As Feynman once said, there is a difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something. I know the name of many topics but I need to get to know them much more intimately.

What do you do?
I'm studying how to focus and think rigorously in a systemically distracting world
Why?
It's hard to develop these skills; they escaped me for many years but I've come to realize that whatever you're running from is actually what you should face head-on. For me it's actually learning how to absorb information fast and effectively, how to problem solve and not just memorize
What should we read?
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
