It would be nice if some of you diversified your learning pallet

Try to study something that's even boring to you. Studying is like working out. It's supposed to be uncomfortable and hurt. If you run into something that you can just swallow up with ease, odds are you would have came to all of the conclusions you learn from it independently because it already matches your train of thought.

Actually, I find physical exercise very rewarding. I study material that interest me. If I come across something that peaks my interest, then yes, I'll study the material. It's called education.

Sometimes it's good to study something that doesn't interest you. I look at it like exercise. Your interests, to me, are like a tunnel. Not bad and very natural to study them, but anything you learn probably would have concluded independently because it's your interest. The people you'll discuss it with will be more like you than not and the viewpoints more similar than not.

That's less like exercise and more like have fun or playing even if you're learning. Sometime digging into something different for the fact that it's difficult or a new perspective helps you understand your perspective a lot.

Internet makes a lot of people tunnel learners because their world is what they want to see hear and learn, nothing else.

Going with the theme of the thread I read somewhere about how if you ever meet somebody who is passionate about anything that you particularly don't care about you should actually talk to them about it because you'll learn so much more off somebody who is passionate and in their excitement to talk about a passion they'll spare no detail. Plus you learn something new. It seems most people only want to reinforce what they already know, a comfort zone kinda thing. I agree with it. Better to learn new things and talk with differences of opinion than reinforce the same old shit you know. You don't want to be to knowledge how CharlesJones is to rap music.

I think that people should stop believing in so much stuff. Once you believe in something you commit to an idea and you'll reject any other possibilities. If you learn something, take it on board, accept that it is a perspective that has merit but there's more to learn and branch out for alternative ideas to that one concept you'll learn. People today just hear one thing and believe it then staunchly defend it to the death without any rationale to the alternative.

expand on that. what is a white queef power structure. lol

TSA makes a good point. It's really tough to do this, I often find trying to learn things I actually want to learn to be a bit of a chore. It's not like it's impossible to learn a new skill or gain a new perspective, but we are creatures of habit, so it literally has to be a sustained effort. Some people have a natural personality that's always searching for something new, but most people stay in their lane.

I think it's worth doing, I occasionally make an effort to do something new or out of my comfort zone, but not enough.

I always enjoy hearing someone who is am expert on a subject, actually share their knowledge on it. But there are too many so called expert's that you have to be guarded at times. One of the problems with internet/social media age. The more obscure the topic the better, for me.
