Guy does tons of drugs, likes roguelikes, is into Prolog, Latin, Rust, C, has a Knuth check, has a degree in Nuclear Engineering, and has fuck-you smarts so companies will preemptively hire him to get keep from causing trouble elsewhere. I feel inferior just by the knowledge of his existence. It feels like when Sunday reveals his true nature in The Man Who Was Thursday. Can ye drink from the cup that I drink of?

You have to treat that kind of stuff like jumping into cold water: just ignore the signals and do it.

drugs is mono
roguelikes is tri
prolog, C and latin are penta
Rust is tri
Knuth check is penta
degree in Nuclear Engineering is penta

average: (1+3+15+3+5+5)/(1+1+3+3) = quadri
Four stars out of five, not bad.

Jumping into cold water is too much effort, you have to forget the water and the cold and make of the action "jumping" the natural state of your being.

Anything that one man can learn, so can anyone else. You just have to set your mind to it. Now at least you have a goal to work toward!

I come from a family who never had more than a highschool diploma. What bugged me about the successful people in college was how unserious they are. For me this is 100% of my life, for them it is a small detail. 1% of their life.

I'll never be young and carefree enough to reach mastery of even one of these at this point in my life. No, autodidaticism is a young man's game.

Not with that attitude you won't.

You don't have to do it on your own. There's no shame in learning from others.
