Your conception of learning is quite distinct from the Asian one which is very clearly "pain is gain." The only lectures I emerged from where I felt "wonderful" were ones I completely understood -- that is, lectures in the humanities and arts in which I didn't have to flex a neuron.
- friendlybus 7y agoGood lectures in the humanities are partly there to tell you why you know what you know and expand on that and reinforce it with a good structure built from knowledge. That doesn't require masochism or a sense of conscious pain to gain a benefit. Using pain as a single measure of learning is missing the mark. But yeah learning will always cost something, even if it's just time.
