Even if you don&#8217;t implement end up actually implementing this idea you will learn a lot more by approaching ideas as if you are going to implement them. Doing this takes your head out of the clouds and forces you to approach problems in a very realistic and pragmatic way that many idealistic and impractical philosophers and academics fail to do while locked in their rooms and ivory towers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica;\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica;\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica;\">(Expect an update to this theory sometime soon)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I think it&#8217;s important to become obsessed with an idea and to continually critique and iterate it, to expand the vision and then shrink it down.
