That literally seems like a you problem... If you don't understand math, it's not math's responsibility to change because plenty of people do understand math.

If I understand, I think your question can be rephrased as, "Should all concepts be presented so anyone can understand it?" To that version I would say yes, but it requires the person attempting understanding to have sufficient background.

I also am glad you got the support. I'm constantly reminded of a friend in college who was going through an electrical engineering undergrad with me. She got all the material so easily and literally dragged me through the classes. I wouldn't have passed some key topics without her help. Fast forward a few years and I'm getting my PhD and I decide to see what she is up to: she ended up quitting her PhD program because of the insane abuse and misogyny she experienced in the department and instead changed to a masters in music. This was a woman who could easily have made field changing discoveries but was shut down because of close minded individuals. It still makes me rage and is the reason I work so much harder now to ensure my female colleagues and employees have an equal voice at the table.

Unfortunately I've seen men tend to dominate the conversation in women dominated fields as well, but only if they are misogynistic. I work a lot in the fiber arts industry and more often than not it is assumed I don't know anything because I am a man and humble, but I quickly prove my worth with my 20 years experience and it's wonderfully collaborative. Then I see so many men come in and say, "Look I knit a sweater! This is easy! Give me praise!" and weirdly enough there are enough people out there that just feed those egos. I completely blame the men in this case, but this problem wouldn't be so prevalent if everyone was just willing to shut these idiots down.

There is another comment that says this, but for clarity there is a franchise called "Total War" that has multiple editions which is exactly what you are looking for. They also have the ability to control the specific battles on the field like an RTS or you can play it with the battles operating like Civ. I personally really like the Total War Warhammer 3 edition (but I'm a Warhammer fan).

I'm intrigued but I'm super intimidated by the rhythm game sections you show. I don't want to go full Nigel but can you tell me something that will make me not have a panic attack looking at the huge filled fret board in the trailer?

This is the most nothing title for an article ever. People who have no direct connection think of something but hope something else will happen!

I'm with you there! So surprised at people being proud of having any points.

I have only tried eating the tails of fried shrimp but I have never had any stomach issues for years caused by this. It does have the bonus of grossing out my kids when I do it.

Try out things that have stimulant effects: caffeine, exercise, horror movies. Your brain is wired for crisis and you can handle things well when in crisis...the problem is it you chase that, you have a high risk of burnout if you don't plan down time.

CBD helped me for a while, tons of digital timers, to-do lists, and calendar appointments, but what really changed things for me was meds. What is your reason for wanting to avoid meds?

I am on the lowest possible dose of the only non-stimulant ADHD medication (Stratera a.k.a. Atomoxetine). All it did was tame the brain squirrels but I am still me.

Science has been under attack by corporate entities for the past few decades. This is just the end game.

Very true. I should emphasize the context that everyone's brain chemistry is different and I would not gatekeep medication for someone who needed it first. I was mostly trying to emphasize that meds without coping strategies can be problematic as well.
