Listen "You Can't Learn from Scratch"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, I challenge the idea that we can learn effectively by "learning from scratch." I discuss how starting with the basics runs learning in the wrong direction, and how genuine learning only happens when we embed ourselves inside real environments. I use the difference in strength between bodybuilders and naturally strong individuals to highlight the problem with trying to design our learning artificially.You can find my published book on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D84YCHL5video references for this episode- face slap: https://youtu.be/yO-lKVDFusI?feature=shared&t=2191- arm wrestling: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmhQoyOf5Cs- deadlifting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwiC60GLEfQSupport the showBecome a premium member to gain access to premium content, including the Techniques and Mindsets Videos, visual concept summaries of each episode, community forum, episode summary notes, episode transcripts, q&a/ama sessions, episode search, watch history, watch progress and support.Join Now at nontrivialpodcast.com or patreon.com/8431143/join
