Don't set out to create problems, because problems have solutions. Resolve to create dilemmas, where there are no good options.

It's what Ukraine is doing to Russia in the war, basically

there's a difference between problem and dilemma? (aside from the spelling) xD

Shimarin : a dilemma is when you're faced with two solutions and choosing either means you get screwed over for not choosing the other

In Chess it's called a "Fork". You save one piece but lose the other

well, more than one solution, anyway. You can be utterly screwed and have plenty of choices and none which will completely solve everything

ooh! i see. two lesser evils but both evils are equal. xD

mmhmm, so hypothetically if you want to screw someone over, say at work, then you don't make their life difficult by giving them hard hurdles. Cuz they can clear them and look good doing it. You swamp them with more than enough shit where they can't possibly deal with them all and now they look bad

thanks for the idea.

LMAO

I don't play Chess, though. I'm not very good at thinking ahead
