Learning P by Following Posts
—“I’m a good example of someone who didn’t learn P, just kept following posts and after around 6 months I can follow posts pretty easily. A lot of the operational terms come up consistently and once you’ve looked up ‘demarcation’ a few times, and seen how it’s used you know what it means. Still haven’t won a King of the Hill yet though, I figure I’ll have to actually learn P to be able to do that.”— Grant Cameron McPhee
Yeah, well, you just illustrated that you learned by playing king of the hill: observing the game until you’re ready to try to make the climb. THERE IS NO BETTER WAY TO TEACH HUMANS THAN KING OF THE HILL GAMES – IT IS HOW WE EVOLVED TO LEARN

Learning P Is a Masters Level Investment
Apr 12, 2020, 12:47 AM by James Krieger [I]t is a Masters level investment, & most of those who struggle do not even have an undergraduate comprehension of math, liberal arts & the sciences. Most of us who show promise have spent years studying political science & economics beforehand, or are accomplished in industry (Bill). P is an interdisciplinary subject matter that requires extensive background knowledge in the history of thought, law, economics, game theory, neuroscience, sociobiology, anthropology, computational science & so on. If you are struggling with basic concepts, I can tell you that you do not have what it takes to be a producer/contributor. The core of propertarianism is not difficult to grasp; we’d be able to teach it as third year course at top 20 undergraduate schools & most students would ‘get it.’ That most struggle speaks to the poor quality of education in America.

This Is Why – Some Ideas Are Catastrophically Harmful – Because They Are Sources of Ignorance.
by Daniel Roland Anderson In my teens, and as late as my early 20s, I was into the conspiracy theories. I think I was jumping from noticing patterns to imputing conscious intent and organization to the (malignant) patterns because my Mormon upbringing taught me to look for The Plan of Salvation in everything. Pattern recognition may get hijacked, or something, at a critical stage of development. Not everyone who fails to grow out of this way of seeing the world is incapable, or lacks agency. I’m only just now being able to guess with hindsight at what was going on with me. If I tagged the people I’m thinking of in this comment, they’d possibly/probably be offended because I said when I used to think like this, and used terms like “grow out of” to describe a process that they might want to take a look at. I think this category may be a big one. By Francis Zhou I share a similar experience, having spent my formative years in a protestant church. I have to admit, running with the herd was comforting, however similar to you, I “grew out of it”, after realizing the constrains Christian teachings placed on my growth. By Curt Doolittle Well, when I say ‘some ideas are sources of ignorance’ (which I got from popper) this is what I mean. Some ideas are catastrophic because they prevent better ideas. Hence need for truth.
