AnyoneCanDoIt

I have a project exactly about this, cataloguing all the things I wish someone had told me, as a non-math person(https://github.com/EternityForest/AnyoneCanDoIt/blob/master/...). They can be understood without any real talent, and used in everyday life(If you're a programmer). But that's more like knowing a collection of calculator tricks than knowing math. I would probably have a very hard time even getting a D in high school math class. I don't think I'm much closer to the really life changing stuff, like what you need for an EE degree, or the general ability to comprehend systems with interacting parts and events that happen simultaneously, compared to an average grade schooler. Math is almost like drawing, in that people pretend you get started by following lists of steps, but each step by itself requires a mode of thought that takes

I'm just an artist/techie with no academic background in psychology(So feel free to call out any mistakes I've made!), but I have written(partly, I've been lucky enough to have a few contributors) this project(https://github.com/EternityForest/AnyoneCanDoIt) which I believe someone actually reshared on HN a while back. Basically it's an attempt to document a set of strategies for doing things in a way that does not depend on having any particular talent, in the most extreme high-process way possible, to be scaled back or ignored as needed for a situation. It's based on some pretty "pop self help book" level pseudo-research. The other part of the project is the the math eli5, an attempt to document as much of the math that is actually useful or interesting in real life but that doesn't require years of study, plus the reasons why you wo
