💯 Everything jyn says in this post

I've been thinking a lot recently about how, like many people in this society, I grew up believing that there were people who did amazing things, and there were people like me, who did not

And then more recently I started to figure out that dividing people into those two categories was unhelpful to myself in doing interesting things, and probably unfair to whoever I was putting on a pedestal

So even without trying to understand why so many people are taught this belief (probably trauma, and the unexamined beliefs of their parents and teachers), I think that it's one of the most important things we can teach, alongside practical skills, is that, hey, if you practice long enough, you can probably become incredibly skilled at that skill which you admire

Finally achieved something I've been wanting to do since the 80s!! I have always wanted to recreate this fantastic display, and today I've achieved it after fixing my poorly Micro vision.

16K RAM Pack
Microvision 1B

Absolutely lovely.
