A well-meaning manifesto on learning efficiency though one suspects the author might be trying to teach us how to learn faster so we can forget the present political circus more efficiently. After all, if active recall is the key to mastery, then surely America’s collective memory of Trump’s tenure should be razor-sharp by now. And yet, here we are.
The advice is sound: test yourself, teach others, embrace confusion. Though if we applied the Feynman Technique to Republican logic say, explaining voter suppression or climate denial to a twelve-year-old, we’d likely end up with a headache and a dictionary of euphemisms.
Still, the piece reminds us that learning requires discomfort, focus, and application. Qualities sorely lacking in the current leadership, where confusion isn’t a sign of growth it’s policy.
Ha! That’s a sharp take—and you’re right, the principles of learning hit hardest when applied outside the classroom. Discomfort, focus, and application aren’t just academic tools—they’re survival skills for thinking clearly in a world full of noise.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us mate :)
Appreciate that, mate :)
I love this. Self-control goes along way. 👊
Absolutely—self-control isn’t flashy, but it compounds into everything that matters. 👊
Really practical advice with meaningful steps. Thanks for sharing!
Glad it resonated!
