I'm considered an expert in my field and I still learn new shit each and every day of the week.
There are people out there convinced we've mastered science. I forget who it was in the late 1800s that claimed that mankind now has a perfect mathematical representation of the universe thanks to physics and that there wasn't anything more to learn.
The problem is that most people that spend two decades on a particular topic think that they know everything about it. It drives me crazy (should say crazier :-) ). I'd love to know how many of these fucking "experts" have stifled innovation all over the world just because it might make them look a little bit stupid for a day or two.
You should see what a lot of these beta faggots do to get some of their idiotic fucking ideas into a specification just to have their egos massaged. They can take something straightforward and pervert it into a 300 page document loaded with fucking garbage that nobody will ever use just to say "I came up with that idea". Everyone is afraid to call them out of course since it might 'hurt their career'. (I gave up going to conferences after the first one I went to ... that experience made me wonder how in the hell the industry gets anywhere).
In 4th grade I learned the Scientific Method said to question your own results. Then I watched elected leaders defer to "scientists" who claimed the science is settled. That's when I started listening to Limbaugh.
Being given classes on science doesn't make you a scientist. Being curious does and actually doing the field and lab work yourself. Then you have knowledge and freedom. Tie yourself to a school and you have limited study you can do and report or they'll toss you aside.
The New Pork Times had to retract a hit piece on the rocket engineer Goddard decades later when they claimed space was a vacuum, so his rocket would drop out of the sky.
They failed to admit their stupidity until men landed on the moon.
I remember my dad using that for me when I was in kg/1st. They put me in special ed because I couldn't read as well as the other students, so my dad bought that and sat down with me. In a month I was reading at a 4th-5th grade level. Schools are garbage
Did you read with your parents much before kindergarten?
I was reading novels already at that age, mainly because my mom read books with me a lot, and I just followed what she said and figured it out.
I also liked it and pushed her to read to me all the time.
I learned to type on a computer when I played parser input adventure games, like King's Quest. I'd always call my dad to type for me but he couldn't always get there so I had to learn it.
In both cases though, I spent a lot of time with my parents learning these things.
School..... I think I had good teachers that cared at that age... But... That's not where I learned how to read and write. Maybe writing came a bit more from school I guess.
The more you know, the more you understand how much more there is to know. We all thought we were smarter than our parents in our teens. Then as we got older, we realized they were much smarter than we initially thought.
Reread my post. It never said our parents are smarter than use. We were somewhat full of ourselves when we were teens. Similar to people who think they know it all. We are all a little guilty if being over confident at some point in our finite lives.
If every day you go to sleep thinking:
You're a dumb ass.
Every day I try to make sure I go to sleep thinking:
If you are still learning, you're living.
When you stop learning, whether because you've grown complacent or proud, you die.

Dude had to be a fucking idiot liberal.
Becoming an expert merely means you have attained the capacity to learn even more, not that you already know it all.
I agree 100%.

I think Galileo said the same thing...those beta faggots

I love this story.

Mine were far better educated. Latin and Greek in middle school.
Not always the case. I am far more intelligent then my parents (they also agree). What they had was more life experience.

"than" sorry grammarfag here
Me ain't so great at languaging.
I'm sorry you got short changed in the parent department. I was luckier. That being said, they both happily went for the vaccination.
My papaw, grandfather, told me. "The day you become an adult is when you realize you don't know much of anything."
