Nice
Eh
Why I left
- some people I met taught me a lot
- ex's
- black holes - might exist in brain
- it's kind of true - due -> microtubule quantum computing
- holes - black -> white
- it's kind of true - due -> microtubule quantum computing
- be a job - creator > taker
- that's how I ended up retired
- men - might have something similar to women - for periods
- that's how I found out about manopause - before it became mainstream knowledge
- black holes - might exist in brain
- ex's
- coolest teacher - Hua Lee
- class - ECE 194R
- knew every professor
- reason
- was
- department head
- at UCSB - a very long time
- worked on - valuable research
- -> - forming - internet
- ex - one class he taught
- I'd fail - just looking at the course website
- reason - written in - rtf syntax
- didn't even knew that existed - till then
- reason - written in - rtf syntax
- I'd fail - just looking at the course website
- was
- reason
Eh
- messaging
- ex - 'separate A from A+'s'
- issue - teacher trap
- job is for the teacher - -> get students - -> A+ status
- but I can see the benefit of focusing on - A+'s > A's
- but if A+'s - are focus - when - they leave class - -> - pursue better
- then - all teaching - is - wasted - on someone - no longer there
- -> where - all learning - left - classroom
- all - left - those that aren't aware - of anything
- -> - where - it takes longer
- -> - get - class/learning done
- due -> - having to constantly start over
- i.e. - classes - go nowhere
- like - that
- i.e. - classes - go nowhere
- due -> - having to constantly start over
- -> - get - class/learning done
- -> - where - it takes longer
- all - left - those that aren't aware - of anything

- parts
- A-F - school matrix
- A - information
- i.e. - giving - answer
- w/ - explanation
- i.e. - knows everything
- a.k.a. - 'know it all'
- i.e. - knows everything
- w/ - explanation
- i.e. - giving - answer
- A+ - metadata
- applies - what's known
- -> - focus on - what matters
- answer - explaining what's relevant
- and - the direction - heading in
- and - goal/result
- and - the direction - heading in
- i.e. - seeing if the answer is what it's all about or not
- if not - focus on what should be focused on
- i.e. - analyzing one's steps - -> right soln
- where - knowing the correct answer - doesn't matter
- if - it doesn't relate -> anything
- i.e. - wastes time
- if - it doesn't relate -> anything
- where - knowing the correct answer - doesn't matter
- i.e. - analyzing one's steps - -> right soln
- if not - focus on what should be focused on
- answer - explaining what's relevant
- -> - focus on - what matters
- aware - of matrix
- student - schools teacher
- -> - put teacher - in subordinate position
- which is - what makes teachers gravitate -> it
- but is the reason - why it's a trap
- -> - them
- reason - makes them - at the whim - of the A+ student
- where - teacher - becomes student
- so - they're no longer a teacher
- and - they cancel themselves out
- thereby - defeating the whole point of any of it
- in - the first place
- thereby - defeating the whole point of any of it

- student - schools teacher
- applies - what's known
- post grade
- not - focusing - on explaining/navigating
- but - contributes - -> matrix
- i.e.
- what matters
- builds the very - content, field
- used - by teachers
- ex - research
- i.e.
- but - contributes - -> matrix
- levels - mult
- some - post-scarce
- ex's - what would be deemed A++, etc.
- components
- A+ x 2 - decided - -> do research
- A+ x3 - automates/outsources/offloads - research
- A+ x4 - reached imagination age
- i.e. - created all the research that needed - -> be done
- and - just works - w/ beauty - of one's creation
- i.e. - created all the research that needed - -> be done
- A+ x5 - allows others - -> do same
- follow - in footsteps
- by - sharing - steps
- -> - others - -> catch up
- -> - that level
- -> - others - -> catch up
- by - sharing - steps
- follow - in footsteps
- A+ x6 - hive mind
- i.e. - connecting - everyone's contributions
- into - 1
- -> - work from
- a.k.a. - centralization
- -> - decentralizing
- into - 1
- i.e. - connecting - everyone's contributions
- etc. - follows ages
- post - imagination age
- by - platforming - -> emergence
- not - focusing - on explaining/navigating
- issue - teacher trap
- ex - 'separate A from A+'s'
Why I left
- I never wanted to go
- to
- college
- UCSB
- gave up my whole life and sanity - -> acad
- only - -> go -> - wrong place
- to
- messaging
- misleading
- the title of the major alone is
- reason - it's not electrical
- but - electronic
- there's only 1 electrical class
- it's an elective
- i.e. - ele 142 - INTRODUCTION TO POWER ELECTRONICS
- it's an elective
- reason - it's not electrical
- the title of the major alone is
- bad - ex's
- the advertising slogan the school used to attract students to attend was 'at least we're not berkeley'
- where they said - people in berkeley are so cutthroat - they'll rip pages out of books - -> make sure no one else got to pass the tests but them
- this is why I've been hardlined on ebooks ever since
- it's no longer learning - if it's a competition
- this is why I've been hardlined on ebooks ever since
- saying that you're not berkeley is a really low bar - -> be a step up from
- berkeley has >>ppl - doing illegal, unethical activities
- UCSB was no better - the violence got so bad - I had to leave
- then they had a mass shooting
- unfortunately the mass shootings followed me
- -> where - they had them where I moved to
- so UCSB - showed how bad they are in it
- they didn't - provide something good - -> gain from
- reason - they knew they were bad
- and - couldn't do better
- only the bare minimum - for some pseudo community feeling
- that just isn't really quite there
- even though some people believed there was
- maybe it was for them
- but that was mainly the party scene
- because UCSB was synonymous for another nickname
- that shall not be reiterated
- it's that bad
- that shall not be reiterated
- because UCSB was synonymous for another nickname
- but that was mainly the party scene

- 'you can't 'know what you want -> do' in the 1st year. You have to take time -> 'find yourself''
- I already knew what I wanted -> do - since day 1
- focusing on changing that - leads -> never being - settled, happy, productive
- as you'll always do a little bit - in different areas
- w/o - dedicating - -> getting as far as possible
- in - the best (>est) possible
- w/o - dedicating - -> getting as far as possible
- as you'll always do a little bit - in different areas
- focusing on changing that - leads -> never being - settled, happy, productive
- issue - you don't have to keep trying to find yourself if you know what to do
- reason - pareto principle
- by the time you get -> college - you should already have a major - that you - want, are working on
- I already knew what I wanted -> do - since day 1
- 'you need to be a new person - as the moment is now to 'be whoever you want - -> establish a brand, change your look'
- you don't have -> change - if you are - the best (>est) you can be, don't want ->
- what's the point - of changing -> something else
- if - there's a risk - of it - being worse, not for you?
- instead - if you agree -> something you want
- then - follow through!
- not - get caught up - in - pleasing others, antics (ex - distractions)
- then - follow through!
- 'it's not enough to align with a cause - you need to advocate for it too (through protests)'
- issue - didn't take into account
- whether or not it's the right - direction, way -> go
- what impact - negative, positive - it'll bring
- instead - it's important - -> focus on - what matters most (>>)
- and - do - what's needed - -> get there
- while - keeping perspective - of reality
- not - foolishly, blindly - follow something
- just because - it tries - -> appear >> > it is
- and doesn't take into consideration (sadly) - whether or not it's right for you
- just because - it tries - -> appear >> > it is
- not - foolishly, blindly - follow something
- while - keeping perspective - of reality
- and - do - what's needed - -> get there
- issue - didn't take into account
- 'learn from failure -> succeed'
- if you have a direction - going the opposite way - would lead away from where you need -> go
- not - -> it
- ex - if map directions say 'go right'
- you don't 'go left'
- -> - figure out - what 'going right' is all about
- -> - figure out - -> 'go right'
- when you could've just done that all along!
- -> - figure out - -> 'go right'
- -> - figure out - what 'going right' is all about
- you don't 'go left'
- ex - if map directions say 'go right'
- instead - learn from success - -> succeed
- reason - success - begets more (>) success
- otherwise - you're left - w/ a mess
- from - failure
- on top of - try -> succeed
- which - adds insult -> injury
- and who can get out of that hole without doing >work > needed?
- which - adds insult -> injury
- otherwise - you're left - w/ a mess
- reason - success - begets more (>) success
- not - -> it
- if you have a direction - going the opposite way - would lead away from where you need -> go
- 'fake it till you make it'
- issue - unethical
- being an - imposter, impersonator
- = - stealing

- being an - imposter, impersonator
- instead - be real
- don't - dupe yourself
- or - others
- by - putting yourself down
- -> - lift yourself up
- reason - that's not fair
- no one wins
- when - others are made -> suffer
- for - one's own benefit
- when - it's important to learn how to lose
- and live - w/ consequences
- -> - one day do better
- by - knowing how ->
- -> - learning ->

- and blamed me - for other people's faults
- and said - I was wasting their time complaining
- or they did - it was to take advantage of me
- not caring - but just trying to make my health worse
- wanted to listen - but only if I told about what was traumatizing
- for - their own financial benefit
- didn't care - about what was happening
- only - what they wanted to hear
- -> - in the end - blame me
- only - what they wanted to hear
- not - for my sake

- I felt like I should be in a safety major
- if I got to choose my major next
- which I did
- if I got to choose my major next
- i.e. - proof of concepts > demand
- which is the reason - for most engineering disasters
- said I was not 'engineer enough' - due -> valuing principles - that they short projects on
- and wonder - why their projects - don't work
- they wouldn't let me go watch iron man - the movie - with them
- because - I wouldn't understand it
- well - I did understand the movie - very well
- but the parts - I didn't understand - are there for a reason
- for me - to be inspired - -> do better
- i.e. - fill in the pieces that're missing in the world
- so - they're created
- purpose - movies - sci fi presentation -> be built in reality!
- -> - speed up - sci advancement
- it was the engineering students around me
- that didn't understand this basic concept!
