Ep. 17: How do we learn (and Why)?

From the moment we’re born to our final days, we spend the better part of our life learning… but are we doing it correctly?

In this week’s episode, Abel and Aaron discuss their motives behind learning. They chat on whether it’s for mandatory reasons, selfish reasons, or just for pure enjoyment. They also dive into the rabbit hole of how exactly to learn in the most efficient and optimal manner.
