We need to give more credence to our subconscious abilities. People like their knowledge to be sheets of notes or flash cards they can rattle off because those are easy for our conscious minds to quantify. The subconscious mind is way stronger though, a basketball player can instantly calculate a shot that would take a few minutes to consciously calculate by hand. We should view education more in this light, less memorizing a bunch of facts and more getting problem solving repetitions in with an expert to guide you through them. It would be insane if we taught basketball only on paper and then sent players out on the court, but we do that with a bunch of other subjects.
