Do humans actually want truth?
Or do we only want comforting stories that help us survive?
Because when truth threatens identity, religion, politics, ego, relationships, or purpose… most people seem to reject it instantly.
So I genuinely wonder: Is the search for truth natural to humans, or is comfort our real nature?
I’m a 2nd year BS AI student, but honestly I still feel very confused and lost.
Most of what we study in university is theory and very basic stuff. I try to study on my own too, but I still feel like I’m not learning anything practical or real-world related to AI.
I really want to learn deep and practical things, not just surface-level concepts. Right now I feel like I’m learning everything bit by bit, but nothing feels truly interesting, meaningful, or hands-on.
I’m very eager to learn and willing to give my 100% effort, but I don’t know the right direction to follow.
I want to grow in AI, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning seriously, but I come from a non-tech background, so sometimes everything feels overwhelming.
What skills should I focus on first? What roadmap would you recommend for someone like me? How can I start building real practical skills in AI/ML?
I would really appreciate guidance from people who were once in the same situation. Thank you.
