Gabriel Arazas b088086b06 Merge evergreen notes into the notebook
Now, it's all under the notebook umbrella. Seems to be appropriate as it
is just my notes after all.

I also updated some notes from there. I didn't keep track of what it is
this time. Something about more learning notes extracted from my
"Learning how to learn" course notes and then some. Lack of time and
hurriness just makes it difficult to track but it should be under
version control already.

Ignorance is better than misinformation

  • the lack of knowledge can make clearer conclusions since we don't have any misunderstandings to clear up first; we tend to be more open with the topic
  • but it doesn't mean most of the things we learn are from zero knowledge, We are more associative than structured, we try to understand the new by comparing them with the familiar things; if any, there's a pinch of prerequisite knowledge we already possess
  • however, being ignorant can also mean no actions nor thinking will occur when discussing a topic; at times, Being misinformed is better than being ignorant; but then again, we are more vulnerable to misinformation
