- Don't make an effort to retain what you've learned (a story for every nugget of wisdom, the feynman method, spacing etc...) - Don't identify root causes Okay...forgive the scatteredness of this tweet-whatever. I didn't prewrite it.

So, now let's try to flip this on it's head and come up with some rules/tactics to learn: 1. Avoid drugs and alcohol 2. When you're trying to learn something avoid distractions i.e. music with words 3. You cannot just play, you have to practice.

[What is practice in life though? I know what practice is in basketball, in chess, in talking to women, in public speaking, but what is practice in learning? In life? Help me out here]

4. Reflect on your mistakes. What are some errors that you have made in the past and why did you make them? Why did you not realize that you were making an error at the time and how could you have?

5. Find people who are better than you are at what you want to learn! In this particular instance, it would be much appreciated if such a person would appear and tell me how to learn. That'd make this easier. 6. Find books on the subject!

[But how do you find the right books? Suppose I wanted to learn finance. There are so many books out there that would teach me the wrong things! Books by operators with skin in the game? Usually their just self/business-marketing. Ugh!]

7. Stay humble young grasshopper. If you think you have learnt it all and you're right, well that's cool, but also pretty unlikely. Keep an open mind to learning new things and you will.

8. Go to your limits! Increase your mind's endurance (A), its maximum computational capacity (B), its flexibility (C), and its creativity (D)! Do A until your mind is tired. Multiply 32x981 in your head until you get it (B). Argue for a position that you disagree with (C).
