What's the Schrödinger's cat equivalent in your profession/main activity? (lemmy.ml)

Needless to say i'm talking about the oversimplified and misleading version of the Schrödinger's cat paradigm, where he is both dead and alive until you watch it.

I don't have a job but i follow theater courses at an academy. And my improvisation is both funny and awful until i show it to others.

Just a guess, but I'd think that a smart person who is ESL will read more good books than their native language peers. When you write you imitate the style of the people you've read. The native speakers are reading comic books and the ESLs are reading the classics.

Again, mho

Probably a good take :)
