"You will accumulate life debt the more you try to bullshit your way through. The embarrassment you think you will experience is nothing compared to outsized intellectual and experiential debt." This is a true gem. Thanks for reminding me of that.

I wish I understood what that sentence is supposed to mean. "Life debt"? It seems to be in code, or shorthand, or jibberish.
One can easily bullshit the first time through, but then there is no one to learn from, and you have to keep pretending you know something you don't.

Ouch. Sorry that was your experience with this post. I'm currently drafting a more detailed account with more color that you might find more up your alley.

I wish you the very best of luck.

The way I understand it, it means missed days, opportunities and chances. Every day you try to trick the system (meaning life), it teaches you by taking away a day from you. Now it can take that day in a good way (you learnt something) or it can take that day in a bad way (you wasted a valuable 24 hours of your life that you'll never get back).
