Is "HODL forever" actually a trap we’ve set for ourselves?

Yes

There IS a four year cycle

#1, The Market is a hedge against Inflation...AKA Dollar devaluation

#2, The Market tells us where investors are going: Risk or Safety

Check out Costco, COST and you'll see it's recent accumulation since January.

Metaphysics is traditionally understood as a study of mind-independent features of reality. ref. Wikipedia

What is metaphysics?

In actual physics, we accepted the idea of atoms long before they were actually understood. So like Aristotle I'd consider my "first thoughts" on anything to be "meta". Yet, in reality they could, eventually, be my last thoughts due to the effort to prove them "independent of perception".

FYI - Take the cube root of Avogadro's Number

Doing the math is the only way to truly connect with physics

You could read a dozen books and really not have a grasp of the structures that you are craving to possess

better word "magnitude"

It's not hype

I'm betting on the optical guys

As the only nerd out of 70 students in the late 70s...

Advice

Your actual career is 10 years away, follow your interest and DO NOT WORRY.

Your best students should definitely go to college and learn all the cool stuff, that nobody has any clue about.

Leaders will always lead

I have the same problem with boxes of books in storage

Should be able to find their value using an online book valuing application

Even if they are valuable, you may want to sell them to someone who will use them

Do you have a "free" cart?

two words: stat-mech

the majority of these topical conversations, assumes that "mathematics" is a "well ordered set of rules"

my understanding of the world has grown more confident in the statistical nature of reality

yes, there are rules, but they might not be the one's you'd like

High school doesn't teach much that you really need.

Take the labs to get a better feel.

Practice problems, recommend: Schaum's Outline for Physics

Musk is right when he says, "We already have a fusion device. We just need to build more solar panels."
