<p>Healthy solitude is a gift for reflection.<p>To an extreme, reclusion rids one of the input from living life around.<p>Need input and reflection to be an upward spiral, otherwise input  without reflection, or reflection without new input trends towards putting a person into a downward spiral.</p>

<p>I was more referring to the children that compare themselves to other children, or differences between what they have/are allowed to do and what others can.<p>It's why I prefaced it with "It can".<p>Every child is different, but a big impact is every parent who has or hasn't dealt with the normal childhood stuff every parent can have, plus the extra, or latent reactivity can be modelled and passed on.</p>

<p>I learned a lot during those years too, and in some ways had to learn those things no matter what role or opportunity I chose.<p>I received some advice to simply add 15 minute of additional "work" a week, and not any more until I could handle it to my baseline... and then be sure to add 15 minutes of "balance" a week as well.  Where my work days would go long, I found I was able to tie in habits to go for a walk, eat, etc.  This did let me stretch quite far for a longer time, and burn out was a much lower risk.<p>How efficiently or effectively I learned those lessons could be debatable, but putting in sheer hours on learning and learning to apply things has compounded in some areas very strongly.<p>At the same time it must be acknowledged that doing this in a way that is not balanced can naturally lead to under development in other areas and it's worth trying to stay mindful of.<p>Hard work isn't a bad thing, it's the gap of not learning, not improving, not reflecting.  There's no shortcut to putting in the work or learning the learnings.</p>

<p>Grades only matter as much as being able to transfer just to the real world.<p>People can use AI to outsource their learning, but if they use ai to outsource their understanding they just set themselves up to fail even more.<p>From what I’ve seen, how students are using ai (not that they are using ai) is making them less prepared for the real world, which unfortunately is changing faster than ever at the same time to create double impact.</p>

<p>LLMs hallucinate, because humans hallucinate.<p>Asking the LLM in a way where it annotates its sources, it can greatly increase the pattern matching to closely simulate logic, just like in humans.<p>I understand the question of why did you say this, not that, I have seen other ways of asking that which do not seem to trigger the LLMs over-response in the other direction.</p>
