Fuck around first. Then focus on the fundamentals. Plenty people never get started cus they think “I don’t know” or “I can’t” or “what if”. All those thoughts are fake. The only real thought you’re thinking is “I don’t want to”. Everything else is an excuse. If you wanted to bad enough you’d figure it out. Cus that’s what people do.
Most things didn’t exist before someone did something very poorly for the first time. Often times the first step to doing something right is doing something wrong. Furthermore, sometimes doing something without knowing "how” things are done traditionally can lead to new conventions. Sometimes the way things “are done” isn’t the way that works for you. Many people can be dissuaded by something as minor as that without truly investigating the discipline. It also helps you learn better because learning the fundamentals without knowing how to apply what you’re learning is ineffective. It makes more sense to flounder, figure out what you don’t know and thus need to know so that you can learn as effectively as possible. Take exactly what you need and ignore the rest of the information. Filtering!
If you don’t know what you’re doing don’t worry about looking like you know what you’re doing because you know you don’t know what you’re doing. The spice of life is experimentation. And we are really in a position as a society where innovation and experimentation are going to be paramount in the coming years. Unprecedented opportunities made possible by the development of AI and new mental frontiers yield all kinds of new fun problems that someone is going to be paid a significant portion of a country’s GDP to fix. That person could be you. IF you are bold enough to go where no man has gone before.
If you’re afraid of looking stupid you’re probably not going to be very successful in life. If you are never the first person to try something you’ll never be the first person to cross the finish line. You must develop your capacity for research, develop your capacity for learning and develop your capacity for disappointment. Many theories are thrown around as to why successful people are successful. Ideas like IQ are thrown around but truthfully it all boils down to resilience. Not grit. Resilience. Your ability to be disappointed, to be sad to be rejected all with a smile. And you already know the easiest way to do that is to
