I agree with the sentiment of this. I think our obsession with innate mathematical skill and genius is so detrimental to the growth mindset that you need to have in order to learn things.

I've been working a lot on my math skills lately (as an adult). A mindset I've had in the past is that "if it's hard, then that means you've hit your ceiling and you're wasting your time." But really, the opposite is true. If it's easy, then it means you already know this material, and you're wasting your time.

It was an uncomfortable lesson for me to realize that as a manager I ultimately do have power over my reports, even though I am no better than them.

If I saw a car stuck like this I would probably remove the cone.

I agree with you. Regret minimization strikes me as a futile endeavor and not a wise way to make life decisions.

New comment by gsabo in "Proselint"

I ran some of my recent emails through it. It picked up my overuse of exclamation marks and my use of "all of the time" instead of "all the time." It definitely doesn't seem to sensitive - I would lint all of my emails with it if it were easy to do so.
