define what constitutes the material of your confusion. then we can talk.

i love the wow analogy. i used to be a hardcore wow addict when i was about 15 and 16 (6-7 years ago). for subsequent years after quitting for years, i viewed the (literally) year of days played as an enormous waste of time and could have been better spent doing so many other things. about a year ago i realized that's a poor way to look at it.

quantitatively analyzing every aspect of such a dynamic video game and disregarding absolutely everything else (including personal well-being, social life, academic goals, etc), it gave me a sense of what it means to figure out things. when playing the game i had a very tight-nit schedule that would squeeze every last tiny little bit of productivity and efficiency out of every action i performed. reading guides after guides, raping the auction house like i was getting rich IRL for it, testing potential talent specs and measuring average dps, among other trivial aspects of the game actually taught me a lot about life once i had a new perspective about it.

just apply those same concepts of maximizing productivity and efficiency to your daily life and you will be a god damn rockstar at life. you'll be the best player of life in your area without a doubt (to put it in a nerdy way). such things like realizing what opportunity cost is and how to manipulate it, have a set list of priorities that you carry out with extreme precision, manage money like a jew, make a 4.0 (for a multitude of reasons that i won't list here), etc etc the list is endless.

anyway, i know i'm rambling. but op, just live your life like you're playing a video game. when you're playing a game online, are you okay with being 5th, 10th, or last over and over again? probably not. you bust your balls to get 1st every round. why aren't you living your life like this?

Okey, so I hear you scientists are looking for some Grand Unified Theory that explains how relativity, quantum mechanics, and everything else works together.

Here's what you do:
Write a computer program that randomly throws equations together from physics things like force, mass, and the speed of light. Then due to the Infinite monkey theorem you'll eventually have the grand unified theory.

Thank me later.
