I follow a lot of subjects and diverse interests but occasionally I catch myself staring at something I thought I knew and realize I’m not quite there.

Like I managed to get Flash Forth running on a microcontroller and a few basics beyond flashing a LED, but never figured out branching and looping in a way that clicks in my mind.

Or, how I follow a ton of science content from various sources, but feel like an idiot trying to talk about it with anyone IRL.

Does anyone else feel a disconnect from something like a digital mind versus analog life?

    Great contribution. Reminds me of “it’s not practice that makes perfect; perfect practice makes perfect.” Not exactly the same idea, but related: A good coach can elevate your progress well beyond what you can do yourself.
