Knowledge Myths & Efficient Learning

The many will tell you, to be knowledgeable you have to read a lot and refer to specialists. My experience tells me it's unnecessary.

The way to a 100% effective knowledge is to search only for what you need on an online search engine. You can of course read books, to increase your knowledge base foundation, but practical know-how are usually very few pieces of information and you don't need to read entire books just to know about them.

For example, I learned home gardening only through pieces of information collected from Google searching, skimming some gardening books and trial and error.

One day I wanted to know about the types of soil, I searched. If adding charcoal to the soil makes a difference.. I searched. I needed to know more about the types of Basil, I searched. What planting mint needs, I searched. How much water to apply? I found online cheat sheets.

The academic way of learning is as usual, very boring. When you search any source of knowledge, Google, Internet, Books, etc. your mind gates are open to save knowledge instantly and somehow permanently because it is hungry for a specific type of information. But when you read entire textbooks without defining targets, your brain is bored and you may probably forget a lot of what you read.

Your calibration is correct if the coins look as grey as they should, if there is a reddish, blueish, greenish or yellowish color cast, it means something is wrong. In my case, t

B1 June Pain Killer

Pill #1: The Source of Disappointment Calm down, you are not disappointed by block.one #B1June event. You were just not paying attention that the orgasm happened when the social media platform (voice) news was leaked. How can any other announcement be as exciting after the orgasm? Pill #2: Universal Basic Income The second reason is the universal basic income that was discussed by Dan Larimer before in his articles, but not elaborated during the event. Although voice.com tokens are incentives for quality content sharing and earning from it, but marketing it as a total replacement for ordinary jobs is a bit of a stretch and it wouldn’t have been wise to do so. Which I think some people expected thinking *universal* basic income. Pill #3: The News Leak If Dan or Brendan leaked the social media platform before the event. I wouldn’t blame them much, because some crypto enthusiasts went too far with their imagination, anything that would have been announced during the event wo

Here I categorize them with the properties of the 4 elements, Fire, Water, Air, Earth. The 2 elements mentioned are the dominant in them. Dominance of an element may indicate positive and negative traits of the same element.
