Nothing of any consequence. Unless you are a super-mega-genius of Claude Shannon level or so. That’s only 365 hours. While the 10,000 hours thing is overblown, I’d say in many fields you can develop expertise if you’re reasonably smart in 2,000-20,000 hours. Some take even longer than that.
For 99.999999% of people, 365 hours is just not nearly enough to even be a really good amateur at something, much less an expert.
I don’t trust what anyone tells me with the exception of my partner and Zeynep Tufekci. Anyone else, better bring a whole ream of citations and/or some RCTs. “Doing your own research” is usually a fool’s game. Fortunately I’m no fool. And I was born with a galactic brain and a contrary nature.
I’m doing good.
The first ten on today’s playlist:
My favorite live CHVRCHES performance. Lauren is so much more physical than usual and she sounds great. It must take a damn long time to put on all that ornamentation and dazzle around her eyes, though. I’d blind myself doing that I think. Looks great but seems a lot of work.
If I can’t solve a Wordle in three tries, feels like a failure. I just wish my superpower was more remunerative.
I love Katie’s Alabama accent. This is what country music should have evolved into but it was taken over by bro country. Which is horrible.
