I’m addicted to identifying structural patterns.

The trick is that there is complexity to be found in “basic” or “fundamental” concepts. If you start looking at the nuances. Deep inspection from many angles. Challenge them, stretch them, and learn through curiosity.
Most people breeze by the basics — they want to jump right into the advanced concepts — the flashy topics.
But if you root your understanding in first principles, your sturdy foundation will give you the structure and stability to reach incredible heights.
