Like, oh, trust me, you'll need this later.

You know, that kind of stuff.

Like, okay, I trust you.

I'll learn it because I guess I need it.

But I love the kind of learning where you'll actually get a reward out of doing something and you're learning on demand.

The other thing that I've found is extremely helpful is maybe this is an aspect where education is a bit more selfless because explaining things to people is a beautiful way to learn something more deeply.

This happens to me all the time.

I think it probably happens to other people too because

I realize if I don't really understand something, I can't explain it.

And I'm trying and I'm like, actually, I don't understand this.

And it's so annoying to come to terms with that.

And then you can go back and make sure you understood it.

And so it fills these gaps of your understanding.

It forces you to come to terms with them and to reconcile them.

I love to re-explain and things like that.

And I think people should be doing that more as well.

I think that forces you to manipulate knowledge and make sure that you know what you're talking about when you're explaining it.

What is a neural network?

It's a mathematical abstraction of...

The brain, I would say.
