Learn by Exposure: Immersing Yourself into Real Environments
Manage episode 509209150 series 3252683
In this episode I discuss the difference between learning rules and recognizing patterns, arguing that genuine understanding comes from immersing yourself in real environments rather than relying on isolated fundamentals. Through examples like chess, programming, language acquisition, and piano, I emphasize that patterns are felt and latent, not definable by textbooks. True learning requires exposure, courage, and creativity.
