Learning as a kid seemed easier, but now as an adult, it feels slower and more frustrating. Whether it’s a language, coding, or an instrument—what methods or mindsets have helped you learn new skills later in life?

Neuroscience, religion, and philosophy all have different takes on free will. Some say we’re entirely shaped by our environment and biology, while others believe we make conscious choices. What’s your view? Do humans actually have control, or are we just reacting to predetermined factors?

Many philosophies suggest that struggle or pain is necessary to appreciate joy. Do you believe that happiness can exist independently of hardship, or does one need the contrast to truly understand the other? Curious to hear different takes, from both personal experiences and philosophical perspectives.
