"Why are there so many hand prints on the windows?"

Stupid people require mountains to be moved, smart people move around them

captainprincess (12/28/2015) [-] actually smart people climb the mountains
it'd take you a day at best to go around a small mountain

haroldsaxon (12/28/2015) [-] That's not true at all. There are all kinds of mountains and what you want to do depends entirely on that specific place.

captainprincess (12/28/2015) [-] There ARE all kinds of mountains yes
and the smallest of them is still impressively wide at the base
Unless youre thinking of like, really big hills

haroldsaxon (12/28/2015) [-] This is a drawing from a trip I had a couple of years ago. Blue line is boat, 15 min~. Red line is walking around the mountain close to the shore, roughly 4 hours. Green line is across the mountain, 7-8 hours I think. This was walking a laid out path and walking on the edge.
Not to mention all the crazy ass mountains I've seen further away from home. I bet a days climb in Lofoten gets you shorter than a couple of hours walking. Most of those aren't really climbable by common people regardless, but for the purpose if this discussion.
To climb over, you would need to drag a couple of kilos of climbing gear with you as well, then spend time nailing it into the mountain walls. Probably spend some time resting as well, as it's quite demanding.
Then you have places like the UK where there aren't really mountains, more just cliffs and hills. The very few hills that could be considered mountains are much, much flatter. Obviously walking over these would be much more viable.
Another typical one are large mountain chains, or mountains, with a lot of flat area or natural roads. These are the places where you'd travel killometeres both over and around the mountain, and it's much easier to see which option is better.

manueldomingues (12/28/2015) [-] mountain is KMs wide, smart people takes months going around
meanwhile the stupid people are making a tunnel and when the smart people arrive they realise the stupid people are already there
who´s really smart?
both cause they both found a solution to a problem

crusaderzav (12/28/2015) [-] Assuming the average mountain has a circular base, you would make a tunnel of length d. In order to go around the mountain, you would have to travel πd/2. Therefore we can assume that the people walking around the mountain would have to travel 1.57 times faster than the people who can dig to arrive a draw.
You couldn't dig that fast. Smart people win again.

manueldomingues (12/28/2015) [-] ***** if you wanna go that far....
the people that dug the tunnel put a tax on it for the ones that didnt, so in future trips the other ones have to pay if they wanna go faster, there´s also the return trip...
also a mountain may not be circular it may be <=================> like this
and so the people going around take much more time

crusaderzav (12/28/2015) [-] Right but we're using the mountain as a metaphor for an obstacle, once you've passed it you shouldn't need to make a return trip. But ***** if you wanna go that far...
If the people that dug the tunnel put a tax on it, how could they regulate that tax? They'd tax the smart people and not the stupid ones? How could they tell the difference? Test them? A smart person could fake being dumb on a test. Sounds like you couldn't legislate it, So tax for everyone or tax for no-one. The smart people got to their destination before the stupid people, and now that the tunnel has been dug the smart people can use it just as freely as the stupid people.
I agree a mountain may not be circular, but assuming the average mountain is, my model works, or works roughly. And I think even in the case you're proposing, getting through solid rock even if it were that slim would be far more difficult than moving around.

manueldomingues (12/28/2015) [-] "the people that dug the tunnel put a tax on it for the ones that didnt"
so its pretty easy to put a tax on it, a mountain is not usually alone, if you wanna go around a mountain you got to either climb it or go around all the mountains which both take a buttload of time
if it´s a metaphorical mountain, going around a problem is not solving it
also you may have problems later on that make you have to cross the mountain again
e.g. the mountain is problem that small companies usualy have, you go "around the mountain" meaning you found one not definite solution to it, your company gets bigger, but later on you go bankrupt, you get another company, a small company there´s the mountain again, if you had a tunnel....
***** there´s tunnels for a reason, also why am i discussing mountains with some dude at 5:30 am **** ***** where di i go in life....

crusaderzav (12/28/2015) [-] See I looked at is as though the mountain was an obstacle, and the objective was to get to the other side. The solution is the metaphorical path you take, so going around it would translate to a viable solution. I can understand digging a tunnel if you gotta make the trip lots of times, sure it's worth the investment. But I looked at it as though a new or similar problem would be a new mountain.
s'okay man. Though I wouldn't call me a ***** , i'm a 5'6, 19 and white as milk.

crusaderzav (12/28/2015) [-] Uh had a pretty chill Christmas. Nothing that interesting happened, the standard; presents and lots of food.
No real plans for the new years, have exams coming up so I'm spending (or should be spending) most of my time studying. Life's pretty dull atm.
