A hook baited with brainworms

Literally scientists discovered a way of doing maths that can take in the enormous amount of information freely shared on the internet (something not possible in any time bar the last couple of decades) and learn and grow and figure out language, and that is freely available for anyone to use on a decent laptop which most people have. A free public resource contributed to without cost by the public to share human knowledge and provide ways of creating images and writing which would never otherwise be achievable for some people. (Disabled people exist! People with no time to spend hours per week on their hobbies exist!)

one of the hardest things to learn as a depressed former Gifted Kid™ is that half-assed is better than nothing. take the 50%, 40%, even 20% job. scrubbing your face is better than not taking a shower at all. picking up your clothes is better than never cleaning. nibbling on some bread is better than starving.

One of my college professors used to say “anything worth doing is worth doing poorly.”  I didn’t understand that for years because I didn’t do anything poorly, I couldn’t do anything poorly, I had to Do Everything Perfectly.
