Episode notes

If a student didn't know that destination, they're just gonna learn everything in every single one of their classes because, oh, want to get the good grade. That's how you keep stuff in memory is you keep using it. You don't study once for a test and then never use it again. Otherwise it goes away. I think this goes back to what we were saying earlier as well with why it's so much more effective to act or create instead of just memorize. Because if you act or create, or in other words, like you have a destination, then you don't have to learn all this superfluous information.
