous. Common sense tells us that. Labeling of complex sequences of things are in the same grey area—dismissing a sequence of a dozen complex behaviors in favor of its label—its narrative—is sufficient only if every person in the conversation agrees with those twelve complex behaviors being present. Eleven behaviors demands a different label and a different discussion. It’s complicated.
The things we’re trying to accomplish in the relationship between humans and dogs is too complicated to expect there to be a five second delivery of answers in each and every case. Lacking the patience needed to think through complex interactions, humans are going to continue to miss out in the understanding that Nature needs them to have.
Quick fixes move products off store shelves. Quick fixes don’t work—if they did, there wouldn’t be any more quick fixes since things would be fixed… but they’re not.
