Before antagonistically commenting on my takes, take a moment to consider that I’m smarter, wiser and simply better than you, and thus there must be something you’re missing if you think I’m wrong. There are at most 10 people to whom this doesn’t apply.

You get all these artistic depictions of the Chicxulub asteroid that have it as, like, this big glowing rock in the sky, like the moon from Majora's Mask, and "oh, what would that have been like!? Imagine the stress!"
But the reality is almost worse.

It's never been easier to quietly and carefully teach yourself material that you never learned. Youtube is full of lectures and the internet is full of notes.

Pick human teachers & when I say learn, I mean to do things yourself, not to prompt wolfram alpha

IMPORTANTLY:
Be honest with yourself about what you don't understand. Doesn't matter why you don't know. Could be something that was really unfair/not your fault. Racism in the classroom, sexist study groups, whatever. Go to therapy to deal with it! Don't let your pain be a barrier to your learning.

I think too often physics students unconsciously have the idea that some people have brains that are "natural" for physics and some don't and who knows maybe that's true to some extent but regardless of natural tendency at some point everyone has to practice practice practice

If you feel like you are behind or underprepared, the only way out is through: spend the time on the things you don't know, figure out who will answer your "stupid" questions. Then ask them, even if it's anonymously online

A note on learning physics ⚛️ for starting PhD students:
At the risk of saying something completely useless because everyone has it worked out
There is no magic trick, your classmates *may* be faster than you, but they are still studying as long as they need to and you are quite capable of the same

Whenever I wanna see if there’s any clumping of values in data at a first glance, I usually don’t do a histogram. Instead, I arrange them in increasing order. Large gaps in values indicate groupings better.

"What if we give people without hearing problems access to pre-written lecture notes to study? It's impossible to say, but it would definitely be bad, so we need to make it impossible to access these notes for the sake of protecting accessibility."
Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

Capitalists managed to turn a very simple and *completely normal* problem with automation, into the popular conception of luddites, to the point where they convinced people it's weird to not want to come home missing limbs for a fraction of the wages you deserve.

"I'm being paid the same now, when I make 500 shirts a day, as I did when I made 50 shirts a day. Where the fuck is the money going?"
The popular idea of luddites is entirely due to generations of capitalists trying their damnedest to obscure what is a very simple issue.

An easy way to explain luddites:
Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand.
And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before.
That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

Anarchists know that a long period of education must precede any great fundamental change in society, hence they do not believe in vote begging, nor political campaigns, but rather in the development of self-thinking individuals.
