All caught up with ol boy..... Secret history 1-7.
He's definitely a right winger/conspiracy theorist, but there's enough truth and plausibility in what he says.
The main problem I have with him, is that he'll make a big claim that's the foundation of an even bigger claim.

Actually had to rep you here. The sheer number of pdf textbooks a google search away is staggering. I mean 1000 page college senior grade textbooks on damn near any subject you want. Reading not your thing? There is a youtube playlist for you.
Gotta recognize that.
That's the crazy thing.
Another issue is a lot of people become perpetual students. You can give someone all the books, all the playlists, let's say on math, or learning a language, or science someone can have all the resources for free, but not counting the ones that just weren't going to do anything at all in the first place, some people just become perpetual studiers/readers. It's like people who actually work out and go to the gym for years, not the ones who go in and bullshyt, or go in and but eat like bullshyt after, they go in consistently, for years....they never become an elite athlete or obtain an insane physique.
Those people never become geniuses, despite their interests, the amount of time, dedication, etc etc.
No one has ever been able to really pinpoint how or why people plateau or fail to continue to go progress or excel beyond a certain point. And it's interesting because people are different.
Someone who loves maths will say, I bought these books and just went through them page by page, lesson by lesson, did all the work! While another person will just be like "I just did the homework that was given to me when it was assigned, and took the classes that were offered
"Someone may say they did 30 mins a day, 5 days a week. While someone else will be like "I did 20 hours a week minimum"
It's easier to think of it like a fitness program, if 5 people do the same fitness program, eat right, and start from the same spot, maybe 175lbs or even 300lbs. Not everyone is going to reach the same goal at the end of the program.
On my phone so I can't but listen to Michael Hudson and or Steve Keen talk about modern monetary theory
I don't think learning for learning's sake is a bad thing at all. Matter of fact you can say no one ever stops learning in life.Another issue is a lot of people become perpetual students.

This is only true for young adults
Kids (6 to 18) NEED a structure that provide guidance and discipline.
If your school system is bad, your youth is doomed. The internet just gonna make it worse, not better.

You supposed to learn until the end.
And you can see the difference between old people who stopped learning, being curious, and those who kept their mind work, acquiring knowledge
You just described how the rest of the world feels about America's portrayal of them, especially in media and via its hegemony

Y'all are misunderstanding.
There's a point, for some undefined reason where for some people, learning stops. Like imagine if you never got passed algebra or geometry and no matter how much you studied, practiced, were tutored, taught, you never really grasped it, you never fully understood it and we're talking for years, decades.
We try to rationalize it like, well they aren't studying long enough or hard enough, or they're over studying, under studying, not often enough, too often, well there's different learning styles and different techniques and mediums, well they need a different teacher, a different type of teacher, they're lazy, etc and usually we find something that we use to justify ones lack of progress whether it be learning or becoming physically fit.
When your hard drive is full, you can't store anymore data. When you look at people's brain capacity, it's not all the same. The question is why? This is excluding things like drug use trauma, lack of dedication or effort.
Like some people can learn 7 languages and another person can struggle to learn a second.
Some people can do all sorts of maths, why another struggles with something like long division.
It's not known why there are such differences. And it's not shytting on anyone. You can search Reddit or watch YouTube videos on learning, math, reading, language learning, etc. You'll find people talking about how they feel like they've maxed out their brain when it comes to learning something or a few things and they'll detail all the methods and such theyve used.
A lot of the time if we start something and chip away at it we think "it's gonna click and I'm going to start progressing or retaining" and for some in some things it just never happens. No matter how hard they try or what different methods they use.
The whole thing is interesting to me because people say things like "if you spend 10,000 hours on it, you'll master it!" "If you read 400 hours about xxxxxx you'll be a genius about it!"
And that's not true. By the time you spend 10,000 hours on something you've probably done it enough or studied it enough to know it before then, but that seems like a safe place marker, because if they said 20 hours most people could complete that and think "that's bullshyt"

Damn we humans are wierd.An addiction to learning....an aversion to progress.
Yeah, brains are wired differently. Some people need to read in complete silence. Other mfs can have air pods in and be bumping the latest album.
