Don't be disappointed. Most of the things you were taught in school were simplifications of reality. The curriculum is taught this way to make it easier for you to incorporate a lot of axioms from different fields into your fledgling, inexperienced mind. Once you have a number of these axioms at your disposal, you are equipped to leave the nest and go out into the world and make sense of new things yourself, at whatever depth and speed suits your circumstances and interests.
- modeless 6y agoThis isn't a simplification though. It's a complification. It's both more important and easier to understand than a lot of the biology stuff that I was taught. The curriculum should be rearranged to prioritize this higher.
- sthnblllII 6y agoCorrect. In most class-based education, biology is treated just like history and math and everything else. All subjects are just collections of disconnected factoids handed down from on high. Intuition requires initiative, and initiative means asking questions, and asking questions takes away class time from the unintuitive students learning more factoids. The point is: go to your professors' office hours!
