Metalearning: The Essential First Step of Learning That Nobody Never Taught You than You Think
The Problem is Not the Problem the same framework (that solves chemistry problems) cannot solve physics problems and vice versa
A lot of us waste our time worrying about specific problems — how to deliver a project, how to get funding, how to crack an interview — whereas the real problem is we don’t know how to think about the problem correctly.
As a kid I struggled with chemistry whereas my physics was top notch. I was one of the few in class who could grasp physics concepts rather easily. I was pretty proud of myself. But later I realised I wasn’t unique in anyway. It had nothing to do with me and everything to do with knowing the fundamentals very well. I understood physics naturally because it had rational (and almost unbreakable) laws whereas chemistry was full of exceptions.
