I try to think about concepts in my own way, using just the information I already have in my head. When I hit a question I can’t answer, then I go look it up. But overall, I like to keep things as simple as possible. It’s kind of like math — we know 12/9 is the same as 4/3 it's just another fraction. It’s all about seeing the core structure. But in a lot of books, posts, or lectures, people throw in complicated words just to sound smart (that's what i think, at least for now*)— and a lot of the time, it’s unnecessary. That’s why I always try to look past the extra fluff and get to the actual idea. Why bury something simple under layers of filler?

Oh so many meanings in what you've said. Like middle managers in businesses who self preserve instead of innovate, and people who try to gatekeep their fields or workplaces behind scraps of paper delineating an exchange of currency. No true test of competence or reason. Its why I like physics so much. The words are easy, the concepts are hard, but penetrating the why and the how is always clearly, plain language.
