Sci-Fi Meanderings

Over the course of the year, I’ve learned a lot of things. This year in particular I learned one most important thing:

What NOT to do.

Turns out, there are several ways of learning. We can be led through inspiration. We can be taught through shadowing. We can study through spoon feeding. And surprisingly, we can also learn negatively.

Learning the hard way is never easy. Not always the most effective in my point of view. But it’s still learning nonetheless. If you’re a sponge, you’d be able to survive. I can only speak for myself. Or am I speaking too soon?

The problematic thing is, even though you may be in the primordial soup brewing with potential to evolve, you won’t be able to - no matter what you do - if you pour molten hot lava even before a plankton can develop legs to walk on dry land.

Which brings me to the question: can we evolve in a world full of potential when your learning is inducted in flames?
