[@rxw5520]

The more you learn, the more you’re aware of how many libraries can be filled with things you DONT know. Think of a balloon getting bigger and bigger as you gain knowledge, and the outer rim of the balloon is where you can see that more knowledge (that you don’t have) lies beyond. The more knowledge you have, the more you know you don’t have. That’s why men who seek it for decades eventually realize they don’t really know much at all. And people with virtually no knowledge think they know so much. Their balloon is an inch wide, and they are unaware of all the knowledge out there.

The best method of "imaginary practice" is to watch an expert do something and predict what they're gonna do next. Funnily enough, I learned this method from a rank 1 Teamfight Tactics player. Their advice was to download the VODs of the best players, turn the audio off, and constantly pause the gameplay trying to accurately predict all of that players decisions. When you're incorrect, you take time to think about why they did something different. Similarly, when I got trained on my current job I was able to learn the job way faster than anyone had ever learned it because I poured every ounce of my focus into watching them closely and trying to predict in my mind every move they were gonna make. This is also how I train people at the job, I have them watch me for a bit but then I have them tell me what my next action is every step of the way. You can technically get someone up to speed faster by letting them learn hands on, but I operate heavy industrial machinery that can injure people and cause thousands in damages very quickly if you don't know what you're doing.

I think this is why they always told us to attempt solving math questions before reading the answer, brain goes through completely different path of thoughts when finding a solution instead of just looking at it.

[@user-np4si6uo5r]

I fully believe that someone who is not smart can become smart. In 3rd grade I saw tons of smart kids way beyond my level in all subjects. I felt irrelevant and stupid. Then, I did not try to do any work and try to learn anything. I did not put my focus into work. I was never taught that I had the power to and that 99% of the task is believing you can do it. I was invited to countless math tutoring, English tutoring, and more. However, my horrible grades all changed in 5th grade when my teacher liked me, and she said that I don’t give myself enough credit. She said I acted like I was dumb, but I just needed to start fresh on middle school and work hard. That’s what I did. I started getting all A+ and maintained it throughout high school. I am a senior now, the lead of a world-renowned robotics team, and I am obsessed with getting to CalTech to study geology and physics. I currently have a 4.7 weighted GPA. I hope this comment helped someone, even though nobody will probably see it. (Edit: Sorry this is late… but I did not get accepted to CalTech, but instead I got into Berkeley and Stanford which is very exciting)

Read the book “how to read a book” by Mortimer Adler. This is not a joke. It’s got a lot of this insight in it and it’s pretty easy to grasp. Shows you why and how to read to actually understand rather than just to gain information. It changed the way that I read because I had become accustomed to trying to read quick and get as much information as quickly as possible from my undergrad. Now I’m a much slower but effective reader. At least in my own opinion.

This is an excellent video. That is literally how I improved my understanding in quadratics. One day, I just decided to grab a piece of paper and pencil and play around with quadratics functions to the point I got good at them. And what’s even interesting is the new knowledge I acquired in quadratics is that it also implies in one way or the other in rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions. I almost got stuck in conic sections, but I tried the same approach as with the quadratics, and the conflict no longer became an obstacle. The key word is “lifestyle.” If you don’t have a reason to apply your knowledge on your own out of your own interest, your brain would consider the information as “useless” knowledge and forgets it. It’s like strength training (in my case gym) where your main focus should not be in getting muscle or strength, but the utter enjoyment of the stress applied to your muscles when lifting heavy circles around. A lifestyle is what makes a difference in success in personal fitness, in athletic sports, in art, in gaining knowledge, in math, in science, in language learning, and other desired skills.

[@rouged3392]

So you're a fast learner.

[@rouged3392]

What do you mean by applying knowledge, and how can I get better at maths as a slow learner?

[@kingjimmycraftofcalderonia2017]

@@rouged3392 Basically, what I mean “apply knowledge” is basically find time in your free time to actually “use” what you “learned” about a topic. Essentially, this is practice. In other words, in order to improve your skills, you need to make it a “lifestyle.” It’s kinda like a hobby in a sense. Yes, this means you have to genuinely enjoy, or have interests, in the topic you are learning. What kind of athlete would an athlete be if they would have never played a sport before? What kind of gamer would that gamer be if they never played or have heard of any video games in his entire life? What makes an athlete an athlete is that that person dedicated their life in applying the techniques they learned for their respective sport consistently in their free time, working up their way in perfecting their skills each time. A gamer would need to play consistently for hours, days, and even years of playing their favorite video game in order to transition from noob to pro. Here’s a thought experiment: how do you play the piano (any instrument works, though I’m gonna keep it simple). If you do, great; if not, that’s also great. Alright, most would agree that you have to learn to play the piano to actually use it in the first place. So you gotta take lesson (doesn’t matter if your self taught, you studied in school, or you were tutored). Now you learned the techniques to play the piano: the scales and modes, the chords and arpeggios, and the ergonomics and posture-let’s say that after learning you spend the rest of your time watching tv, playing video games, and using social media: anything other than piano. Will you improve your piano skills? No! Why? Cause you’re not practicing. What will happen then? Well, since you are not applying what you learned in your free time, your brain says “Hey, this information is pretty useless, why bother having this memory”: then you forget what you learned. So, let’s say you decided to practice what you learned about piano, you’re brain will consider that knowledge as “useful” and tries to retain it as long as you need it. Once you practice for years, like any practice that requires repetitive muscle movement, you will reach a phenomena called “muscle memory” where you don’t have to “think” the action to perform it. (This is the reason how you can write on pen and paper. If you been writing since elementary, by now, you’re not thinking “I need to make a circle with a small opening” to write a letter “c,” you just simply write it with the word or sentence that happens to have a “c” in your head). *note: muscle memory is only applied to practice of repetitive muscle motion: such as clear writing, art, piano, sports, gaming, etc.

[@kingjimmycraftofcalderonia2017]

@@rouged3392 So, how do you apply the piano thought experiment to math? If you’re in school or homeschooled, then you gotta learn math first! If you’re keeping notes (this is something I even struggle sometimes), be sure to make it simple enough that you can understand when you come home, but not too simple to the point you miss information: it’s a balance. If you manage to make your notes that you can understand what you learned if you forget them and come back a whole month or two (or maybe till your next test exam 😉), and you say “hey, I can understand this”: then pat yourself in the back. It’s okay to not have everything right, what your goal is is to have the big picture or the main idea straight: then you can refine that picture with the small details afterwards. Sometimes, you need to divide the big picture into blocks and build a wall with them blocks so that you can see the scale of your big picture, and later refine it with details to have a more intimate and complex understanding. Once you have learned your math of the day, dedicate your free time to practicing what you learned in mathematics (no, homework normally doesn’t count since it is graded, womp womp). If your teacher provides ungraded practice problems, use them! And then, take notes of whatever mistakes you made while solving the practice problems: maybe you got the Order of Operations wrong, maybe you factored a polynomial wrong, or maybe by mistake, you said that 15 + 18 = 32. Whatever mistakes you make, be sure that you are aware of your mistakes, know how to correct it, and actually attempt to correct it. This is done by using the knowledge you learned. Don’t just wing it and say “I’ll get better eventually” if you have no clue how to get better in the first place. If you don’t have practice problems, try some other methods that encourage you to be mathin’ in your free time. Try grabbing a piece of paper and create your own word problems, trying to apply what you learned. Or try to just play around with the order of operations and have fun experimenting what you learn: just keep your pen in you hands and prepare to calculate instead of turning on your playstation. The most important thing to know is that you just need to have patience. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Mistakes are good, for they are gold. But wait! If you struck gold, would it make sense to leave the gold there and wait for it to somehow fly into your pocket to have it. No! You gotta go and get the gold yourself to have the gold! Mistakes are useless if you ignore them or worse devalue them; mistakes are gold if you acknowledge them and truly value them. This is the reason why I used the gym example in my primary comment. A lot of people make the mistake of being impatient (due to all the “Get Abs in a Month” videos) and hope to become like their favorite celebrity within a short time: when that doesn’t happen, they just give up. In order to truly appreciate health and fitness (especially for the long term, as a gym bro for 2 years and going), your main focus should not be what you want to see yourself tomorrow, it is what you can do today. If you don’t enjoy the race, you won’t get the prize. If the video game your playing boring, should you expect yourself to beat the final boss? No, you would probably give up and play something more of your taste. My point? When learning and practicing, be sure to sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. A person who really enjoys mathematics would spend their free time on maths: playing around with pen and paper, watching math related videos and memes on KZbin and Social Media, and probably know a handful of famous mathematicians. An athlete would have a great time playing sports with their friends or colleagues, keep stats of their favorite athlete, and practice their sport at home. A guitarist would practice guitar on their free time, jamming with friends, and watch guitar related content. Do gamers only play video games? I’m sure there are gamers that also read gaming magazines, watch gaming videos on KZbin, and invite some friends to the chat. Again, be sure to have fun 👍

[@rouged3392]

@@kingjimmycraftofcalderonia2017 Thank you so much, my only problem is I don't do practicing a lot; for I do not have a curiosity for Mathematics... but that's just me victimizing myself. I'll make sure to practice every day, even the past topics too. Someday I'll forget how I'm supposed to do these past questions, but I promise to not let that happen and refine my memory. I'm grateful for you taking your time to help a random student like me but the only one problem I have is, lack of discipline, concentration and motivation sometimes.

Here is one that I discovered in school and it really helped me. I was trying to solve a very hard problem, and I thought to myself, "How would I solve this if I were really smart?" Damn. It worked! My mind shifted into a whole different way of thinking. I calmed down. I started thinking deeply about the problem. I started to challenge my initial answers, probing for weaknesses in order to improve my solution. With one thought, I went from an average student to a guy who got an advanced degree from a very good university and a person who went on to earn a bunch of patents and publish a fair number of peer-reviewed papers. To this day, I think I am just a guy born with an average brain who one day had a single thought that changed his life.

After you read, write down a few main ideas (forcing you to recall what's important and think about the information) 3. Write down thoughts and questions you had while reading chapter Bonus if you need to be tested on topic: Come back a few days later to write out everything you remember and identify weak spots. Also make flashcards for small details.

[@ChthonicEsotericism]

very good advice, i'd like to add another thing that i like to do that i think people might find interesting: Think about what you're reading and connect it all. Most (good) books aren't written in a non-continuous way where it's impossible to connect the pieces as you go. A good author will make sure to line up the info so that the reader can connect the points and, by the end, allow the reader to plot out an entire web of ideas, thoughts, and reasons. I find that I remember information way easier when I actually connect it all so that it feels more like a cause-and-effect deal rather than a bunch of random facts scattered on a page. Also, try to "dumb down" the information if you can. It's sort of related to summarizing the main points, but this is more like an explanation that someone outside of the field can somewhat understand. Using analogies between common objects and complicated systems can really help visualize something that, in reality, is much more complex. This helps me memorize/ conceptualize stuff a little easier, but it does require a higher level of understanding of a subject in order to essentialize it. im a cellular + molecular bio major, so it's vital that im able to connect an immensely complicated system and dumb it down somewhat so that it fits in my little brain lol

Yea number two especially. Whenever I'm done reading I lay down and close my eyes and just try to recall much of what I had just read as possible and then do it again right before reading on the next day. Really solidifies the information in my head which in turn allows me to then play with ideas the book presents in a much more effective way.

I'm currently in school for psychology and find this technique very useful. It really is about convincing your brain that the information is worth keeping. I'm horrible at recalling dates or names, but I can talk for hours about concepts because when I learn something I start to imagine a situation where it is useful. I will often explain the information back to myself like I'm teaching it to someone. Our bodies are truly utilitarian. Even your faults have a use and a purpose. Your body doesn't care about your six-pack or if you're a world-class mathematician. Like he said about the reason behind tests, you need to create a purpose or desire for it.

I thought this was just a regular goofy video with common advice but you're actually saying top tier stuff, doing practice tests and practicing what you learn is the key to becoming smarter

[@oaqutc]

tbh getting* questions correct on MCQs and FRQs is only one form of demonstrating knowledge. In reality by doing that you don't get "smarter", you get better at dealing with those problems. imo true understanding of something is the ability to be able to explain it to another person and let that person understand the concept fully. I don't deny the fact that practice is needed, but the way most things are taught today just ruins the chance for people to actually grasp the concepts. MCQs have 4 options and only 1 of them is correct, but generally people never wonder the reasons why the others are wrong. This forms a general trend of diminishing the ability to question the world and discover more on their own and ppl end up being memory machines. if u actually want to know more things in any subject and learn more knowledge, just ask more questions to yourself and question the concept. why is the concept like this? what is the intuitive idea behind this concept? you would truly understand a concept if you always try to disprove it with your own logic, and trust me this deeply enhances your understanding and you wouldn't forget it in a long period of time. nothing would make you smart more effectively than ur genuine interest in discovering something in the world. and manage your time effectively and don't waste time contemplating life when life is passing by you every moment btw I'm Chinese so my English's crappy

Honestly, Geography. If you wanna get smart, Geography is a very great starting place. It's very good to know the world around you and your place in it. To the point where people use it as a bellwether for if someone is smart or not - ever hear someone say "Americans couldn't point to that on a map"? Well why not learn to point to it on a map. Start simple, what countries do you know, and where are they in the world (just by look of the map, you don't have to describe it yet). Then, describe it. What continents are there, what countries border the countries you know, what cities do you know that are in those countries and are they the capital. You just got an understanding of Geography that surpasses 50% of people. Good Job. Now add more countries. Jetpunk says there are 196 total, and that's a good place to start (the actual answer is more complicated, for one, and Jetpunk has a nice popular Countries of the World map quiz for you to practice on). Learn 5 more. Learn 10 more. Learn the ones with short names, or the acronyms, or the long names you'll struggle to remember, or the ones you think you should know but you just keep forgetting. Eventually, you'll be able to rattle off 193 countries, and there'll be those last few that just will not stick in your brain. Keep going. Don't stop. And one day, you'll finally get to the top of the mountain. And well done, you just got an understanding of Geography that beats 80% of people. Any further is up to you. You can do capitals, flags. All the countries in one continent. The states of America, the counties of England, the provinces of Canada, the oblasts of Russia. Biggest cities, tallest mountains, longest rivers. You could even go through history looking for countries which don't exist any more. The difference now is, you know you can learn anything, because you just cracked Geography. Your school lied to you, you never needed to know about erosion and weather patterns and sedimentary rocks. Just good old political Geography, where do we draw the lines on the map and what colour do we shade it in. At the end of the day, you don't need to feel like you should be smarter. But I find that most people think getting smarter requires subjecting yourself to boring schoolwork and you could never do it, because you don't have the patience or care about the topic. And that makes me sad, because I also see people who in spite of that, just give it a go and try to learn something new whenever they can, and the amount of respect you will get for that is such a positive thing to strive for. You can do it! I believe in you!

[@user-vp9jq3hm7z]

I grew up with a world map chart in my grandma's kitchen and the knowledge has never left me. I find myself randomly knowing country locations and flags without prior knowledge of studying them at all. This is from seeing that map everyday at breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I hated myself my whole school life bc teachers and students convinced me I was dumb. That blocked me from ever learning really because I didn’t think I’d ever come close to being smart. Not to mention I was constantly in fight of flight mode my whole childhood because I was experiencing constant stress and trauma which made it impossible for me to create an environment where I could concentrate on anything other than what was going on privately. I moved out at 18, fell into a deep depression, my occasional weed smoking turned into weed becoming my personality and only coping mechanism Blabla. eventually got diagnosed with cptsd, adhd and chronic depression. That was also the first time iml that I was free from this daily violence and yelling and I had a lot of time to reflect and think about my life up until I moved out. I got into reading because I knew I didn’t wanna be fucked up forever so my initial motivation to get into it was really to help myself mentally, becoming smarter was a byproduct and noticing the recognition I got from ppl obv pushed my ego ngl but I eventually started to catch up on basic knowledge on pretty much anything because books became my escapism (along with weed).

Great job. That’s very encouraging. I’m kinda in the opposite boat.

I also relate to being in fight or flight my whole life except my survival instinct was freeze. So, majority of my life, I’ve been in a very dissociative state. Because of this, I feel I missed out of key parts of development--socialization, comprehension, emotional expression, play, etc. Not to mention, I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult.

I also recently got into learning ‘how to learn’ because I wanted to Ace a test. I would go on KZbin or anything and look up people who got A’s in School. Watch what they did for guidance to achieve the same results. That is where I found out about Active Recall and Spaced Repetition.

Some key advice that’s always stuck with me is never to worry about being wrong. We have a tendency to get defensive as soon as someone counters our opinion or calls us out for reciting incorrect information. It’s hard, but try not to let yourself do this! If you’ve gotten something wrong, accept the new information graciously and don’t beat yourself up. Clever people get things wrong all the time. You might not have come across this topic before, or you’ve misremembered (brains are fallible), or you’ve drawn the wrong conclusions. Don’t worry - now you’ve learnt something new (and as someone trying to improve themselves, that’s useful!) If someone disagrees with you, ask why. Chances are, they might know something you don’t, or vice versa. Perhaps you have different backgrounds and have approached the topic in different ways. By discussing this rather than shutting down, you’ll likely both learn something new (and again, that’s the goal here!)

Here's the greatest tip I can offer you from my own experience: learn to differentiate good stuff from bad stuff. And work on the good stuff more times than the bad. Instead of reading the first search result to a subject, browse around the internet to see what had been told about the book. And then read it. Or if it's music, listen to it. Understand why it is good (or bad) and what makes the case so. If you do this consistently, you'll gain a skill what most people forego and think is inessential, and that is the capacity to judge the quality of the particulars we consume.

I recommend you all guys to learn languages through comprehesible input and immersion... I actually learn English being a Spanish speaker with this method and the process was pretty fun, u don't have to study just a buch of grammar rules and stuff, so it makes it easier. Also it is a pretty useful skill either you go to the country where the language is spoken or to get more job opportunities.

[@Blinde4]

Thing is, you don't have to know a lot of words, for example in English natives speakers usually use around 3000 different words in daily conversational speech, so if you learn those 3000 you already know most of the language. I reccomend you Anki flashcards for vocabulary. There's a lot of decks of different languages and you can learn all that for free, in your house, and you don't have to spend a crazy amount of time on it.

This is such a good video. Everyday after i do my morning routine i always open a book , read a page and try to implement what i learned throughout the day . This is exactly that . Great work spreading knowledge .

[@richtigmann1]

all the stuff in this video is completely right, reading textbooks and then implementing and practising is THE way to go. All the points about choosing what to learn and being humble are all really good tips too. Just a great video.

This channel is an excellent example on how to grow on KZbin. Make Quality shit people care about, doesn't have to be perfect. But it does have to resonate and be humorous. Phenomenal work.

From the bottom of my heart you're a real one, tossing down a knowledge you can practice, altho it is logical it is appreciate it to be reminded if i would have to say it louder in real life i'll even never say a single thing.. until i prove that it is working for me i'll say thank you irl

Thank you for the video ❤

[@Luka87326]

This really good. It is exactly tailored to me with real facts and concepts like visualization… Funny and made for dumb people like me. So appreciate

Big thing here. Learn, practice and make sure your brain maps information as “useful”. One thing not mentioned, enjoy learning. It transmutes your feeling of overwhelming to passion which motivates and makes you think more clearly. School doesn’t teach you how to love learning. It teaches you how to cope with the dread of it so you can be a good employee.
