It is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself Maybe if the universe won't bend and deliver us we want/deserve, we need to bend and accept a form of satisficing[1]. Eg, if I want an instructor to learn math (optimal case) but one is not available, then I go buy a stack of books, find some relevant Youtube videos, and find a reddit forum or something similar to ask questions, and dive in and do my best. Is that "as good"? No. But is it "good enough"? Well, maybe. That's obviously a personal choice, but my argument is only that for some people the answer is "yes, teaching yourself from books and other resources is a satisficing choice given the absence of other preferred choices."
