      I wonder if John’s kids have British accents? 🤔 I’ve always wondered if kids with mixed language/accent parents (such as British & American) take one on more than the other, or if it’s a mixture of both? I guess accents aren’t really genetic - they’re more environmentally influenced, so by that token I guess it depends on which country you were raised in. 💁🏽‍♀️

    Fun fact: the effect of “I’m bad” to “Hey, I’m getting good!” to “I’m pretty good at this!” to “Oh my god, I suck at this!” is known as the Doening-Kreuger effect. It’s a psychological phenomenon where a person’s limited experience with a subject or skill leads to them overestimating their expertise, and then quickly realizing how little they truly know once they start to learn more.

      Wow. Thanks so much for explaining something that everyone already knows...
      Or... Something that everyone thinks they know, but really they don't really know how much they know about it because they don't actually know enough to know that they don't know enough...
      Y'know?
      I don't know.... Memes and pokemon and whatever other stuff the kids are into these days...

      this can also be applied to life in general as older teenagers being in the 'I'm pretty good at this!' stage before crashing into adulthood on 'oh my god, I suck at this'.

      It's just too bad he didn't keep trying after the "Oh, my God, I suck at this" phase -- because a few months after that, one stops sucking. And not sucking at viola is blissfully a billion times better than not sucking at pretty much any other instrument. I'm glad I kept at it, but TBH it was probably better for the world that he gave up hope and became one of the best comedians EVER.

    I like the 4 stages of competence model:
    1) *Unconsciously incompetent* - You know so little about the thing that you don't even know what you don't know. For example, with an instrument, you go "oh, it's just pressing down the strings in the right order, anyone can do that".
    2) *Consciously incompetent* - You start learning about the thing, and you realize just how much practice actually goes into mastering the skill. At some point in this stage, you have to make a decision if you're going to actually pursue the skill or not.
    3) *Consciously competent* - You have acquired some actual skill. It's still not entirely natural to you, but if you're playing an instrument, it sounds good. If you're driving a car, you're still very aware of how often you're checking your mirrors, still get stressed out when something different happens.
    4) *Unconsciously competent* - You've mastered the skill to the point that it has become a natural part of you. You start to forget the earlier stages of competence and how hard it actually is.

      My mother encouraged me to play clarinet, but I was terrible. My teacher encouraged me to play cello, but I was terrible. Then I discovered guitar, loved it, took lessons for seven years, and even though people said I was pretty good I realized I'd never be as good as the guys who picked it up and were playing better than me within a year. Still had fun with it now and then but gave up any ambition.
