Praise for the solutions that never worked for me

         I've spent a lotta time pouring over documents, videos at varying speeds, long form lessons, audiobooks, and a stack of physical books my monitor is sitting on top of. So much more I'd like to think, too. The question stands, "What did I expect to gain spending so much time?" What solutions did I find to the spiraling challenges of making things, so to say. I can say for sure I've found one thing: In my time studying I've found so much shit that outright did not work. Sitting here now with tons of personal and group success(relatively) I ask myself what about the rest.

    Things which are worth considering but also wrong. These are the giant's shoulders, and the way I build myself upward.

           Its solutions that never worked that spawn instantaneous failure, and somehow drive me to better understand the methodology I was given. Why did it a solution fail, how was it meant to work? I find cracks and follies all the time while asking these questions. A lot of things are super viable if they were just explained better or supported by data. Viable for me anyway, let's say viable for me at that moment. We aren't always ready for the info.

        Explain better, use data, I guess that's just what I request. Data isn't concise always, explanations rely on understanding. I've been filtering education like that for a very long time, its helped me make sense of utter nonsense and metaphor steeped napkin diagrams. Jovial bouncy anecdotes about things that sound correct to some. Straight up bullshit too. Always filtering words and trying to comprehend the key takeaways. Taken in the other hand is work I'd praise but can be dense or require a lot of work on the practical side. We aren't ready yet.

        That's a topic that has to be more understood than told when it comes to learning on youtube, you're gonna have a ton of moments where you think the person showing you info is absolutely full of shit and you're gonna have to sit there and follow along if you wanna reach your goal. I've seen videos cover it but honestly its a pretty small topic. The web builds over time.

    The moments between will follow you, always. Who you are between your moments is the most common form of you.

A moment to clarify:
        I absolutely do not mean the blatantly inflammatory statements that all too often show up as a shocking rug pull: "Undertale is actually a code mess, it was coded like shit!" "This person is the best in their field, but they actually SUCK at animation!" Sounds like a self esteem issue :P Maybe put that thought back. You aren't praising if you tear someone down to do it.

        Observing failure too is wholly useless for education I believe, though I find it hilarious that its a centerpiece excuse for consuming entertainment in guise of education. Just watch the movie, just play the game, you don't need to call it education. It can be I suppose, I'll just try and evade the topic. I'm too biased against it. Entertainment is okay, there is value to it! I'm working entertainment :P

         How you go about finding your education is something like 75% of the process I think. You learn a lot to execute a few small things, and maybe you're MEGA smart and reproduce that thing a bunch. How you talk about that education after, how you regard your sources, how you treat your prime examples and the esteem you give things that comfortably teach you. Part of who you are is how you treat your sources.

     We can discuss so much content that isn't immediately useful, or is useful to others than us. Insights that hit you yesterday hit someone else today in a new form.

        I've grown alongside others for I'd say about a quarter of my time. In that time, people showed me things that I had no use for but I hadn't considered how useful it was to them. Every solution that didn't work for me could still come to someone else. I've come to understand that when I see information on repeat that I know, its reaching someone else and perhaps it sticks. Information that failed you can serve others.

        This world is a great blue sky, it still amazes me when I see people break the clouds near me. The unique ways we go higher, the unique reasons. My 25% of study alongside others has been by far the best. Showing things to others, taking the time to show them has inspired others to try and teach me too. Still getting used to that :3 People listen to you, they take in what you say.


    Thank you for reading. I hope we all learn to make our lives better.
