But, I’ve attempted that and mostly bounced off it because it felt too much like work. It might be the answer is “if you want to actually learn this thing you have to do the actual grownup thing” but by default I’m orienting around something like “the thing that seemed fun except that I didn’t quite have enough resources to grok it, can I make it work better?” than “how do I seriously pursue learning math?”
(At least for the calculus videos I’m also skeptical about whether the “mastery is assumed” problem is especially bad, although I can imagine this being true for many of the more advanced stuff)
