I wish it was legal for me to put something like that joystick he devised on to a car. Then, at 29 I could finally learn to drive, which is something I repeatedly failed at; I can't map a wheel, a stick and three pedals (automatic is even more `magic`) to 'forward', 'back', and 'take this turn' in my head for the life of me.
I hear I'm not alone.
- ColinWright 15y agoI think you're probably suffering from the same problem I had when learning languages: you're being taught by someone whose teaching technique is optimised for "normal" people. In my case, I was being taught by people who taught using techniques appropriate for an audience who thought in similar ways to them. I don't. When I finally found a technique that suited the way I think, and the things I already can do, suddenly I found I wasn't bad at languages - I was actually pretty good! But it was too late to gain real proficiency, and I no longer have the time I had in school to work on it. So I get by, rueing the lost opportunity. But I've since honed my ideas into ways of teaching other stuff to people who think similarly to me, and who want to learn something quickly. I can teach you to juggle in 2 hours. Or teach you to unicycle in 2 hours. I wonder if I could teach you (the underlying rudamentary requirements of) how to drive in 2 hours. Probably not - driving is more complex than either unicycling or juggling - but I bet the same ideas would work. Wish there was a way to test this.
