Ok, so I'm going to squeeze every last drop out of this as I can...

And even throw into the concept of "holistic learning" into this...

If you've read my framework in my signature then consider that the system is the hierarchy tree of your subconsciousness / cortex .

And I'm going to relate this to me. Say my hierarchy has only 2 main branches, one is the knowlege and skills about getting the ladies and the other is general personal development (lol... that seems about right....)

In my pains of transitions post I wrote that it took soo much energy to switch from learning "the arts" to writing my paper about culture.

The knowlege systems of IRs that represented the paper about culture had to "fight" with the "unrelated" system of IRs that represented the arts.

In this context I argue that holistic learning is the "good" thing to do while not doing it is evil.

Here is the article about Holistic learning.

Quote:
Holistic learning takes an opposite approach. Learning holistically is not done by trying to remember information by using repetition and force. Holistic learners instead organize their minds like spider webs. Every piece of information is a single point. That point is then consciously related to tons of other points on the web. There are no boxes with this form of learning. Science becomes literature which becomes economics. Subject distinctions may help when going to class, but a holistic learner never sees things in a box.

When it comes time for exams (or any practical application for your knowledge) compartmentalized learners have to hope that they pounded the information hard enough into their head so it might come up during the exam. Holistic learners do the opposite. Holistic learners only need to start at one point on their web, but they can use that web to feel around and find all the associated information they need.
Ok. So I don't understand how the associations work... or even that is always a strict hierarchy, not always like that. But its basically that you make the knowlege work together to create something better instead of keeping it separate.
