What I concluded, especially I took a few neuroscience courses, after was that the computer/database/memory model is not good to explain school and learning. . My take: You don't learn to remember what you learn. You learn t

Thank you for making my point. Your comment is as vague and nebulous as you say Gladwell's stories are. Neither does he claim to publish scientific papers, last time I checked those were "popular science" category books like

Oh right, art elitism as counter example, great. Who gets to define what I see as art? "conceptual hollowness" - that sounds nothing but esoteric to begin with. Reminds me of the (German) "Hurz"... event ( https:/&#

My point is that that is exceedingly rare - it is a statistics game. For the commenters too. You read and write all your life. You don't spend 100% on every comment, even the most committed commenter soon settles into an equilibrium of

I believe a huge problem of sites like reddit or HN is that from my, a comment writers PoV, it is just not worth it to spend much time on a comment. Even when I feel like writing one, I still only spend a fraction of effort. The big problem

I get the feeling you ignored well over half I wrote. I hate it when people carefully select only parts of a whole to find something to nitpick. Not to mention that it isn't about anyone's personal feelings, it's how people o

Yes, because a 25 year old has the same maturity and life experience as a 40 year old (or similar age numbers). How dare the young make decisions that from the point of view of someone with much more experience looks silly? Also, the assump
