School

What I'm learning, and how.

The path

Dual enrollment at the University of North Georgia in high school, a year at Georgia State, then Georgia Tech for a BS in Economics.

How I actually learn

I understand something once I know its origin: who invented it, and what problem existed first. Once I know why it's useful and see it used. When I see a picture of how it works. When I see it broken and have to fix it. When I have to explain it myself.

Calculus is Dungeons and Dragons

Learning calculus is like somebody teaching you the rules of Dungeons and Dragons. A gargoyle is basically this animal where if you roll a six, and you're in the forest at a certain time in a specific area, you have to give over all your enchanted spells to survive the night, or else the goblins take your charisma. Yeah, a piecewise function is a function with different rules for different parts of its domain. You'll see what I mean as the game goes along.

On college

If college is not accepting of truth seekers, if it is not a free marketplace of ideas, if it will not accept the journey to Veritas, then college is of no value to any free man. Dialogue will save my fellow man. Silence is a great threat.
