alright just for fun: AMA but only about math, will attempt to speed-explain stuff with as few symbols and equations as possible and see what happens
(esp happy to field questions about stuff that seems basic to you and that you feel like you should've gotten a long time ago!)

honestly idk if you want to do it the way i did it, i mostly do it by making math into my procrastination activity. that has the effect of naturally building in a lot of spaced repetition but also it takes a lot of time lol

but also i want to like speak up in defense of forgetting things or something. i think "use it or lose it" often applies here - you remember things that you need to use repeatedly and forget things that you don't, and that's good actually
i manage to retain a lot of math because i use it repeatedly to answer other people's questions about it on the internet but it's not like i'm using it to work on any of my own projects or anything like that y'know? it's just how i goof off and it happens to look impressive

which is to say, if you find yourself forgetting it then, among many other things you might try, you can ask yourself "why did i even want to learn this in the first place? what was i going to use it for?"
