See, I think there is a “try”…

Or at least, I think there’s a “try not”, and therefore also a “not try not”, and conventions of boolean logic suggest that we can further resolve that to “try”, and one word def seems easier to me than three, so… I vote we run with that.

None of this is meant to suggest that Yoda doesn’t have a point, tho; I just think his target audience is people who are already trying, and the insight that there is a point, in the course of learning how to “do” something, when one must reckon with the understanding that they already know how to do that something well enough, and the time has therefore come to shift into actively “doing” the something, even if one feels they aren’t ready, is a helpful one, so… please keep telling yourself that “trying” is not an option if that’s the toggle that needs jiggling for you!

What I’m saying is that there is also a toggle between “actively learning how to do something” and “not devoting any attention or energy to something”, and my Venn diagram for that mode of active learning and “trying” is pretty much 100%.

Oh yeah, and hi there, world!

I’m thinking about relaunching my blog…
