Snake oil came first. By a likely ~ +50k years


The entire path re professionalism, in all possible ways... is rooted in the thing that came first ---- snake oil. Something that was in play the whole time....of predating ideas on professionalism -----for a likely 50,000 plus years.

To attack the very thing that bought about and formed -hell no, Defines- human intellect?

Could be an interesting discussion but I expect degeneration will set in quite soon.

Going back to physiology?

Women do.
It appears all I have to do is utter the words ordinary man and poof! Glubson shows up. Coincidence?
"...utter the words ordinary man and poof! Glubson shows up."
Opposites attract.

The first professional class, i.e., professionals providing specific services, is not the same thing as professionalism, which is the competence or skill of A PROFESSIONAL.

Two very different things.
We were told in ROTC that historically the idea of professionalism started with the military officer class. Not sure if this is true. But at the time of the development of that concept that particular class was surely putting it all on the line for their calling. It was not just training and a standard of conduct, it was putting your life on the line too.
