Thinking about why people have such trouble with any sort of competence across different knowledge areas. I mean, even a bit of basic knowledge is beyond most, even when they think they are trying. I don’t understand it but I want to. I am trying to. Sure, I have a big brain but I’m still just a single human. My time is just as limited as anyone else’s. I am not 100x smarter than anyone else — no one is. What is that I am doing that other people aren’t? Can it be reproduced?

Sure, the world is a big place, but the basics aren’t that hard. They really aren’t.

Inspired by my dead friend and what her natural inclination would be, I want to try to help people be better, rather than deride them for being not good enough. This is me pondering that and how to do it.
