If you're looking to do your life's work, you need to treat experimenting, getting to know yourself, the world, and how you fit into it, like your full time job. I know for sure I wouldn't be where I am rn without a community that embraces exploration like @southpkcommons does.…

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and…

The purpose of education is to inspire the desire for learning in students and make them able to think, understand, and question. Not grades.

An occasional failure mode of serious math learners is jumping straight to the most abstract books without first amassing a zoo of concrete examples. "You might think that you can learn all math simply reading Bourbaki, but that [is] just wrong." Grinding through concrete…

Posting daily progress updates can do wonders for building a habit. 1) It creates a streak mechanism, and 2) you feel like anyone who reacts expects another update tomorrow. Both are powerful psychological levers that increase the chance you'll stick to the habit.

Paul Graham was onto something with “keep your identity small.” Most people let their ego steer the conversation. The trick is to have strong ideas without needing them to be you. Curiosity > Identity.

Does anyone know the XP totals for each course? I remember @justinskycak sharing a post breaking down XPs for MF series, linear algebra, etc., but I can’t seem to find it now.

Hey everyone! Quick question. how do you pace yourselves? On the site FAQ, 1 XP ≈ 1 minute of active learning. In my first week, I’ve noticed for brand new topics: ~3x time per XP (e.g. 8 XP = 20–30 min w/ solving, reading, checking work), and for stuff I already know: closer…

Fall in love with some activity, and do it! Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn't matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough. Work as hard and as much as you want to on the things you like to do the…
