Effectivity comparison of curiosity driven learning vs pressured learning
People are curious but not about the school shit
Problem what youre curious about might not be what your future boss wants you to be able to do
When you’re interested, your brain releases dopamine, which enhances attention, learning speed, and memory consolidation.
Stress or boredom (like in unenjoyable school settings) activates the amygdala, which can block learning if you’re emotionally disengaged or anxious.
Interest can increase learning by 2x to 5x
The amount of facts someone learns when they’re fascinated can be 5x, 10x, or even 100x more than in a subject they don’t care about — not just in volume, but also in depth and long-term memory.
