That much is clear, John. I’ve asked myself many times why anybody who is
interested in a subject would steadfastly steer away from learning about it
through reading or whatever. I mean, what’s the risk? Library books are
free, the time is your own. 

As you say, it’s paralysis from intimidation. It’s opening up a book,
giving it two pages, and then putting it down with the thought “I can’t do
this.” Or worse, not even opening up the book, just to avoid that feeling. 

It’s a terrible way to live, confined to the narrow space where you feel
confident in your ability, no matter how meager. It’s “I’m fascinated with
physics, but I’m only willing to think about it at the level I feel
comfortable.” 

What’s it like day to day living with no guts?
