One of the most profound insights from our chat with @DavidDeutschOxf.
We cannot define creativity, knowledge or explanation.
No “formal system” - no regular algorithm as we understand it - can bound them.
Now why? Listen below.

I turned 35 today, when I was 30 I wrote down in a notebook that I wanted to be full self employed by today
I honestly couldn’t fathom how much I’d love doing this back when I wrote that down but I damn well knew I wanted it
I’m not writing this to fish for birthday wishes or subtly flex what I’ve done - I’m writing it because I know there’s a bunch of you out there that want the same thing
From writing down that goal to achieving it was a 3.5 year gap
I started with LITERALLY 0 experience, no family money, and in a position of just barely keeping my head above water financially
It’s not only possible, it’s attainable for anyone willing to put in the time and stick with it over a long time horizon
There’s never been a better time to build
Let me be your “if this idiot can do it so can I”
There's a famous quote by Einstein: "My pencil and I are more clever than I."
It's the same thing with "My computer and I..."

I spent my early twenties in finance and “making money” as shown below
As a result I became suicidal because my soul was being strangled by working in an office surrounded by zombies working to make rich people richer
I quit and moved from New Hampshire to Los Angeles to pursue my calling and just “figure it out”
Many ups and downs and the adventure continues, has been well worth it.
I am grateful everyday I took that leap
Anyone reading this who is facing a similar conflict/challenge: you must take that leap of faith
Trust God.
Nature loves courage
Fortune favors the bold
Onward 🌞⚔️
School doesn't socialise, kids quite the opposite. Homeschool kids can interact with people of all ages. School kids only interact with individuals their age. Many kids have a horrible time at school
Humans are learning machines. We do it naturally and are excited and interested to learn (about the world, about how to communicate, about how to have fun and find almost everything interesting) from birth, basically.
What frustrates this *is mandated, coercive learning*.
