You Can't Learn from Scratch

In this episode, I challenge the idea that we can learn effectively by "learning from scratch." I discuss how starting with the basics runs learning in the wrong direction, and how genuine learning only happens when we embed ourselves inside real environments. I use the difference in strength between bodybuilders and naturally strong individuals to highlight the problem with trying to design our learning artificially.You can find my published book on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D84YCHL5video references for this episode- face slap: https://youtu.be/yO-lKVDFusI?feature=shared&t=2191- arm wrestling: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmhQoyOf5Cs- deadlifting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwiC60GLEfQSupport the showBecome a Member at dekyon.io/seanmcclure/nontrivialPremium members get access to the full member app. This includes data visualizations of the core concepts in each episode, a Study Space for learning fundamentals, and premium articles on Techniques and Mindsets.Members can also save personal notes, explore episode summaries and transcripts, search across episodes, track watch history and progress, and participate in the community forum.
