| Being able to convey information in simple terms and pass along the depths of your understanding are two independent topics. As an example, when we teach people how to fly a wingsuit, we essentially teach wingsuiting (which is a massively complex pursuit) as a set of nested arrays of increasing complexity. For example, for a first jump course, the goals are as follows:
- Exit safely
- Demonstrate ability to navigate in-flight
- Deploy These are the most foundational aspects of flying a nylon dress out of an airplane. After a few jumps, we'll add complexity to each of those, so to shift one point, it starts looking like: - Exit in an unstable manner and gain stability in less than three seconds In order to do that, you'll need to understand what causes a wingsuit to be stable, why it gets unstable, what happens when it gets unstable, and how to correct it. Additionally, you'll understand why I want you to do it in less than three seconds. However, at first, you just need to get out of the fucking plane. If I try to tell you all this extra shit you won't remember the foundational thing I need you to remember. You'll probably get unstable, you'll probably figure it out kinda, and you'll probably at some point deploy a parachute. Teaching's hard. |
