Interesting that the human brain can not tolerate boredom, but actively avoids engaging tasks.

Itā€™s funny how this video changed my pov on lots of things. Thereā€™s one thing I really learned from this video after only watching it once (Iā€™m rewatching it and still knew this one thing before rewatching it months after) : thinking is uncomfortable and you must be willing to be uncomfortable to learn. Now when I feel uncomfortable when learning new things bc itā€™s difficult, I can say to myself that this is just normal and that as I clarify the difficult informations I will learn it better

Things I've learned from this video... 1) Habit --- automatic ways of doing something (practice something Consistently) Eg, Shoe lace tieng, Musical nots, Pupil dilution 2) Thinking takes efforts. It involves fighting through confusion (Somewhat unpleasant) 3) Human Brain cannot tolerate boredom but actively avoid engaging tasks. Mind craves for easy and instant gratification. 4) Enhanced observation skills.. 5) False feelings: Eg, Watching YouTube videos gave us a sensation of understanding without learning anything. - To always drive with the GPS on, So you never get lost but alao you never learn the way. 6) If you really want to learn and get better at anything, have any chance to become an expert, you have to be willing to be uncomfortable.

Am using YouTube since 2016 but till date I had never commented on any video it's 2023 now and I would say that this is the best video I have ever seen on you tube and the line "If you want to have any chance of becoming an expert, u have to be willing to be uncomfortable" is just it really hits the sensation of doing something and not just being lazy all the time

This must be why kids have an easier time learning than adults. Their auto pilot isn't fully developed yet, and EVERYTHING takes effort.

Thank you very much for the efforts you put into making these informative videos. We learn a lot from you. I've been looking up how to improve my memory for years and this short explanation of "chunking" has been the biggest breakthrough.

Man this guy makes something so easy to explain from a normal pov into something so deep in scientific. Like if somebody asked me what is thinking I would say something like "Thinking is to come up with a solution or an answer."
