- [[id:9f1f35dd-7cf9-4f47-a9a9-b647e5daa2af][We are more associative than structured]];

|
|
we easily weave a narrative on top of an idea or remember more easily because of a story
|
||
|
|
- in my experience, legends and origin stories are often more memorable especially with the outlandish ones like the ancient Greek and Egyptian stories
|
||
|
|
- in a way, we [[id:9a11ef31-b2a7-43a9-a7a9-48f191838c6e][Prefer referencing over remembering]]
|
||
|
|
- examples and stories are just one compact idea that tend to tune more into familiar things (e.g., narratives, analogies)
|
||
|
|
- at times, we are also more creative than logical but it does not mean that [[id:2b2a4c85-905a-478c-9e2c-2a64d08e4785][Creativity and logic are not opposites]]
|
||
|
|
- obviously, this doesn't mean explanations should be abandoned;
|

|
|
[[id:c0e4fb0e-68f2-4db4-8c3e-f5a7845738c3][Understanding comes first from memory]] and explanations tend to be one of the first things we remember when going back to a topic
