We all like cupcakes, right?

So you're not going to complain that I gave you a cupcake, and we're not going to,

it's just going to be a vanilla cupcake, all right?

Just you don't get to pick the flavor.

And this is my analogy.

So what do you do? You only have this one cupcake. You only have this one thing to study to help you understand how cupcakes work. So you make some observations. You taste it again. You poke it. You know, maybe you burn a little piece of it. You get out some instruments of thermometer.

You take some basic, basic data about the cupcake.

And then you start cooking.

You know, maybe you put in a bunch of random ingredients like olive oil and anchovies and ice cream and try to mix it together and make a cupcake and

horribly fail of course but over time maybe you get a little bit smarter you realize maybe

with playing with the ingredients, but also the recipe. When do you mix the ingredients together?

How much of each ingredient? How long do you cook it? How just,

et cetera, et cetera. Eventually, with enough time and enough money, enough effort, you might be
