  • We are both actively exploring the stars and the ocean. There’s still a lot we don’t know and there’s still plenty of species being discovered in rainforest all the time.

    Bacterias and viruses are also something that you can never finish exploring and there are for sure weird creatures like tardigrades that are still undiscovered.

    You’re just in time to discover genetics, epigenetics, biomechanics of nutrition, chemistry, biochemistry, how to make custom creatures from DNA building blocks, protein folding applications, mysteries of how the brain works and even math as mature as it is also has tons of undiscovered parts.

    Sure you might be too late and to early for a couple of specific things but science discovery is absolutely exploding and random average Joe types are discovering things all the time. I think on the contrary now is one of the most likely things where you can just flat out discover something about the world that nobody has discovered before.






  • Only good way to get a house by age 30 is to become a plumber, electrician or other type of job that pays well with minimal study and save up while living at parents or sharing a flat with 3 mates.

    Then you need to save heavily and invest in stocks and/or bonds with the saved money so you can beat inflation. With around 30k saved per year it’s possible to get pretty early onto the property ladder.

    Going to college and living somewhere in NYC for example will get you nowhere close to 30k a year with student debt and if you have a kid you’re screwed.












  • That’s fair, but looking at papers is not really a good entry point for people getting into skills specifically. For information the GOAT it’s always Wikipedia but skills is trickier.

    Getting into car repairs, plumbing, woodworking and more can be done with YouTube and is frequently recommended by people in the trades.

    Getting into running is and weightlifting is also pretty good with YouTube since you have “Göran Winblad” physio and a running coach which does some quality content and “House of hypertrophy” is just weightlifting research news and he makes sure to mention caveats, holes in the research etc.

    Notably bad examples are programming and guitar playing which offer close to no value in my opinion but I’ve heard some people have had success with it. However when you get into music theory YouTube becomes good again.

    So in general LLM for basic info on what exists, YouTube for some examples on how to do it but the other >90% should always be practice.
