I’m going to write about the following paragraph:

> [@Cycle Between Learning Critical Fallibilism and Its Prerequisites](https://discuss.criticalfallibilism.com/t/cycle-between-learning-critical-fallibilism-and-its-prerequisites/1747/1):
>
> There are many different prerequisite skills which could be scored separately. You might be better at math than language or vice versa. Within math, you might be better at arithmetic than algebra. Within arithmetic, you might be better at subtraction than exponentiation. When you’re learning CF, you have to pay attention to how hard different things are – how slow your progress is, how many errors you make, how confusing it is – to judge how good your prerequisites are for that part of CF. You can also directly evaluate your knowledge of a particular prerequisite, e.g. by doing practice activities then checking your work for errors.

I think this paragraph is about how different the skill levels are in prerequisites. You can zoom in to compare parts of a skill. Like, if you zoom into CF prerequisites, you can find that you’re better at Math than language. That would have a higher score. Also, the paragraph talks about some other things…I don’t really remember but I think there’s a reason to bring up prerequisites skill levels.

Here’s the first sentence:

> [@Cycle Between Learning Critical Fallibilism and Its Prerequisites](https://discuss.criticalfallibilism.com/t/cycle-between-learning-critical-fallibilism-and-its-prerequisites/1747/1):
>
> There are many different prerequisite skills which could be scored separately.

Ok, that’s the same as parts of CF skill being scored separately. There’s different perquisite skills which could be scored separately. You wouldn’t score English and Math as the same points if you’re doing much better in Math. English would be scored lower. I think the scoring here would be based out of how much current knowledge you got from the subject.

Can you score life skills? I think you can. People got knowledge there too. You could learn it at 100 cuz that’s the best current knowledge there is. It seems tho that life skills are more inexplicit than intellectual prerequisites. I think that’s cuz there isn’t whole textbooks on life skills no? Like parts of math are broken down so much that it’s easier to learn. Idk.
