The secrets of effective learning (with Andy Matuschak)
Clearer Thinking with Spencer Greenberg
We need ideas in order to have a certain kind of thoughts
We need ideas in order to have certain thoughts. While it's true that we can look up information in today's world, it underestimates the importance of having ideas to form certain thoughts. There are certain classes of things that are worth memorizing, even when they can be looked up, such as behavior change insights or creative connections between ideas. Memorizing these things enables us to have prompts that can impact our behavior or make creative connections in the moment. Additionally, when learning complex topics or skills, constantly looking up information can disrupt the flow and enjoyment of the activity. Having certain ideas memorized allows for fluidity of thought and the ability to build upon concepts in real time.
