{...the purpose of an education (at least a major part of it) is to gain the ability to identify the principles, not about piecing together abstract facts...}

BINGO !!! 👍👍👍

Current public and most private (mass) "education" is NOT a coincidence.

Principles are NEVER taught because no system will let you ever know the way to overthrow it ...

I really enjoy reading your essays, but please consider adding more details to them. What were the reasons you believed you couldn't take pilot lessons in Uruguay? And why that ended up being not true, and how you figured it out? The details would give your essays even more value. Keep up the great work! Thank you.

Fun pursuits, and you're gathering invaluable truths, such as "every 'expert' has a different way of doing things." That alone is profoundly empowering. There is no substitute for getting out in the world and experiencing it.

Glad to know about your experience with storm-chasing. I got to do the same when I was about your age at the University of Oklahoma in the 1980's.

Hello Maxim, I really enjoy reading about your experiences. Thank you for sharing. Regarding personal transformation and the easiest way to get there, might I suggest reading the work of Dr. Joe Dispenza? He uses the theories of brain neuroplasticity, quantum physics, and heart and brain coherence to teach you to draw the person you want to be to you with specific meditation techniques. Start with his book Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself. Best regards.
