Dear
I "emphasize" that with controlled residential ventilation//KNX etc. to illustrate that sometimes I naturally have a preconceived opinion that comes from somewhere. Usually, you don’t even know what actually influences our decisions. I emphasize this because I sometimes marvel at myself and am glad that I can also be convinced by things that I previously considered unnecessary stuff.
"Absurd" or similar judgments wouldn’t please me either, I understand that, especially if they are held as universally valid.
For example, I know from my heating technology that it is regarded here as absurd or wrong, even if some modern architects or energy consultants endorse it exactly the same way; here it simply has no chance to be discussed, so I leave it and keep experiences, images, etc. to myself. In this respect, I understand the criticism of something being "absurd." It doesn’t get any better when such a view is generalized by the supposedly other side, as if there really were an old-young problem in this regard. From my point of view, it is sometimes more like young builders think as "old" as I unfortunately probably can’t become.
I count the users involved in this short quarrel among the few competent and more moderate participants whose posts I always enjoy reading. Since is no longer here, his free approach to so many things is missing anyway.
Recently, I was called an "old-timer" from a generation that has always had the gold flakes fall into its mouth anyway, because I presented my view from two different building periods, 1990 and 2021, and thought it might interest someone how it was back then, not just as a threat or know-it-all attitude. But I was apparently mistaken.
When presents her point of view here, I find it rather interesting; whether it fits me or not, I can decide for myself. As a non-car owner and self-confessed low consumer, she already does something that many here prefer to just talk about.
That often reminds me of my past nerd phase:
Now, I was not a "nerd," but have always been interested in innovation, so I know such annoying replies from the professional environment. Nevertheless, I can ask myself the question whether new means innovation (for me) or it is junk (for me), and some things are then junk (for me). For everyone else, it may be completely different.
But I agree with you. This discussion helps no one and may have driven away the OP. That’s why I’m just quiet.
Exactly that, namely being quiet, you should not do! There will always be a variety of answers and perspectives needed, we already have enough mainstream everywhere.
If I’m lucky, maybe someone will think about it.
I already know one!
This is exactly what I repeatedly criticize, that people rarely want to seriously consider the other and defend their own positions to the knife. It is indeed so that our house here was influenced to a considerable extent by participating users. I found that very enriching, for which I am thankful. This applied equally to technical things as well as to individual experiences and personal life events. Unfortunately, these are becoming fewer and the technicians and calculators more, which I personally do not like.
I’m constantly told I’m too thin. I once told someone he/she was too fat. No one is ever ashamed of being thin…
I understand you! I know a young man to whom they always say first that he is so tall. He is a basketball player, but he was tall before anyway :D. Had nobody ever told someone clearly in front of my eyes that it annoys him, it could have happened to me too. Thin is considered desirable today; fat is always immediately antisocial. In Tonga, they see it exactly the other way around and are nevertheless happier than here.
So - enough chatting again. I am actually sure that we, who have now talked ourselves apart here, are fundamentally closer to each other than to many others here. After all, over time, you get to know the people.
Buenas noches.....
