(Go stick your head in a pig!)

Come to think of it, “share and enjoy” is exactly the way I would expect an AI-generated YouTube video to end.

    I asked my math teacher when I would ever use [whatever we were learning at the time] and his answer stuck with me.

    “It’s not about learning how to [thing], it’s about learning to solve a problem in a new way”

    I regret not taking it to heart in school but I try to remind myself of that when I “waste” a night working on something “useless” - you learn a lot more than the solution while solving a problem

      It hadn’t struck me until now that some think that all you’re trying to learn in school is the solutions to arbitrary problems, but people thinking that makes a lot of sense and helps clarify why they have the posture they do towards education.

      Some aspects of education overemphasize memorization so maybe a lot of people think that applies to all of education when it does not.
