I'm glad it was reposted, because I found it intriguing and inspiring for the reasons mentioned in the current top comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18282678

It may not be _genius_, but I don't think it's stupid, and especially not because it's an artistic rather than practical guide.

I dunno, if feels like an invitation to attach contextual meaning to a selection of random phrases.

You could present this as a list of things ${profession} should know, and somebody somewhere would find it a refreshing thought experiment.

I would question if those mental gymnastics reflect on the source, or on the individual who created the meaning?

Without context its just a list of stuff with indeterminate intent - any artistry is the result of the reader willing it into existence.

Believe or not, this fits very well as the informal curriculum of my Masters degree in Architecture and is not random at all.
