As a teacher, I make my students explain concepts back to me in their own words, to check if they really understand it or if they just memorised the terminology. Great video as always!

Wish my teachers did that -you sound like you are doing a great job

So true. I never really learn things until I know the WHY

Absolutely!

I absolutely love your videos. They are perfect little gems of information and encouragement and I look forward to working my way through them all. My most common reaction to your lessons is "why didn't someone tell me this years ago?" 😊 p.s. you have such a pleasant voice; it is a delight to listen to you.

Excellent video as always. As helpful as this is for the readers, I wish teachers/lecturers/professors also pick up this concept. Imagine how much fun learning becomes when the "why" and "how" become part of the process. Unfortunately too many people are satisfied with mere information and do not (are not taught to) seek the underlying wisdom.

Thanks and I totally agree. I think a large part of the problem comes from the temporary goal of passing a test; it doesn't usually rely on understanding. Just memorising.

@@odysseas__ Very true. And once you grasp the concept, there's no need to memorise things. If you can use your own words why bother learning by rote, which is much more boring anyway 😅

Is it not the case that arterial wall thickening biases to proximal vasculature, on the basis that systolic pressure is generated by back pressure which means it is not the arteries (or more broadly, vessels) adapting to generate pressure themselves (this is not possible) but rather the vessels adapting to better withstand stress if they are closest to the heart? I think these points are supported by Laplace Law. I understand this is quite pedantic, but I worry it may disturb the value of the point you made afterwards is all:) Great video, also!

I misspoke and said the arteries generated pressure, rather than the heart, but you are right, they are thick to withstand pressure. And thank you!

Honestly, the more I understand the psyche, the more I believe many of the "self improvement" tips like this, are just temperamental differences. While someone who isn't interested in the how or why is definitely capable of brute forcing a deeper understanding by asking these questions, I think we forget that people naturally process information differently. You don't want someone who constantly needs to understand the how and why to do a repetitive job where the only thing that matters is whether or not something works. There are many people who find the how and the why as pointless and impractical. Which for their approach to operating in the world, it is. These people call people like us to fix things, solve problems, and create new things because we care about/are interested in the why and the how. They just don't need to worry about the how and the why constantly like us. So if you're a person who can't stand the how and the why, and values the who, what, or where more, don't beat yourself up. We need people like you to keep people like us down to earth, instead of up in the clouds. Edit: I also want to clarify that I loved this video and this isn't meant to be a criticism. It's just me hypothesizing an answer to the question of: "why do some people think about the why's and how's while others don't easily?"

Thanks, and it's an interesting insight. I can't say I know, but the world of learning and reading is so complex it surely cannot account for every part that makes a person who they are. And like you said, that extends the topic to the role people have in their society.

The larger barrier in understanding some information is the hidden concept. It is the underlying rule or context of the information.

Why do fluids move from high pressure to lower pressure?

@odysseas__

7 ай бұрын

I believe it's because there is a gradient; the net force, from high to low pressure, creates movement. If both areas were of equal pressure, they would both 'overpower' each other equally, and so there would be no overall movement

So paraphrasing?

Shame this needs to be explained to generations of people conditioned to believe learning = memorizing 'facts' and marking down the 'right' ones on scantron sheets to pass tests.
