> it's all telling people solutions to problems they don't have yet

This is why I think really getting started on an activity is so important. Those imagined problems become real problems.

Traditional education tries to take a stab at this with “project based learning”. But the huge problem is actually trying to apply the skills you learned in a class will probably just show you how terrible the class is. So the projects get all twisted up or dropped.
