I am the opposite. Things just like this make me happy for understanding them. I want to know how everything works. It’s so gratifying and interesting.
And when you don’t know what 80:20 rule means, that’s when Wikipedia comes to the rescue.
The Pareto principle (also known as the 80:20 rule, the law of the vital few and the principle of factor sparsity[1][2]) states that, for many outcomes, roughly 80% of consequences come from 20% of causes (the “vital few”).[1]
That’s what makes it so beautiful to learn what I can. I do sometimes feel overwhelmed by the enormity of it all, but what grounds me is taking the time to feel joy at each wonderful little thing I do have the opportunity to learn, as well as the opportunity to share my learning with others.
Throughout my life, I have accumulated a heckton of random knowledge, all tied together by my subjective perspective. There are things that I know that no-one else can know — insights that come from a particular arrangement of facts and experiences. It gives me a sense of clarity because it reminds me that one of my duties is simply to just “hold the camera”, so to speak — to be the anchor for my particular, situated perspective
