Background
"The record is primarily a response to the end of a relationship, so a lot of it is pretty reactionary. It’s trying to be introspective, but there’s always got to be a little 'fuck you' in there – or, sometimes there’s a lot."[2]
Title
Thao Nguyen explained the title of the album in an interview with KEXP: “The album is named ‘Know Better Learn Faster’ because you can't. By the time you realize you should, it's too late. And I enjoy the predicament and the totally devastating, unfunny humor of that.”[3]

gollark: I don't know what the actual figures are.
gollark: They might be fine apart from that, and you may be unreasonably cutting out a significant fraction of okay people.
gollark: (Some) people have been culturally whatevered into assuming that that sort of thing is necessary.
gollark: People do it all the time.
gollark: How would they be *lost*? Don't they have GTech™ positioning system receivers?
