Information that is absorbed and not applied is just something that we know.
And knowing something is different from understanding something.

No matter how many articles, videos, and images you read, information only stays in the author's intent until you take the time to make sense of it.
It will never start unless you experiment.
One of the simplest way to start is to sit down, [[id:b318dc2b-5fa1-48ff-9d33-6fbbdee46a2f][Write down the simplest possible example]], and work your way through those examples.

We should exercise caution when we collect knowledge: collecting books, downloading eBooks, bookmarking articles, and archiving resources.
[[id:6b0e6b75-410f-42a3-8921-bcc4589b2d2a][Collecting information only feels like progress]].
We never used them.
It is just the same as window shopping for that wanted thing except we bought it and just an arm's length away when we want to use it.

That doesn't mean we should understand every bit of information coming our way.
In the end, [[id:864a9242-eb10-44ad-81b7-c237276523e5][We know more compared to what we understood]].

Update wiki on various topics This update is too large, I made too many notes on stuff. Nonetheless, it is very nice to see progress. I've made note revisions on the following topics: - Learning - Writing - Various Linux-related stuff I've yet to start learning illustration but I'll be starting tomorrow for an update how do I keep in mind with those writings. There are still a lot of things to be processed from the backlog with yet more notes on learning but I keep having those perspectives whenever I practice so ehhh... Better have those than nothing? Furthermore, I've also updated the timestamp format. It is pretty simple to update all of the notes with a couple of `sed` calls. Aaaand, I've also changed the way how the assets stored with the folders only leaving it up for the generated files instead of enforcing it on every note. I create more visual aids and managing them is a pain for each note. This restructuring frees me of that burden. 2021-07-20 11:52:43 +00:00			`#+date_modified: "2021-07-19 17:40:51 +08:00"`
