    I agree with everything you said.

    That doesn’t mean that we can’t at least try to show people or teach them things that they didn’t have any knowledge of prior.

    All my life I have been self taught. Never had like-minded people, unfortunately. I just try to be the “older sibling” to this man, because he is where I was in life. No one took time to show him things, called him stupid, etc. He’s come a very long way, and now goes and does his own tinkering. If I just let him be, he says he wouldn’t have grown like he has.

    Sometimes people need guidance, and that’s all I strive to provide. What he does after the guidance is 100% people are people.
