How does Jakob break the WR in the 1500m...

I promised myself to stay out of this but it’s just to tempting to interfere… And I know some of you will think it’s narcissistic of me to pretend I can do some schooling here, but the theme is too important to let it be. So feel free to slaughter me afterwards…

”Why do you feel so inferior? Parents didn’t love you? What went wrong?” -man oh man -I get it that you are pixxed (and in your own eyes rightfully), but trying to be a psychologist when we are pixxed got some major side effects:

1. Your wording could extremely easily been turned against you. Armstronglivs didn’t do that fully, but he could have done. And it would be extremely easy for someone like me to analyse you from your choice of words here, and I could easily make it look like the truth (even if I didn’t believe it myself)…

2. You are right that bad parenting can explain inferior complexe, but it can also explain the opposite, and all sorts of other things… But your wording misses out an extremely important nuance: It’s more common than uncommon that people feel their parents didn’t love them enough. -Even if one had good parents… Our need for love is limitless..!

3. I myself had very bad parents:-but I know some of the things this has done to me, and it’s not easy to put all this into a diagnosis or scheme….It’s just part of being human in a very demanding world - We do all pending between feelings of being inferior and feeling over confident, and everything in between -the situation and our calm decide how we act or speak…

4. You can pose that Armstronglivs is the one who is the problem -who started the deprivation of the debate and so on, but you cannot know this for sure. He can have had his experiences, and met things that pixxes him off, even things that you said. -We are all so self righteous that it’s hard for us to imagine anyone can be pixxed on us..!

5. You are not even fair against Armstronglivs -he isn’t harsh all the time. For instance has he said something positive about some of my perspective in a post, and he has also been the bigger man a couple of times he didn’t needed to… That doesn’t mean that you can’t criticise him fiercely (I do that too..).

6. Armstronglivs, Coevett and Salvitore Stichmo are among poster I have called out as “illogical”. But that doesn’t mean they are stupid. -In my work life (before retirement) part of my job was to assess grown ups’ mental capabilities and resources -I. can tell you that they all are highly intelligent, knowledgeable and well spoken (then they choose to), and not at all illogical overall (I myself is illogical in some cases, we all are)… And even if Coevett for instance, seems to have a bias against black people, he argues well for him not being a racist..

7. I don’t say that your feelings or your point of views are wrong; not at all… I’m just saying something about the wording , and I’m quite sure I mean this well…😊

You're old and everyone around you has already noticed your oncoming senility. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

If we are to believe what he has been sayi ng in interviews, he won’t be doing any 5000 meters before Budapest. Winning the WC is his main focus.
But he also said after Bislett that he played it a little bit safe. He has also said that whatever he runs at Bislett, he can run faster other places with faster tracks.
I’ve also read that he hopes to run «really fast» in Lausanne and Silesia.

And this would make sense right? (The playing it "safe"). He's still human after all and probably has some natural fears about blasting through 800m in under 1.50 when his comfort zone is 1.51.5-1.52.0 at the moment. Everything I have is just a guess but I think it would be super logical to see him test out something between 1.50.0 and 1.50.5 through 800m and see how he handles that. And if he handles it close to how he did in Oslo we could then see him testing the 3.27.0 threshold. I don't think hypothesizing that as a possible measured approach is out of the realm of possibility.

You who will not adress me; why do you google my username then (to Rimbaud’s “Je est un autre” -“The Self is Other, the self is another” -sorry; you found a bad translation….), and even write it down? Is it Rimbaud who bothers you, or is it me (you struggle to get rid of? -Sorry, didn’t mean to bother you -why don’t you reread the nice things I also have written about you..?)
