The point, for the thesis I'm seeking to put forward, is that there are forces we can call our allies. As Resistance works to keep us from becoming who we were born to be, equal and opposite powers are counterpoised against it. These are our allies and angels.
The War of Art
Steven Pressfield
And in its broadest sense, neural Darwinism implies that we are destined, whether we wish it or not, to a life of particularity and self-development, to make our own individual paths through life.
There are three factors that determine how much we learn: See. Most of what we know comes from other people. The ease of learning from others determines, to a large extent, how quickly we can improve. Do. Mastery requires practice. But not just any practice will do. Our brains are fantastic effort-saving machines, which can be both a tremendous advantage and a curse. Feedback. Progress requires iterative adjustment. Not just the red stroke of a teacher’s pen, but contact with the reality we’re trying to influence. When we’re able to learn from the example of other people, practice extensively ourselves, and get reliable feedback, rapid progress results. Yet, when one or all of these factors are inhibited, improvement often becomes impossible.
