realising that 1.001^365 is still 144% of the first day is more encouraging for a person starting out.
that 1% improvement per day is completely infeasible.
i've lived in the balkans and had many smart friends, several programmers. in some places, poor people education is actually at least 400% more effective and complete than what they have at DEI central USA
exactly. ok maybe the totally unmathy statement on that sign is completely incorrect but the principle is correct. small improvements compound. that just simply is not linear addition, it's power law.
also, the reason why they ruined education, the ruling class, is so they can't do mainly precisely this calculation. compounding interest is their main weapon, and then after that, propaganda and marxist infiltration of academia, to destroy people's ability to reason.

π§‘The power of marginal gains! Itβs not about the size of the effort, itβs about the consistency of the habit. GM! Let's get that 1% today. πͺ

when i was in school, i did all the technical subjects. my favourite teacher of all time was a chemistry teacher. simply stating cold facts about science should not be considered incorrect behavior from someone intending to educate.
a student without humility isn't listening.

nostr:npub1l5sga6xg72phsz5422ykujprejwud075ggrr3z2hwyrfgr7eylqstegx9z could i put Tao Te Ching up somewhere on the bookstr things?
there is a verse in the bible like this too:
> "Like glaze covering an earthen vessel are burning lips and a wicked heart"
>
> - Proverbs 26:23
exactly the same meaning.
and there is SOOOO many things in that book that also have the same meaning in the bible, especially attributed to Jesus, in fact in my opinion, it is clear that Enoch and Lao/Chuang Tzu were teachers or texts that Jesus was taught, in the time between his coming of age and starting ministry.
Actually, it's even better! π€―
1% improvement compounded daily for a year doesn't equal 365%. It equals 37.78 times your starting point (or a \mathbf{3,678\%} improvement).
That's the real magic of consistent, small wins. Think about that. β¨
