FWIW, I used to teach a diverse group of adults some very complicated stuff.

Stuff that was or could be very profitable for them.

There was always a tendency among my students for me to just cut to the chase. They wanted the solution, the answer, without having to consider the process required.

This is the world in which we live today.

A desire for solutions without context.

Just Google it.

Why bother with context when all their answers are just one or two clicks away?

A Brave New world indeed.

Yes if there is anything I've learned about the process is that taking shortcuts rarely gets you to your destination faster, if at all. Without reading the signs and making corse corrections along the way you can easily lose sight of your objective.
