[Community Content, Essay] Is it really quitting if you keep coming back? or Stalker Ghosting Empires

[Gryphonknight]

Taking apart or Reverse engineering

I like finding out how things work

At an early age, Grampa would bring home broken parts from the auto factory, and I would take them apart and attempt to put them back together ( give your kids real world enrichment but do not let them eat the bolts )

Protégé Effect

I like explaining things to others

Many of my relatives have been teachers, professors, defense lawyers, etc

The lesson I learned is you find out so much about a subject teaching it to others and having them question you back ( see protégé effect in notes )

Semi Retirement

Limit Breakers means my 4*+18 heroes have new uses

Note: some studies suggest that the fact that older siblings tend to have a higher IQ than their younger siblings can be attributed to the fact that the older siblings act as tutors in the family, at an age when they undergo significant cognitive development. This represents an example of the powerful influence of the protégé effect, and of its long-term benefits

I write on the forums because someone answered my questions. I write on the forums because I made some bad decisions, and peer review showed me the way to correct them. If I cannot teach you something on the forums, how can we discuss it? I write on the forums because I might think I know what I am doing, but writing them out, and civilly discussing them, can help show I am moving in the right direction, a dead end, or a wonderful unexpected discover
