Haha what

2017-11-25 21:06:09 UTC  

No big deal just looking out for you brother.

2017-11-25 21:06:19 UTC  

Oh right.

2017-11-25 21:06:22 UTC  

I see now.

2017-11-25 21:06:59 UTC  

Thanks for correcting me English isn't my first language but I'm always eager to get more proficient.

2017-11-25 21:07:34 UTC  

That's the white spirit right there! "Always eager to get more proficient." Hats off to you sir.

2017-11-25 21:12:06 UTC  

Well I'm a genius so obviously I only want to know as much as possible 😃

2017-11-25 21:16:26 UTC  

Are you familiar with meta learning? That's how I learn.

2017-11-25 21:16:47 UTC  

That's how you should be imo 😃

2017-11-25 21:20:22 UTC  

@SaintBizzle I kinda hate my job because over there there are super normies who thinks it's gonna be a hard challenge to learn how to operate a robotic welding arm where they mostly just push a few buttons and mounts the parts to be welded on and off. He says he's too old to learn.

2017-11-25 21:20:37 UTC  

But I know that's BS and only mindset.

2017-11-25 21:21:39 UTC  

And the reality is that he probably has no concept at all of the mechanics behind learning as a process.

2017-11-25 21:24:13 UTC  

One of my coworkers didn't know what USB is and he's 21, he doesn't know what a fuse is, didn't know what an honor killing was, he believes in ghosts, one older lady at work wanted me to come home to her and transfer photos from her phone to the pc.

2017-11-25 21:24:21 UTC  

Because it's somehow hard.

2017-11-25 21:24:48 UTC  

I've heard of the concept of meta-learning, but never really understood it. To me it's just a matter of discipline and figuring out how to have fun with the material.

2017-11-25 21:25:08 UTC  

Yeah, having fun accelerates learning.

2017-11-25 21:25:14 UTC  

To remember something.

2017-11-25 21:25:20 UTC  

That's hilarious. Try to think of it like this - you were like a hero in a story, and the NPCs had to come to you to get the job done!

2017-11-25 21:25:56 UTC  

"having fun accelerates learning" I believe it one hundred percent. There's nothing like frustration to shut the mind down!

2017-11-25 21:26:50 UTC  

Yeah.

2017-11-25 21:27:36 UTC  

I'm actually writing a book about metacognition it's essentially the same thing as metacognition.

2017-11-25 21:28:27 UTC  

My metacognitive ability enabled this.

2017-11-25 21:28:39 UTC  

My first ever attempt at making a sculpture in clay.

2017-11-25 21:29:14 UTC  

I could do it that well the first time because I've learned how learning works 😎

2017-11-25 21:30:09 UTC  

I'm impressed, that's really, really good!

2017-11-25 21:30:29 UTC  

How will you distribute this book? Through Amazon?

2017-11-25 21:30:49 UTC  

Then applied the same thinking to everything, taught myself math at 27 and had to attend a special needs class in math during compulsory school because of a cognitive disability that resulted in me only having 80 IQ points on the working memory which is essential for mathematical ability.

2017-11-25 21:32:33 UTC  

But thanks to metacognitive thinking and a great desire to improve and learn, always was extremely curious as well. Those things enabled me to learn the way I do.

2017-11-25 21:36:55 UTC  

So now I can calculate the geometric distance between any number of abstract concepts that might have 48 dimensions, and still you can compute the distance with more dimensions than exists in the 3d space we can percieve. Things I was told I could never do 😄

2017-11-25 21:39:04 UTC  

I'm happy I didn't listen to the teachers that told me something I was interested in learning was impossible or too hard to learn. They didn't have a concept of the mechanics behind learning what so ever.

2017-11-25 21:39:40 UTC  

I had a similar situation, although I can't do what you just mentioned

2017-11-25 21:39:53 UTC  

I was very unmotivated to excel in school

2017-11-25 21:40:00 UTC  

But I've learned some technical things on my own

2017-11-25 21:40:03 UTC  

@SaintBizzle haven't decided yet but Amazon looks like a prime target because it's the largest retail store in North America right?

2017-11-25 21:40:18 UTC  

People like us always seem to react that way to the Swedish school system

2017-11-25 21:40:44 UTC  

Oh I didn't excel at school @Hagel I sucked in school, I just learned everything on my own later in life.

2017-11-25 21:41:01 UTC  

Yes, I did the same

2017-11-25 21:41:31 UTC  

It works too.

2017-11-25 21:41:42 UTC  

I'm grateful for the internet, actually
