I’ll add another:
When I realized that the “politics leads everything in history and the important events were due to kings, czars, militaries, and presidents.” Only to learn the reality is that all politics is downstream of economic incentives and the technological and even natural environment.
That which kind or queen did or said what and won or lost which war was largely irrelevant to the fact that gun powder had been invented and the very landscape of what is possible in politics and the economics of violence had shifted wildly and everything was going to change including the very architecture of political power.
Public schools have this completely backward, and I think it’s because a political education system is inherently obsessed with the political power ideology.

quoting note1w5y…7caaWhat’s something you learned that completely changed how you saw everything?
I’ll start:
When I found out that being healthy and losing weight wasn’t about spending hours exercising & running miles every day, but that 90% of the battle was just about removing horrifically unhealthy (and very normalized) chemical substitute, grain heavy, “fat free”, and sugar packed foods - but was just about getting back to the basics and animal based fats. Everything else is crazy easy after you do that.
Then to add, that your mood, depression, energy levels, are also SO insanely dependent on that same problem.
What was one of yours?
