Follow some P members, and use the “see first” Friendship or Follow option. Read the posts daily. Most of what you see you won’t be able to unsee. Meaning you’ll have know it to be true but never had the words to articulate it.
Share those posts that gift you clearer frames; The ones that give you the “aha” moments.
Re-phrase the frame in common vernacular as to be able to explain it to friends face-to-face. The technical arguments irritate many (they ought to; you’ve been lied to); the practical knowledge however is always received kindly.

I get a lot of knowledge and clarity from following y’all. Perspectives and wisdom I’ll never find anywhere else. Still learning methodology. Well worth the time I think. Bill ‘s and John ‘s vids are very helpful. (John’s last one [Constitution] knocked it out of the park).

And look up new words, or P-specific words.
Identify Curt’s neologisms.
Turns out, knowing what other people mean is important.
Ross Lampers
Learn that Curt deserves the benefit of the doubt like 100% of the time, or else assume you’ve misunderstood him

First competence (consume P accurately)
Then expertise (produce P accurately)
Then craftsmanship (produce accurate P that survives markets)
Then mastery (complete integration of methodology into self)
I want to see hundreds of craftsmen bringing P to hundreds of markets. Maintaining accuracy while doing this – “Re-phrase the frame in common vernacular as to be able to explain it to friends face-to-face.” – Own your P frame and lead your market to it.

I think I learned a lot from trying to explain it to others irl. When they didn’t understand, I’d go back, make sure I understood it, improve where needed, then come back with a reframing, then repeat.
Luke Weinhagen
Absolutely. Same for me. I enjoy the long form discussion and argument we use to learn and build and test P. But it is the ability to strip it down and bring it to an audience that dictates our results. Whether we are a hobby or a solution. That is the dance between expertise and craftsmanship.
Adam Jacob Robert Walker
This is what I’m starving for, the long form arg with people like us, not the “normies”. I think Ive got an optimum amount of value from discussing with outsiders to us that I could possibly gain, relatively. Now I’m starving for the long form discussions with people like us, the “insiders”.
I have this wonderful frame, and everything makes so much sense. Now, it’s like…what’s left. What’s left to talk about, that hasn’t already been covered extensively by either curt or one from our pack. I’ve got writers block on what to focus on in order to produce and add value to the rest of the movement.
Luke Weinhagen
Totally understand that. I found P in December of 2016 and probably spent the next 2 years just learning it, responding to Curt’s posts, and those of the other guys, and getting my face pounded as my sacred cows died. It was great and that model holds much value for me. But it does not serve most of the audiences I speak into. I can not bring long form P posts to work or to family or friends. I can not bring long form P posts into local politics. Those are my markets at the moment.
So for me to add value to P at the moment, I have to find ways to take a 15 paragraph P concept and convey it in 5 sentences or less (exaggerating, but you get what I mean I hope) that are consumable by my markets. This is why you see me practicing condensations of the concepts in public threads and on my timeline.
Anyone and everyone can add value to P by bringing P to their markets/audiences.
Adam Jacob Robert Walker
This matches my experience. Now, I want to go deeper and it’s like I need the experts to bounce ideas off of irl, not just people who don’t know. I can teach to newbs, given enough time and considering the material is graspable (within their limits to understand).
TEACH P BY EXAMPLE
(From request via twitter)
Pick a topic of interest to you (problem, solution). You’ll do better with whatever is interesting to you. And the public will prefer listening to solutions.
Search the P-site for articles on that topic and read as many as you can until you feel you ‘get it’. Usually that’s like ten.
Address something about the topic(problem, solution) in your own words.
Include the minimum quote, aphorism, definition, or series that brings certainty.
Write a script.
Pass the script by me, Martin, Brandon, or the other folks for error-checking.
