      Yep, I missed it.

      Look, there’s a lot helluva going on in the world right now, and I’m only one person, with a full time career and a family to take care of. I don’t - and can’t - know everything.

      Most of what I know comes from my reading stuff and bullshitting around on the internet (and getting valuable feedback) in those few precious moments of quiet time, which are few and far between. I steal a moment here and there when I can.

      As you get older (unless your job requires you to be a newshound), you’ll find yourself growing less and less informed, because there are greater and greater demands on your time, attention, and energy.

      I do what I can with what I’ve got.

      I have found the quickest way to learn stuff is just to spout off something on the internet, and await feedback. It’s kinda like trolling in a way, but designed to satisfy my own curiosity rather than to incense others, if that makes sense.
