I think the notion that a person has a preferred learning style is ridiculous. I think it is a learned preference and a widely accepted myth, people learn in all sorts of different ways depending on the subject matter, environment, and age.

# Why do I care?

Because, I think its annoying when people bring up their learning preference to say that they are a visual learner. No one ever brings it up to say they have a tactile or auditory learning style. Why? Kinda like how (in my experience) whenever someone feels the need to unsolicitedly claim they have native american ancestry it is always Cherokee. Nothing against the Cherokee nation, its just funny to me that in my experience no one has broken those molds.

|

|
||||
The real bone I have to pick with visual learners is I feel it is used as a crutch to make some claim that they are unable to participate well in school or complete some task because it isn't catered toward their learning style. If anything, today would be the greatest time in the history of the world to be a visual learner. You can give ai somne words and it creates photo-realistic images. Youtube has more content to watch than you could ever get through in your lifetime, 1000's fold. And that's one platform. But visual learners, in my mind, have a close connotation with lazy zoomer tik-tok scrollers who can 'only learn' DIY hacks presented to them in a rapid fire, meme-spliced format. No. Thats learned through your terrible habits. Put your phone down and try to read a good book. Humans have learned through auditory and written means for thousands of years. Now you are gonna tell me there isn't a single auditory or tactile learner that brings up this inconvenience when Mr. Bones turns on Bill Nye the Science Guy?

During this hiring process, they took alot of my expertise and experience by my word, and I can only assume they did so because it seemed that my word was one they could trust. I think experience is great; lots of experience gives you the confidence to answer questions about previous problems you have solved, but experience isn't all, or possibly even, the majority of what gets you hired. I think alot of it comes down to your interpersonal skills, your charisma stat, how chisled your chin looks. Some of that you can't change easily, I think I was born with an above average emotional intelligence. But, I can't stess enough how important it is that you appear confident but not overbearing, and eager to learn and work. With everything today getting people to get as far away from socializing I R L, not having any grounded confidence in their abilities, I get the sense that a lot of qualified individuals just don't sell themselves enough. Want the job, and convince yourself you would be a great addition to the team.

If you could do a character stat reset on yourself and spec everything into one category, I think you should go all in on "Ability / Willingness to Learn". I think the sciency term is brain plasticity. But you don't need to spend 250 drupals to activate the stat reset, I think its a habit of thought, and can be a learned behavior. What do you do when you encounter a problem? Do you google it? What if google has no answers? What if the answer is "Read these 20 pages of docs"? Do you read them? Or do you say you are 'blocked' during stand up and let your team lead or that one guy that solves every mystery get to the bottom of it? If you can teach yourself something by gritting your teeth and stumbling along the way, only to realize your solution is magnitudes slower that its supposed to be, I think you are still leaps ahead of the snooty pampered rich mom's son who has kombucha and white granite counter tops at home to retreat to when he gets too 'whelmed with work. A wise woman said to me that grit is the greatest word in the english language, if you got enough of it, there isn't anything you can't do. Wise words I reckon.

I fly fairly frequently from where I live now to my home town. It's a convenient trip because there
|
||||
are two conveniently located mini-boss sized airports close to both places. The (un)fortunate thing
|
||||
about mini-boss sized airports are that they only attract the budget airline offerings. When you
|
||||
purchase flights through these low-spec'd airlines, they try and swindle you by charging you for
|
||||
making choices, like do you want to bring any bags? How about choose a seat to sit in the plane?
|
||||
|
||||
I take the high (cheap) road and choose nothing, which means they pick a seat for me. Which means I
|
||||
sit above the turbines every flight, my window looks out at the wing.
|
||||
I am lead to believe that these mid-range seats are picked
|
||||
least often, so I wonder, why are these seats of no apparent distinguishing quality least often
|
||||
selected by the 'selectors'? If you want seats closer to the front, but dont want to front the bill,
|
||||
you're in luck! Selecting the back of the plane is more expensive than not choosing any, and your
|
||||
odds have to be impossibly better you will sit closer to the front by abstaining a seat selection.
|
||||
|
||||
But I'm not complaining, nor do I wish people would have different airline decision-maing habits.
|
||||
I feel priviledged to sit in view of the wing. It moves a surprising amount during flights, so I
|
||||
could see that be troubling to the anxious or weary traveler. But to me, I find it satisfying. I
|
||||
watch the slightest shift of an aeleron send the whole plane in a calculated, soft roll. I imagine
|
||||
my arm as the wing: extending out the side of the plane. It reminds me of sticking my hand out the
|
||||
window while driving to feel the force of the wind against your palm, turning a once invisible
|
||||
everpresent essence into a carvable, ridable rush of energy. Watching the wing wobble a bit gives
|
||||
the plane a little more mortality, I feel a little more the rush and the terror of the miracle of flight.

you're in luck! Selecting the back of the plane is more expensive than not choosing a seat, and your
|
||||
odds have to be impossibly better that you'll sit closer to the front by abstaining from seat selection.
|
||||
|
||||
But I'm not complaining, nor do I wish people would have different airline decision-making habits.
|
||||
I feel privileged to sit in view of the wing: I watch it move a surprising amount during flights, which
|
||||
could very well be troubling to the anxious or weary traveler, but to me, I find it satisfying. I
|
||||
watch the slightest shift of an aeleron send the whole plane in a calculated, soft roll. I imagine
|
||||
my arm as the wing: extending out the side of the plane. It reminds me of sticking my hand out the
|
||||
window while driving to feel the force of the wind against my palm, turning a once invisible
|
||||
everpresent essence into a carvable, ridable rush of energy. Watching the wing wobble a bit gives
|
||||
the plane a little more mortality, I feel a little more of the rush and terror of flight.
|
||||
|
||||
So thank you, mini-boss C-suite for giving me the view through the window everytime I fly without a seat.
