QC (in Berlin 7/29-??? w/ COVID 😷) on Twitter: "@BoringJedi @dinglevery @GeniesLoki as opposed to the way i did it which was like at least 50% to prop up my ego and/or keep my parents off my case" / Twitter

I don't really understand why everyone doesn't grind problem solving skills constantly. It feels like almost everyone gets to a certain (often quite low) skill level in what is basically a cheat code for life with unbounded upwards growth and then goes "welp, that's good enough"

how so? what was negative? one possible negative i see is that deliberately practicing this mindset might make one more likely to frame things as problems to be solved, which can be counterproductive if the "problem" is a human.

i was applying a lot of force to myself. it’s hard to love yourself when you relate to your self as a problem that needs to be solved
