Experience curve effects

An individual’s perception is made up of stacked lenses that alter the truth, which summarizes their own slice of reality. These lenses are experiences, and they can have major consequences to one’s quality of life. The experiences one buys and commoditize for status elude them the farthest away from the truth, and are the most spoiling for their character.

Even as graduate students, unless a grad student works on a grant with a professor, it is unlikely that it will be a familiar experience.

In my experiences, it has been students who have the appropriate…
