This is not the usual post<\/em><\/h3>\n

No, today I want to share a thought that came up to me.<\/p>\n

So today I didn\u00b4t have lot of homework so I took the time to slack and watch some Youtube videos, and I found this great video by Core-A Gaming called “Why Fighting Games Are Hard”(yeah, I\u00b4m a HUGE fighting games fan) if you haven\u00b4t seen it and are somewhat interested go here<\/a>, it is really quite interesting.<\/p>\n

But I watch fighting game videos a lot of the time. What struck me as interesting is that just yesterday professor Ken(Hi Ken) told us about learning, that it is not a thing of just memorization, but of understanding and knowing how to apply that memorization, and that it\u00b4s not easy and IT\u00b4S OKAY TO FAIL. And that\u00b4s exactly what the video is about(in it\u00b4s own terms, of course).<\/p>\n

The thing to understand is that as Gerald(Core-A Gaming\u00b4s narrator) said “learning is about pushing forward despite the obstacles, \u00b4cause you won\u00b4t be able to avoid them” but then, if learning is so hard why do we go through it? Well, that\u00b4s what I think fighting games are able to teach you.<\/p>\n

I think that we as people are just curious by nature, curiosity has been a consequence of evolution, because when you learn something new, it\u00b4s not readilty noticable so I don\u00b4t think we do it for vanity. And not every knowledge is useful, that\u00b4s why trivia exist.But it is a natural desire to differentiate ourselves, and even more in this age where overpopulation is a real problem. Because when we know something we differentiate ourselves from someone who doesn\u00b4t, and really learning something is the easiest way to do it, you don\u00b4t require natural skill or features.<\/p>\n

Isaac Asimov once said

\"Resultado<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div> there would be a time when people can learn things at their own pace, then humans will re-take the liking for learning. That is what makes Ken\u00b4s classes a lot more interesting, it\u00b4s like an open source(post coming soon). You can choose your pace, and even your research topics. It\u00b4s just a shame that I\u00b4m not even remotely interested in the things he teaches. Ken is the best professor I\u00b4ve ever met, he\u00b4s not just a professor for me.<\/p>\n
