I've learned that I know way less than i thought I did. Apparently I'm the type of guy that believes a lot of stuff at face value, so I've had to relearn a lot of things. It's definitely made me a lot more skeptical in general.

I've learned that I'm extremely optimistic, even if the odds are against it... is that very naive? I know
I once read a sentence that said:
"The pessimist is the optimist with experience"
Could be 🤣

That's a pretty good quote, I may use that. 😀

I feel the same way.
Bitcoin has taught me that I really didn't know anything, or that what I knew wasn't very useful. I think my best process so far has been un-learning in order to assimilate the real information and allow myself to really learn about Bitcoin and how the world works.

That is such a great thing to learn about yourself. I learn more and more each year and it makes me realize how much I don't know. Being comfortable with "I don't know" is a growth area for many of us. Humility is in short supply. Its why the saying "Stay humble, stack sats" is something I repeat. Like @ODELL I repeat it for myself.
I'm no dummy and I'm very curious and skeptical. Arrogance can creep in and its a weakness not a virtue. Its one that my younger self had in more supply. Sounds like you are on a good path intellectually. Stay curious, stay humble, and strive for self improvement.
There is always something to learn. Even from idiots. There are lessons we can all learn if we are willing to learn.

Ha! Well one thing is we didn't have so much proof of the stupidity or our fellow men :)
But the access to knowledge and info is amazing. It has positive and negative tradeoffs. We have a lot of evolving to do though. Great time to be alive. I reject doomerism.

That if I just manage my flitting mind and tackle one thing at a time, I might just get things done instead of juggling half-baked projects all over the place haha
Do you think over things while you drive? Or just stare into the outside surroundings and leave your mind blank?

I spend a lot of time just thinking. I get bored of books and podcasts so I spend a decent amout of time driving in silence.

It can be pretty nice at times. It allows me to think of things I want to get done and plan my time off of work.
