Re:Ask HN: Wouldn't it be great to be able to follow fellow HN users?

Your point is extremely relevant, whether building the ultimate society, or simply meeting immediate needs. Thinking it through, we find that following the leader has trifle benefits but great potential for harm. Thinking it through further, we find following the leader valuable only to help build, and to never degrade, our personal autonomy.
Re:Ask HN: How do I re-learn maths as a middle-age person?

Keyword is enjoy. Kids learn fast because they enjoy. Are you enjoying the math lesson? If not, pause, try again later. Investigate for yourself, whether enjoyment makes a difference. Don't assume it does not just because nobody is emphasizing it.
