43/ The general idea is that you can remember something like "bitcoin mining" as gold miner in a gold hat solving rubric puzzles in a corner that's being based on by other miners in a part of your house near the entrance.

44/ That's a funny image or story right? It takes advantage of your senses and is spatially located in a given area. It turns out that these are the techniques that people use to memorize pi 3.14159 to 100 digits. Instead of seeing abstract numbers, they see stories.

45/ This allows you to hack your brain to do things that it's not designed to do, which is learn abstract concepts and build on top of these abstract concepts in a knowledge tree.

46/ So, what is the implication of this in order to become an expert you have to overcome the fear of being an imposter and embrace loss. Embrace quizzing yourself over and over and embracing the process not the result.

47/ Most people psych themselves out thinking through horror stories on how their lives will be over, but instead they should focus on the process, take long breathes (reduce stress), think through quizzes and other parts as a process of learning.

48/ If you take any lessons from olympic athletes, it means that you need to simulate your local environment like the "testing" situation. Which means quiz or test yourself with noise and other distracting things that you expect to happen.

49/ That way you can get inoculated toward what actually happens. Olympic athletes, navy seals all work on a principle of "progressive desensitization." Why can't this be applied to mental items?

50/ As you apply this over and over. Then concepts become intuitive/zombie mode (type 1) and your type 2 thinking (focused mode) can allow you the base of your knowledge to be things that you can easily recall just like how you can read or add 1+1.
