Gabriel Arazas fbc458499e Restructure and update learning-related notes
Well, there is no set boundary what belongs in the hierarchical notebook
and the evergreen notes but I'm starting to lean in combining the two
together with a flat hierarchy. Nonetheless, I was able to make more
insights from separating them so it's worth it.

Tunnel vision

  • being invested in an idea that it blocks other ideas; this makes it harder to solve new problems where they expect to work similarly from their experience; it is a net negative if we force our way with the familiar solution while not understanding the new type of problem
  • We are more associative than structured; we tend to create connections between different things including new things
  • it is present on most experts with their experience on the field; but this is also a potential problem for students in training where certain principles are taught then encountering a new idea overall
  • This is the reason why most of the discoveries are made either by young people or those who haven't formally trained for the original field.
  • to combat against this, we can do roam:Interleaving
  • by the same principle, we could also let our attention switch at times; Involuntary attention switch is good for preventing tunnel vision
