How can you learn in the Long run without studying?

[@spiritfarer3306]

By going to school. I have all A's and always get 95 or above in tests without studying. And I can remember everything I've been taught, or almost everything.

[@theinstrumentalists7193]

+Jerry Xue If you are the average citizen, then the majority of the topics you learn in school will be forgotten; cast aside and left unused, as they are not required in your day to day activities. Consequently, mulling over that chart of words or that history textbook with the sole purpose of passing the test and then forgetting the information is what I consider studying. Learning however, is a completely different subject. Learning is discovering things you thought were impossible, actually enjoying the information you are receiving. Just like Michael said, I believe that despite what topic you hate the most, if you learn more about it, you will find things about it you enjoy, while simultaneously gathering information about the topic. When you relate information gained to something you already know, that is when you have truly learned it.

People don’t hate learning, in fact your brain loves learning, it’s just school is a place that kills the love to learn, the teachers and the curriculum are/is can be very boring and or frustrating. There need to be more people like the people at Vsause that teach the next generation.

[@shivamchouhan5077]

True

[@Homiesexual69]

Depends. I quite frequently find school as interesting depending on the subject. Maybe it's because I've met interesting teachers or because I grew up being inquisitive but some topics discussed in school actually piques my interest.

[@WyWid]

People asked what my favorite subject was each year of highschool. It depended on the teacher teaching it. My sophomore year I had a great teacher. Entertaining, understandable, reasonable, kind and respectful. Just a down to earth lady. Then the next year my least favorite subject was math because the teacher was stubborn, boring and didn’t really care about her students

I swear, Michael's train of thought is like a Wikipedia binge trapped inside a human brain. The guy goes on such fascinating tangents that always veer off course but never feel like they're even slightly random. There's always a connecting thread, a path that his discussion follows, that holds everything together. It's kind of beautiful in its own way.

[@thenextshenanigantownandth4393]

He's a polymath I think. He also is clearly gifted in abstract and paradoxical thinking. People who are gifted in abstract and paradoxical thinking have high levels of what you might call super imagination. Ability to blend existing concepts and objects into something new, this can also be useful for problem solving. Like taking an object and connecting it to a unrelated idea based on a train of thought, just based on details of the object.Creating a new idea. They're not looking at the object, but what makes the object up and how it exists within space and time, how it will exist in the past and future. How it relates to seemingly unrelated objects and the bigger picture. what it's like on the smallest of details. Those details will take you to a new insight almost completely void of relationship to the starting point. what is inside the object and how it could be interacting with invisible forces. ect. Think of micheal Feraday or even Einstein. Research suggests people with these abilities have more connections between both sides of their right and left brain, but also a higher volume of grey matter. Not sure about his IQ, maybe 118 ? IQs aren't all that important imo. I was visited by a man who seeks out gifted children when I was a wee spriggin and he said I was gifted in abstract and paradoxical thinking. I'm not saying this to brag or anything. I do exactly what micheal does in the video. so I know he's at least semi gifted at this thought process. People who think like this make great scientists or writers, or science educators ;) .So you could say Micheal was destined for what he does.

The reason I don’t engage with the content in my own country because it’s all about nonsense entertainment and don’t really go in depth or have that curiousity attitude. This is what I want to do and bring myself into, learning while also having a meaningful and open-minded experience. I hope I could meet people like this in the future.

Guy if you know the youtube channel idubbbz you would get it, because in one of his vids he gets michael (vsauce) and gets his spit to put it in a "human cake" so michael starts asking him if he would like some spit facts , btw the name of the vid is : human cake 3 i think

[@guy_th18]

Ice And Fire I saw that, but I started thinking that the whole spit facts might have other implications, like, that people were critiquing that he was just spewing or spitting facts (which isn't really that true)

[@ihsan75y]

[@Eggplanet96]

Wow what a great crowd. Usually they're emotionless unresponsive bodies at most Ted Talks

[@aceof8S]

I was thinking something similar!

[@aceof8S]

The crowds are usually pretty responsive; if not, then they're not completely dead. You can tell that they're soaking it all in, listening very closely to the information. You sometimes will see that in their faces, that face we make when something makes sense and reaches you, and you're like, "Wow, how is this hoomun so darn smart?!" :P

[@Denisowator]

No. Ted X talks.

[@pandaonsteroids5154]

Not true. In all Ted Talk videos I've seen people usually laugh at jokes unless they're not funny.

[@MayoMonster]

Don't they usually record it then cut out the sounds of the crowds?

[@otaku-chan4888]

This video made it astonishingly clear how good of an orator Michael is. He knows how to speak with voice modulation, and talks at just the right speed so you can hear the stress being put on important words. He makes eye contact, makes the audience laugh but doesn't have to awkwardly cut in either. Even if he steers off-topic, he always remembers that he has to bring it back. Michael is pretty much my goal when it comes to public speaking now.

[@zedio8463]

I had a private teacher teach me a crap ton of organic chemistry (which i really hate) he started of saying "ill go out of topic for 5 minutes, then ill start with it" 2 hours later he said "time is up" i was like woah! You only thought me like 10 minutes, i paid you for 2 hours!" He then explained to me how he gave me ALL igcse and a/as chemistry on the finals of grade 9! And i did feel the time pass by and i still remember it as i remember physics (my favourite). My point is, the teacher are not able to teach us because they are under qualified! I had a math teacher have ALL class (a class that hates maths, fails in math, and sees school as a playground) understand algebra deeply!

Education is vital, but so is creativity. Risk-taking is a crucial component of learning, yet as we become older, we take less risks that can advance our personal growth. When we were younger, we had no fear of making mistakes and were prepared for it. This video demonstrates how our present educational system fails to recognize the differences between all forms of learning and the significance of creativity in the advancement of human learning.
