      9/ A 100 IQ guy with a lawnmower + a high degree of grit can go further in life than a 150 IQ person afraid of hard work and pain.

      10/ How do you develop grit? * mentally picture who you want to be / what your standard for being a man is ("well...that and a pair of testicles") * put yourself in hard situations * don't give up / focus on who you want to be It's kind of like the trick to patience: wait

      11/ Muscles come from using them. Much of the trick to life is to get in the ring. I wasted most of my 20s waiting for life to happen. I blame 16 years of government education: I'd been taught that THEY promote you into new classes and new challenges when you're ready.

      12/ Once you're done with education (formal education, that is - informal education should continue all your life), the conveyor belt is over. No one cares, no one is tracking you. You have to create your own challenges. There is no clock chip emitting a pulse every 12 months

      14/ Another bad thing that 12+ years of formal education does is that it teaches us that all knowledge * comes with a title ("history", "math", etc. * is available in a book so you go to Barnes & Noble and look around. "Ah, the set of things I can learn is history, math ..."

      15/ There's a ton of things to learn in life that's interdisciplinary / non-disciplinary / in the cracks / in implied spaces / doesn't have a name. There's no section in B&N for welding. For grit. For polite-yet-firm negotiating. For inner peace. For gardening (well, OK, yes)

      16/ I'm a socialcon in many areas not because I was raised a socialcon and never considered other options. I'm a socialcon because our inherited culture has words and concepts for these not-in-the-academic-departments types of knowledge and skill.

      17/ There's more useful life wisdom in 2 or 3 of my now-departed grandfather's aphorisms than there is in the entire B&N "self help" plus "home decorating" sections. What academic department is "give a firm handshake and never lie" located in?

      18/ Hopping back to "sample widely" a nerd bugman should skip a few SF conventions and * take a welding course at the local trade school * go on a few day hikes * join a local gym's "morning bootcamp" He need not stick with any of them, but that's going to give him HUGE value

      19/ And a nerd father should encourage his kids to join at least one sport, go camping with the Scouts (some non-pozzed splinter faction, ideally), etc.

          "If you're in the same place a year from now that you are today, you're moving backward." Best thing my dad ever taught me.
