And yes, I can “relate”. In fact, since I listened to it yesterday, I have not been able to gather the strength to focus on studying. I expect this to pass until tomorrow, but I do wonder what your goal is here. Are you trying to spread defeatist attitudes among EAs?
No, I still work on this problem every day. My goal is to acknowledge a passing feeling many of us may have, the sometimes emotional difficulties of working hard on a big challenging problem, and the difficulty of figuring out what exactly to do. The conclusion I draw is that there is probably something I could do, despite it sometimes feeling like a big unsolvable problem. And I do it!
I’m really sorry you feel that way.
