I use to think this is how everybody bootstraps learning stuff. Invaluable skill for PhDs & postdocs. http://www.drmaciver.com/2013/08/how-did-you-get-started-so-quickly/ … via @DRMacIver
My peers all knew how to learn and study . When I asked: Did you have to memorise things exactly? They said no.

We are taught incredibly vacuous BS. Tons of regilious and political propaganda & no critical thought. Also brainwashed to be non MEerners.

Yeah, I'm not saying we had the same exact experience, only that there's no real explicit attempt to teach learning skills.
-
I'm not sure we're the same generation? Regardless I was not equipped.

I actually have almost no idea how old you are (and am bad at guessing), but I think I'm older than you. I'm 33.
-
Fair enough. We're definitely different generations imho. Regardless Cypriots like me are not equipped to deal with student standards of UK.

We struggle hard. We indoctrinate children into political parties and political football teams from birth. Swastikas and hammer and sickles.

Graffiti is very raw and pure and all over. This is what children are taught. Polarises into thinking everything is easy and good vs evil.
-
That's bad news for anything involving actually thinking on your own. Evaluating a situation.

How to learn is still something people have to figure out on their own, but the curriculum is maybe one that makes that easier
-
Of course. But the instructions might be pro or against exploring your own ideas and critically looking at stuff.
-
TBH I don't think any school system is *pro* critically looking at stuff. Some of them just stamp down on it more than others.
-
I never claimed such a stark thing. It's a spectrum. But you can say I'm from a disadvantage.
-
You're very contrarian and don't seem to see nuance when I express something from my background? Or just coincidence?
-
I always assume people use the principle of charity when we're talking but maybe you're assuming I'm disagreeing?
