i am congenitally curious, so knowledge especially from impulsive experimentation is constantly being acquired... and in my business a high level of knowledge is required as is a reasonable amount of daring to experiment with something that seems like a better solution than what is already known

and knowledge is a one-way process, you can't go back to not knowing, so yeah, it often times is painful both in acquiring the knowledge or simply remembering it when something you see triggers associations

but i wouldn't choose another way, i like this process, and may i never stop so long as i am breating and living
