a thread about what I'm learning about LEARNING 🤔 
LEARNING -> BELIEFS
Beliefs are initially formed in ignorance. We don't know the whole picture when we start forming opinions on things.
Learning changes your beliefs.
It gives you control by preventing you from acting as a victim of ignorance.

LEARNING -> ACTIONS
We all act rationally in that we act based on our beliefs and what we we've learned up to that moment.
Since learning affects our beliefs, it affects our actions.

LEARNING IN PUBLIC
This is why learning in public is (on some level) terrifying.
You are putting those ignorant beliefs on display for all the world to see (and judge) as you work to educate yourself.

We inherently know we're ignorant if we're learning.
Hence...the learning.
Admitting we're ignorant publicly is difficult. Especially when we suspect we're more ignorant than those around us.

BUT we all benefit from learning.
This is also something we inherently know.
Which is why we're fascinated by people who share what they're learning

Which is why I think people respond so well to those who are learning in public.
The humility to say "I'm ignorant on this...but I'm trying to change that" in front of others resonants with us.

Example: I was blown away by how many people liked my thread trying to figure things out about Roam.
More people liked it than I had followers at that time.
Me = 🤯

And scrolling through my Twitter Bookmarks, most of them are other people learning in public.
Which is probably why I've bookmarked them in the first place.

I'm still solidifying my thoughts on learning, especially in public. This thread itself is still very squishy in my head as my own beliefs are changing.
Prior to the past few months, I never felt compelled to learn in public. Now, I'm pushing myself to do so more and more.

Ok, I think that's it for now.
Who else should I be following regarding learning in public?
