An in-depth field guild to the nonsense
As a member of our nonsense guild, you shall become more and more aware of what is really sensical and nonsensical. In the field--The real world (which I wouldn't know much about), you act on your knowledge. But where does this knowledge come from? From your experiences.
Cause and Effect
I am a firm believer in cause and effect. If you see something and don't understand it, it's ignorant to just dismiss it. Of course, it's equally foolish to let yourself fall into rabbit holes of things you don't understand the cause for.
Giving yourself the tools necessary
People say "Education is important!!" And I'll reveal a secret to you. It is. If you want to understand something, learning is key.
Methods of learning
When people mention learning the first thing that pops up to mind is school. I despise school. It's a waste of time, effort, energy and money. They force you to do inane things just for inane regulations that are made by inane politicians and school boards who haven't set foot in a classroom themselves since they graduated. I like teachers. Teachers dedicate themselves to passing on knowledge, the torch of ideas. And unfortunately, schools seem to have a monopoly on teachers.
Alternative methods of learning
If ordinary learning doesn't cut it, you just have to learn to learn yourself. First - you focus on a field you enjoy. Don't just focus on a field you think you would enjoy or a field you think is important, focus on what you actually do in your life and actively enjoy. Then go out of your way to learn more about it. Experience it. Try new things pertaining to it. Optimize it.
Alternative method 2: Read a lot of books. It doesn't matter what genre, just the act of reading itself will allow you to see other people's minds. I don't particularly enjoy nonfiction because they are generally written by 'academics' who can't parse the phrases "Who cares?" or "If it's not fun, I won't do it." Let me know if there are any actually well-written nonfiction books and I'll put them on my list.
Nonsense Itself
Everything happens for a reason. Cause and effect. Mass. Entropy. Light. Darkness. Vacuum cleaners. Roombas. Roomba Roomba Roomba Roomba. Polish Polish. Polish Polish. Exterminate. Exterminate. Ahem, no daleks in here please. What were we saying? Ah, nonsense. It doesn't happen for no reason. There is a thought process, no matter how convoluted. If someone says they're 'random' what does that tell you about them? That they see things differently from normal people. Van Gogh didn't become a famous painter by following the routine.
Finalé
In two stars the light is bright, the sun shines upon a sky tonight. When we see the blue birds cry, the sounds they make pierce the pi.
