<div>Doesn't his big interactive piece (#1110) refer to this one? {{unsigned|58.37.35.32}}<br />
:It does. There's a note somewhere in that explanation page referring back to this page.

This comic under my interpretation is that like the kid in the barrel his mind was wandering at the time of his drawing of the comic and it reprsents his wandering mind as he may be bored and it is in the middle of nowhere but at the same time it is somewhere. but its waiting to get someplace (an island?)<br />

:when ever I feel isolated from society, I like to contemplate the ladders I could build for them to see things from my perspective. We will never manage to teach kids how to exist in chaos, we need to outsource our thinking, share ideas, to see new options for each of the impossible answers. Sic-if is here to stay, because it's the only hint we will get of the perfection they want us to achieve. Anything less then the total perfection is unsustainable. - [[Special:Contributions/98.211.199.84|98.211.199.84]] 14:22, 3 March 2013 (UTC)</div>98.211.199.84https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php?title=Talk:118:_50_Ways&diff=29549Talk:118: 50 Ways2013-03-03T13:59:42Z<p>98.211.199.84: </p>

<div>A personal lesson I've learned long ago that I would like to share with Mr. XKCD and others: Don't worry about things you don't have direct control over, try to help people that do have control better understand the challenge they are facing and you will feel great with every accomplishment (similar to remembering to bring that reusable bag of yours to the store). If you don't know anyone with control, but feel you have a lesson to teach about the universe around us, put it in fiction form for future generations to learn from, and we will reward you with riches for it. - e-inspired [[Special:Contributions/98.211.199.84|98.211.199.84]] 15:51, 27 February 2013 (UTC)</div>98.211.199.84https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php?title=Talk:990:_Plastic_Bags&diff=29151Talk:990: Plastic Bags2013-02-27T15:45:38Z<p>98.211.199.84: XKCD's unexpected life's lessons.</p>

<div>This time the lesson I learned came mostly from alt-text. The high we can experience from helping the world can last for days indeed, way better and healthier then drugs, want to try it? - e-inspired [[Special:Contributions/98.211.199.84|98.211.199.84]] 15:45, 27 February 2013 (UTC)</div>98.211.199.84https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php?title=Talk:994:_Advent_Calendar&diff=29150Talk:994: Advent Calendar2013-02-27T15:42:28Z<p>98.211.199.84: XKCD's unexpected life's lessons.</p>

<div>To me this is a lesson in moderation, too much chocolate is not only a problem on x-mas, but also on Halloween. If we don't learn moderation, we will wake up on 25th with huge belly and type-1 diabetes. Enjoy responsibly (which is true for every good thing and state altering drugs). - e-inspired [[Special:Contributions/98.211.199.84|98.211.199.84]] 15:42, 27 February 2013 (UTC)</div>98.211.199.84https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php?title=Talk:995:_Coinstar&diff=29147Talk:995: Coinstar2013-02-27T15:36:02Z<p>98.211.199.84: XKCD's unexpected life's lessons.</p>

<div>To me as electrical engineer it's a lesson that no technology is perfect, but we are working on it.

<div>To me this is a lesson that without romance in our lives, our love may as well degrade to sex in a dungeon. Perhaps it's a sign that there is not enough bands singing about romance these days, just tits, ass and more tits and ass. - e-inspired [[Special:Contributions/98.211.199.84|98.211.199.84]] 15:32, 27 February 2013 (UTC)</div>98.211.199.84https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php?title=Talk:999:_Cougars&diff=29144Talk:999: Cougars2013-02-27T15:26:09Z<p>98.211.199.84: XKCD's unexpected life's lessons.</p>

<div>Lesson on sometimes flawed logic: It may seem obvious to you, but if XKCD thought about this a little more I hope he would recognize that we would make the greatest father any child could hope for. XKCD could teach his child something that no school or university ever could: to simply be inquisitive and curious about the world around him just as much as XKCD is himself, that and make sure that there are no cougars and raptors in 100 mile radius of his child. - e-inspired [[Special:Contributions/98.211.199.84|98.211.199.84]] 15:26, 27 February 2013 (UTC)</div>98.211.199.84https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php?title=Talk:1006:_Sloppier_Than_Fiction&diff=29143Talk:1006: Sloppier Than Fiction2013-02-27T15:21:07Z<p>98.211.199.84: XKCD's unexpected life's lessons.</p>

<div>To me this is the lesson that sometimes we miss the most obvious thing: If you felt like you needed to do something that WASN'T technically cheating, perhaps what you shared WASN'T technically love. So if it was not love our beerded (at least I think it's a beer in his cup) friend lost, what was it? - e-inspired [[Special:Contributions/98.211.199.84|98.211.199.84]] 15:21, 27 February 2013 (UTC)</div>98.211.199.84https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php?title=Talk:1007:_Sustainable&diff=29142Talk:1007: Sustainable2013-02-27T15:15:47Z<p>98.211.199.84: XKCD's unexpected life's lessons.</p>

<div>This is a great lesson for me that no matter what we think is occurring, it's probably wrong; that statistics themselves are unsustainable; and that only goals that matter need to be sustainable in the long term. - e-inspired<br />

<div>I found my lesson from this: jokes start off as funny due to ignorance, but even the dumbest joke can have a real world lesson. Don't take other jokes you find offensive personally, try to help them instead. - e-inspired<br />

<div>To me it seems that XKCD was reflecting on his experience as inquiring child. I'm sure when he had questions about the world around him, adults would just dismiss or ignore them. At that tender young age, even if adult can't explain something to their child, they should encourage them to learn for themselves, rather then get frustrated with constant questions. Your child will be better off if you do. - e-inspired<br />

<div>I see this comic as a reminder of two things, first that we know less about the oceans then the moon and second is that what there is always more wonderful things to learn even about something that doesn't effect your daily life. - e-inspired<br />
