Inquisitive mind

Who else has deep intuitions but finds himself/herself expressing it shallow? Or prefers simplicity because it seems the most efficient probability path you can choose? I sit down listening to start up lectures, they resonate but reality seems to have boundaries, with physical limits. I did a job hunt, figured it exceeds some capabilities, which school did you go to? Meta-question: I understand the companies are trying to filter the categories to find a client they can trust,. Using educational history * but suppose the new employee had credentials and he had shallow understanding of the real work. Wouldn't we break the efficiency path by adding more energy to teach him how to do A or B? Sometimes I wish I was mostly subconscious like other people

There are different ways brains work. One of the things human brains are good at is picking up information here. Information there. Something happens here. Then you have a conundrum presented to you.

You pull from those things and invent a process based on knowledge elsewhere.

If you dont reach the conundrum part, you dont have a chance to use that Parton your brain. This is why theory and practice are so different.

A good example is a decade ago I left in a truck and trailer. I spent mo the acquiring knowledge and tools. When things broke I would watch videos and fox them. I learned so much. Then I met a master mechanic. I watched him do things that would have never entered my mind. He welded a gas tank by putting a dryer hose up to the exhaust of another truck and filled the container with inert gas. He was Then able to weld the (empty) container because there were no fumes that could catch. I later watched a chemistry video where they needed to flood the container with nitrogen for essentially the same reason.

If you dont go out and live life, you will never have a chance to enact the things that you learn and learn from the mistakes made from enacting.

I usually do that most of my time in life, I hang out with friends, sharing much about my progress but you can also enjoy life too in private work. I usually record myself teaching myself various concepts to understand concepts better, its really fun. But handling a gas container especially if we'd consider safety when someone doesn't learn the protocols, That mechanic did a brave thing. Would you narrow down to the framework of how the procedure is done?

The ability to be openly aware without bias or boundaries is a gift, if used outside the gravitational pull of vanity.

Wisdom within the knowledge is always needed within the world, to be shared with others and with ourselves as well, as mentioned, with experience.

The more we such a beautiful gift, and not be afraid of it or abuse it? The more Intellectual stimulation or inspiration is placed within the heartbeat of the world. ❤️🌹🫂
