> What if I also told you that memorising facts is not the same as learning? It's interesting, I believe this but recently have come to a little bit of a modified conclusion. I might not fully grasp a particular concept, but the brain is clearly a very powerful generalizer. Feeding in facts, even if they aren't fully connected for you yet, can help your brain make that connection. I think the key is to not just accept that I will memorize x, y and z but that i will keep thinking about it as I ingest new data.
