    • Pick 3-5 basic objects, arrange, draw, repeat

    • Go to a park/ museum/ mall, choose something cool

    • Draw people on the train/ bus (kinda really hard if you’re just starting)

    • Find month long drawing challenges with prompts (like Inktober)

    • Use ai or ask people around you to pick something to draw

    • Set alarm, draw the first thing you see when it goes off

    • Put your pen to paper and make it move (seriously, don’t worry about WHAT to draw, just fucking draw. No think, just draw.)

    I would recommend doing some combination of all the things people suggest. That way you can do some experimenting to find what works well for ya, and it helps prevent the burnout of doing the same thing every day. Good luck and remember to have fun!

    I got a bone to pick with your caption. Cognitive biases do not come about just because time and effort is put into something, quite often the opposite, actually.

    When time and effort is put into something, you will become better at it, then you’ll understand it more, then you’ll form opinions surrounding it, and then (usually) you’ll be able to make far more informed and rational decisions regarding the thing. In this context, someone that is distro hopping is time/ efforting their way through Linux and is squarely in the form opinions stage, which leads to them trying to figure out how to make the tool suit their needs better. It is simply a process of learning and understanding, not a breakdown of rational decision making.





  • Not contradicting anything you said or trying to make an argument, just thought it would be a cool thing to share and let people learn about.

    But if you do want some kind of argument, then I would say that while you are not wrong here, conformity has basically nothing to do with drawing reasonable conclusions and that really isn’t it’s purpose. Conformity is almost more of a defense mechanism (which can go wrong rather easily, hence this discussion) meant to keep us comfortable and prevent accidentally painting a social target on our own backs. It’s when conformity is conflated with logical reasoning that we start to get problems.
