Numbers don’t lie but people can sure as fuck pick and choose the numbers they give you and phrase things to make them sound like they mean things they don’t
learn fucking stats or at least how they can hurt
As a wise man once said: There are lies, damned lies, and statistics.

Hi! New EP time!! ‘Moods’, which I’ve been working on over the past two months, is the lo-fi/ambient/cute/chill thing I mentioned in my previous update post!
It’s something to listen to while studying, working… or just doing nothing 💕
With ‘Moods’, I tried to let go of my perfectionism and tendency to over-produce things. I’ve always been afraid of too much repetition in my music, so I needed to get comfortable with that.
All the ideas for the tracks came with the limitations of 8 tracks and the warm sounds of an analog synth. I did use more tracks afterwards during editing, but the initial ideas were at 8 tracks max.
It’s important to set limits for yourself. Focus on the core and expand once you’re happy with that. This doesn’t neccessarily only apply to creative work.
is there a word for “i was instantly good at a lot of things as a quote-unquote gifted child, and, as a result, i was able to skate by without ever being taught how to actually learn a new skill, and now that i’m an adult trying to learn new things that i can’t be good at instantaneously, i don’t have the patience or knowledge to improve on them, because skills that don’t come naturally to me just make me angry because i lived off instant gratification my whole childhood due to not ever being challenged intellectually or taught basic learning skills?” asking for a friend
people like this piss me the fuck off
why does everyone refuse to consider the possibility that maybe an education system designed from the ground up to turn intelligent and creative children into mindlessly efficient factory drones might have a negative effect on the people it deems (correctly or not; usually not) to be more intelligent and creative than average?
we were punished for “learning too fast” by having the lessons about how to learn taken away from us, and by couching it all in positive language so that our peers would resent and isolate us. literally all of us know we’re not better than anyone else, but that doesn’t seem to matter in the face of “i was jealous in elementary school and have held on to that for 15+ years.”
when we say things like “i don’t know how to learn things that i don’t immediately understand” you hear “i was that kid you hated because i never studied but i always got a 100% on the test anyway,” but what we mean is:
i have a vague understanding of what a flash card is, but no idea how to make them or what to do with them
i have literally no idea how to take notes because:
i don’t know what i’ll forget if i don’t write it down
i don’t know how to pay attention to what’s being said while i write
i wouldn’t know what to do with the notes anyway
if i don’t understand something, i don’t know how to formulate a question
i don’t know how to recognize when i don’t know something until it goes wrong, at which point i don’t know how to identify what i did wrong
i can’t tell the difference between a mistake that’s part of the learning process and a mistake where i should know better
but yeah, if we ever acknowledge any of this, we’re definitely just being ungrateful whiners who don’t realize how good we had it when we were 7
This is also backed by Science! and is a fairly well understood thing. Studies show that if you have a neurodevelopmental diagnoses (which includss ASD and ADHD), then the higher your IQ is the more likely you are to fail either school or college and to fail at work. This called the twice gifted or 2g problem.
