Why is jumping between subjects beneficial?
It expands the mind’s ability to take in new information and creates connections between different fields of knowledge, making future learning easier.
What is “cross-pollination” in learning?
Cross-pollination is the concept that knowledge from one field can help in learning another because all human knowledge is interconnected.
How can cross-pollination improve learning efficiency?
By applying existing knowledge from one field to another, learning curves are shortened, and understanding is enhanced.
Why is it beneficial to learn from multiple sources within the same subject?
Different sources explain concepts in different ways, increasing the chances of understanding and strengthening neural connections.
What is “brute force learning”?
Brute force learning means attacking a subject from as many perspectives as possible to gain a deeper understanding.
