Maybe a better question might be...How can you beat a dead horse if you don't realize it's dead yet? I'm convinced the training paradigm is one dead horse and many of us are beating the stuffing out of it...or soon will be after discovering that it is indeed dead. And we will keep whaling away rather than take the hint that beating on it won't change the outcome. Time to move on to a different approach. A new horse?

Whoa…now there’s a title begging for context. You may need to consult a 12-year old gamer to draw the parallels, but there really is one, so hang with me for a few minutes.

And yes, I learned these things at the 32nd level of Destiny during…
