Simple Explanations for Digital Beginners: The Precision Principle
Precision
Our third value could have been described as fairness or equality, since our aim was to teach in a way that doesn’t discriminate based on someone’s current level of knowledge. We chose “Precision” in the end, because we found it communicates that idea most clearly and is easier for many to grasp, which is our goal across the board. Therefore, we are committed to explaining things simply, even if it feels a bit too precise or elementary sometimes, because we know that many, many people do appreciate that, regardless of prior education or age. We do encourage people to learn from the free resources accessible online or take other more specialized courses in their chosen direction afterwards. What we want to give with Lynnaider for them is a clean place to start.
In our teaching, we are attempting to explain the context of online entrepreneurship and the basics of the ten online income techniques with the utmost respect to those who may, in one way or another, feel left behind in the digitalization of the world or to those who just want to have a fresh start at understanding this space. There is a significant number of individuals who are in such shoes, far more than those who are “up-to-speed”.7 Millions of young people too who are apprehensive about dipping their fingertips into the digital phenomenon. It is more than a mere generational divide.
Our theory lesson on Legal & Safety has been included in this book for this specific reason. And this is also why we decided to publish our book in black and white (with a touch of red) to assist those who prefer to have something tangible with them from the start. Yes, it will be unusual for some readers to see things spelled out in such an evident manner, but that will only mean that we reached our goal, as we are exactly in a period of digital acceleration in which it is not only acceptable but also essential to provide explicit, simple, and foundational explanations. We have intentionally designed our teaching in a more traditional, chronological, and list-based manner for this reason, and we still can only hope that it’s clear enough for most.
“Mountains to molehills”
— Lynnaider’s motto, signifying our aim to explain things truly simply
Frequently asked questions
Why does Lynnaider explain things so simply?
Because a significant number of people feel left behind by the pace of digitalisation, and simple foundational explanations are what allow those people to start. The teaching is built for readers who need a clean place to begin, not a fast track for the already-fluent.
What does mountains to molehills mean?
It is Lynnaider’s motto, and it captures the aim of the teaching: to take subjects that look overwhelming from outside and break them down into small, manageable pieces so beginners can genuinely start.
Is this book only for older readers?
No. Millions of younger people are also cautious about entering the digital space. This is more than a generational divide. Lynnaider is written for anyone who wants a plain, foundational explanation, regardless of age.
Why is the book printed in black and white?
To assist readers who prefer to have something tangible from the start. The design is intentionally traditional and calm, so that the substance of the teaching remains front and centre.
Should I take other courses in addition to Lynnaider?
Yes, that is encouraged. Lynnaider is meant to be a clean starting point. Once you know the direction you want to go, more specialised free resources or paid courses can build on top of the foundation you have set.
Is it condescending to explain things this simply?
No. Many people appreciate plain explanations regardless of prior education. Precision is not the same as talking down. It is choosing clarity even when clarity is unfashionable.
