Yeah, learning is such a broad term. You have cramming in knowledge (ugh - thankfully not that important after school), you have actually understanding concepts (hard but pretty neat), there's practical application (great) and, I don't know, research skill? Whatever lets you figure out jargon and conventions. That one can also be the most frustrating part, especially if jargon/convention go against your own intuition and/or are poorly explained.
More like "covid group project where nobody knows who is going to show the screen and everyone ends up doing something janky while someone could've opened up obs" (I've had that experience, it wasn't great)

I’m a first year medical student and I had probably one of the worst days of my life yesterday, I found out I failed all of my exams. So now I have to study the whole summer to make sure I can keep pursuing my dream of becoming a doctor, while all of my friends (including my girlfriend) are going on holidays, partying, going to music festivals etc. Needless to say, I’m having a rough time. But this channel (which I discovered two months ago and of which I have watched every video since then) always reminds me of why I love learning things, although it may be hard and it may suck sometimes. And this video was just the right one at the right time. By now I don’t even know where this comment is going, but I think what I just want to say is thank you. Thank you to the three of you for making this content that helps me (a 19-year-old guy from Belgium) and probably thousands of other people all over the world remember why learning can and should be fun. Thanks
I remember from a psychology class I took, sometimes we can't tell particpants what we're testing for exactly bc then it won't work out. However, idk if letting them know that they're in an experiment is required. I guess there's social experiements?
@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 I should note, in most cases, you do need to ask before hand. For example, if I asked you to breathe and blink, you'll take concious control, hence, we might tell you what we're measuring afterwards but, do ask you to be part of our experiement before hand
yeah the ethical guide states only minimum deception is allowed and benefits MUST outweigh the risks if you cant tell the subject exactly what you're testing
I think I know why we all hate learning: the school system sucks and drains the fun out of learning so we kind of just associate learning with the pain of going through school
Honestly, I don't really have that problem. As long as the subject is interesting, I love the learning process. I love discovering new things and going on research tangents about something I found interesting. However, the issue comes when I'm forced to study an uninteresting subject, such as in school.
Me too. I have one more point. I feel it's possible to learn anything according to how it's packaged and presented. I hate math, but I could sit for an hour listening to my teacher because of the way of the teacher explained, and his vibe too, like I could feel his enthusiasm and it makes me happy too. So maybe some of us have this natural curiosity which will pull us toward searching for the knowledge. Then we run into subjects we don't find interest in, but the way its explained might make us care about it. I guess it's not learning that is the problem at least for me, but I tend to depend on outer factors to pique my interest. If not, I turn into lazy mode and only few subjects will really make tune in and look for it myself.
As a future teacher, a lot of these concepts are exactly what I'm learning about learning and helping learners learn. I really want my students to have fun learning and enjoy it.
@@emmacole1857 this is directly my experience. I had *extreme* amounts of luck when I started school and most of my teachers were fairly new and they were so great. Years laters when my siblings had the same teachers they said the teachers weren't good, and we compared their classes and behavior and basically they had gotten super burned out because the school kept putting too much on their plate. Such a damn waste of life-changing employees. I literally owe them a lot of the best parts of me, they were the closest thing I had to good parents.
i guess i’m one of the few people who genuinely loves learning,,, like i honestly don’t care how applicable my knowledge is most of the time, i just like learning new things bc it’s FUN (as long as i like the topic)
i hate learning bcz it’s not something i can just go and “do it” right. like cooking for me is something i can just go do. my internal clock and measurement does everything for me i can see everything im doing and im being active. cooking is fun, it’s not incredibly difficult to just do, and the reward is amazing. doing yard work is another thing you can just do. you see what needs to be done you do it and you see the result. studying and learning is not like that. doing work you can be in any sort of mood but any way shape or form it’ll still be finished. but with learning or studying if you are in a bad mood or tired you can’t retain any information. i absolutely hate it
I was sold at Taha's "Many wrinkles." Also, I think you did a great job of explaining the concept of you have been doing. You start with a question, and then document HOW you go about trying to find an answer. Sometimes there is no answer, but at least a deeper understanding of the problem. I think Mellissa's local food video is a perfect example of that. She ended up completely reframing her original idea of what her question should even be. Keep up the good work!
I actually love learning for the sake of learning. Without telling anyone nor applying the knowledge anywhere. To me, the most satisfying feeling is learning something that fundamentally changes everything I know. In the opposite extreme, the worst feeling is not having enough time to keep on learning. I want immortality to learn it all!
For me it's definitely the overwhelmingness of it all. I watch a lot of educational videos and listening to audiobooks on different topics though. I definitely need help with art topics though especially with learning new art skills
My pro tip for learning? Don't stop. I've wanted to be smart since I was like 5. That was my driving need. An astronaut showed up in my senior kindergarten class, and I was blown away. I decided I wanted to know everything. Learning as often as I can has been impossible. But if you keep doing it, you get better at it. I'm now at a point where learning is just something that happens. A quick wikipedia search here, new book there, watch some videos, figure out what needs to be resolved, and now I always have two or three topics I'm juggling. Did you know there is the study of pre-Spanish languages? You just never stop. And then one day, you know stuff.
As a student, linguist, programmer, and musician I have to learn constantly and I am constantly aware of my limits. It’s humbling yet inspiring to know your limits so well and having to push them and digest new kinds of information in different ways.
Start another jar to have in case some catastrophic event requires the cash in an unforseen moment since medical care or basically anything costs way too much for the meager wages we recieve... WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY!!! * cry's in perpetual renters purgatory *
I've been studying Python lately and every time I get stuck I just yell, "I hate learning! I just like knowing!!!" and its so true lol. But when you step back and remember that the answer is there you are just pursuing it wrong, it helps. Also stepping back and applying what you have learned not only shows you how far you have come, but really does nail down what you have been learning. I really love this channel. Just found it a month or two ago and it is quickly becoming one of my favorites.
I'm an obsessive person, so learning about my obsession is like soothing to me. Right now I'm obsessed with stenography, and I'm not just learning stenography but I'm also creating my own stenographic theory based on linguistically analyzing English. This is just a background video while I sort through patterns and get the steno theory up and running
It is also largely ineffective. The system does not work well. It does not impart practical, useful knowledge and it does nothing to foster the accumulation of wisdom.
@@raifsevrence TL;DR: Wisdom can only be recieved by those who want it. You can make learning fun, sure, but it's not a habit you can enforce like brushing your teeth, enjoying your time or even learning your own language. Acquiring wisdom requires the same mentality as acquiring a fit body, a solid job or a relationship with that special someone. School can't teach you to "want" something. That would be authoritarianist. 98% of what you learn in school will never be applied to real life, sure, but will highschoolers (and college students) know 'what', out of everything they have been taught, will be included in that 98%? Will they even know what makes up that 2%? Unless they're decisive or can see the future, I really doubt it. I agree though, the system sucks. We can cry all we want about it, but it'll still be there unless *input theory that arguments this claim*
Some people overlook her content, bit she is ABSOLUTELY INSANE. like the amount of research done in every video is insane, plus the editing!?!??!? FUCKING MANUFIQUE *chefs kiss*
ok I genuinely love this channel because y’all make complicated information digestible without losing important details! and it’s in such a human way-you fail, you make jokes, you work together, and you try again :) (also I love the captions!)
I hope this current identity sticks as well. I definitely want to support it but with all the current stuffs, I have other things currently. But you will be the first patron I support.
"we like having learned something, but we don't like that, unfortunately, necessary bit in the middle" perfectly summarises my grad school / MA thesis experience so far
Learning is way more interesting with you guys because of all the silly jokes and the fact that you guys have no clue what you're doing much like we do. Watching a course on something can be intimidating because you feel hopeless since you have no clue what you're doing but the instructor knows everything, but when it's just three random people who know nothing about machine learning or making olive oil or how conspiracy theories are formed, it's a lot more chaotic and relatable, and when an answer finally turns up, you can look back on what happened along the way and laugh instead of feeling miserable about the number of textbooks you had to read and all the things you didn't understand when you felt like everyone else did it with ease.
I think the hardest part of learning for me is the pressure that if I don’t focus and run the info in my head until I get it, I will never get it. If I only knew that I’m making progress and can’t mess things up and don’t have a deadline then I don’t mind learning, you just grasp a little bit more at your own pace
As someone who watches documentaries for fun and was pegged with "the smart kid" label since I was, literally in a school for the first time, this was super informative. Except for math (which I likely have a learning disorder surrounding), academic -> textbook learning has been incredibly easy, and this really helped me better understand/empathize with others.
It's been a joy watching your videos on a wide range of topics. It's gotten my brain to be more cognizant of other subjects that I wouldn't personably be invested in/take the time out of my day to learn about. But the entertaining and memorable videos live rent free in my mind and are they're here to stay. And the curiosity that you trio bring, and the exploration of the subject, motivates me to do the same. Identity crisis or not, I like to think that everyone is looking for answer(s) in progress, and you're doing great work at it!
I adore learning. I'm still a kid, so my experiences are different, but I find that if it's explained clearly, I'll be fascinated in just about anything. If it isn't, but I still feel an obligation to learning it, I'll keep going over it again and again until I finally understand, and then I'll be satisfied. School can be confusing sometimes, but I don't question why I learn anything since that prevents me from wanting to learn. Instead, if I don't understand or am not given time to learn, I'll critique the way it was taught. Once, I was out of school from covid, and there was an algebra test the next day, even though I wasn't taught the algebra. I took my own time to learn it, and when I figure things out on my own, it tends to be so much more fun since I can make up funny storylines that only make sense to me; I love to incorporate inside jokes that I have with my friends, or even myself. Learning is underrated, and there are so many things out there to discover.
I think the part that stick with me is passion. When someone is super passionate about a topic, any topic, it's more likely to stick because they have a personal investment in it. And it's true for this channel too because every video is like "I'm passionate about being curious... in this video I'm gonna do this thing [explosions]." So yeah that's why I keep watching in spite of you being worried there's no cohesive brand.
I have a tip to make learning more fun and easier which is, instead of taking note like we usually do, try to write it like you writing a book, a fun book where you can put jokes, internet meme, etc, this work for me oddly, considering that I have ADHD
Wow, I learned about learning by not learning about learning and instead learning about learning! In all seriousness, it's not what you teach, it's about how you do it and what your attitude is toward it. A school teacher could be boring, but a friend teaching it to you makes it more interesting, especially when you put your personality behind it. The slideshow part was the best part because of how you handled it. You didn't take it seriously, and when other people were talking you would laugh and say how stupid this was, and that's hilarious, which makes it more interesting and helps you remember it better since it's associated with a good memory. You guys are great, keep doing what you're doing, don't let anyone tell you that you're wasting your time doing this!
5 minutes in, at "Welcome lab rats" Me, doing resume building: UA-cam... lab... rat... wait, let's call it a multimedia societal experimenter! There! now people will have to hire me! =D
For a couple days i've been recommended a video on vaping having failed. And i scrolled past it a couple times, until i clicked it just this morning. This channel is amazing! And glad to see i find it coincidentaly right after this video was released because it is such an inspiration. I'm very glad the youtube algorithm persisted on this recommendation. I'll keep watching all your other videos, keep being awesome.
Even though I’m usually lazy, I really love learning. More about manual activities/hobbies, My problem is that I see too much potential problem everywhere and I get scared to test because I think that I’m gonna fail no matter what I do, that I’m impatient and that I sometimes analyze way too much I’m not a good drawer but most of the time, I can see when a drawing is messed up and what the artist was actually thinking while drawing. Because you can see that you messed up and decide to persist and try again. But I can’t do that, I can’t restart something, and if I have to, I will find the reason why I failed and so try to correct the way I’m thinking. Basically, I feel like I need a teacher that knows absolutely everything and tolerant enough to who I can ask all my questions on every detail I tried also to learn to develop video games. When I was doing the tutorials, I had a serious problem about my self confidence and already thinking about what I have to anticipate to not let it bug because I would not tolerate it, like already about the way I should optimize the code before even having begin to read the exercise about it. And also try to see “traps” that the exercises set. Most of the time, read something, see that’s weird because I feel like it can be better, so I write the code by myself, to then get stuck, because I just got out off rails, and see further that actually, the way I wrote was supposed to be the final result of the whole tutorial, and so get mad because I did good on first try but lost time trying to do something that was already done. I know mistakes help you to learn but I just want to go fast so much that I need something that tell me if what I did implied multiples further step. Also, when I was taking breaks, I always begin from the beginning, in case I did maybe did something wrong or that I did not memorize the first steps well enough to never have to comeback on the previous exercises.
I'm now officially middle-aged (I think, when does that start again?) and back in college trying to finish my IT degree. Your videos have scratched the itch I needed to figure out WHY I'm struggling now where I didn't before (oh wait I totally struggled before hi ADHD). That you don't take yourselves seriously totally helps. Also, I haven't laughed so hard at three kids being goobers for money in a long time. Taha's delivery of the 'cost of one share' nearly knocked me off the couch.
I can say that i love the process of learning new things I've always been good at memorization and always been interested in topics but i absolutely hate school because it made me hat the process of learning by turning it from reading and absorbing the information into writing it down i love obtaining information but i hate presenting it or anything of the sort in that regard i suppose i am the opposite of you 3 in that my way of learning is mass consumption and archiving it in my brain I'd rather read a book 3 times than summarize it Wow that turned into a load of nonsense but basically i love what you do and i support you all the way with watching and loving the videos sadly im not in a place where i can financially support you directly so instead ill give you my .50$ or so per ad i watch on your channel
0:55 For me it's quite the opposite. I resent the idea of having to know stuff as opposed to figuring stuff out intuitively, but the actual process of learning, if it's a subject that interests me and/or I actively WANT to learn about, then that's a breeze! I LOVE learning, and I often find myself jumping from one Wikipedia or NCBI article to the next... but ONLY under those circumstances. Everything else is pain and suffering, like most of life.... yea ._.)
i SO relate to not wanting to study something that's not going to be tested!! so you don't go off of those fun tangents and really find what you're passionate about!! i really hate that that part of the school system has done that to us, it's such a shame
Something that's not said a lot is that people want and like to learn topics in varied degrees. Some people want and like to know about details, while others prefer to understand the broad idea, this again may vary for each topic for each person. Also, we all learn not only in different paces, but in different ways, some grasp better just reading and theorizing, while others only really grasp the knowledge when putting it into action, and in most languages you can explain the same thing using different words and ideas and each approach that you take may suit best for a different person. Kids usually don't understand why 2+2=4, but if you use apples or any other object to translate the meaning of "2" and "4" that's when people really get it. Try to find your "learning language", learning about something you're not interest in will always be hard, there's no "learn to like learning about something you're not interested about"
I guess the best way I could describe ur videos is that you guys apply tangential learning to dry topics. And that's what keeps me coming back since they're engaging and interesting to watch
I would like to thank you guys soo much, right now im on a hard procress that is just learning completly new stuff and everytime i think about going to the pc it just kills me thinking about the boredom of google and me not getting everything at first, but this video didnt just made me understand that there is a possible solution but that its ok, im not alone in this and not the only nerd that loves learn but hates the process, im trying to show this channel to everyone i can but im from Brazil so its kinda hard since english its not a common language in here(and here i leave my suggestion, try to get subtitles, it would help even more people). Thank u and keep up the fun and the awsome work!
So... what I learn from this video... First, eventhough we fail, we still learn. Nice. Secondly, we more interested in learning things that we want, but it usually aren't been shows in the education system... it's like, we get bored sometimes when we were forced to learn something...
This whole video is mighty relatable. I always loved learning but couldn't stand the way it was delivered in school. As an adult, I've become an absolute UA-cam addict because there are people presenting thousands of topics in more engaging ways. And if my brain decides that the subject matter of a particular video wasn't worth committing to memory then no harm, no foul because there's no exams or grades. The other relatable part is the panic behind your eyes at the prospect of getting a "real job". A thoroughly unpleasant endeavor (for some people) that I'm slogging through right now. I tell you what, if I succeed and acquire one of these dubiously-named "real jobs", then I will support you on Patreon, because at least some of us should be free from dependence on corporate exploitation.
Ok, this video just feels weird to me. I love learning, including the act of learning. I will admit there are times I don't want to put in the energy but that's usually outside factors or just the fact the topic doesn't interest me. Maybe part of it is that I've learned the skills for learning. I'm a lawyer and if you change areas of practice even a little you have to basically start from scratch as each area of law has a lot of its own idiosyncrasies, jargon, and other little touches that can be connected to the overall whole but still are different enough that it feels like you're needing to relearn a lot. In law, you further have to KEEP LEARNING because the law is always changing. Whether the change is because of an appellate decision, a new legislative law, or just the nuances of local judges and learning which ones require which approaches. Another side of this for me is I am quite literally a philosophy major (go BA in Philosophy!). Philosophy literally is the love of wisdom. So, asking questions and looking into them is also within my discipline. Getting into the weeds on weird topics and looking into them is also something I learned to do often. I also try and expose myself to a lot of information, which may help with the base knowledge. It also helps I was more of a renaissance man in high school in learning a broad range of topics including the arts and the sciences.

I wish to see more teachers like you cuz most of them don’t care :(
@@Umi_luv unfortunately a lot of them cared in the beginning but got too burnt out.
@@emmacole1857 oh, that’s sad :,
@@emmacole1857 this is directly my experience. I had *extreme* amounts of luck when I started school and most of my teachers were fairly new and they were so great. Years laters when my siblings had the same teachers they said the teachers weren't good, and we compared their classes and behavior and basically they had gotten super burned out because the school kept putting too much on their plate. Such a damn waste of life-changing employees. I literally owe them a lot of the best parts of me, they were the closest thing I had to good parents.
i guess i’m one of the few people who genuinely loves learning,,, like i honestly don’t care how applicable my knowledge is most of the time, i just like learning new things bc it’s FUN (as long as i like the topic)

That’s a yes from me!
Was that a Disney XD reference?

I'm down!
i hate learning bcz it’s not something i can just go and “do it” right. like cooking for me is something i can just go do. my internal clock and measurement does everything for me i can see everything im doing and im being active. cooking is fun, it’s not incredibly difficult to just do, and the reward is amazing. doing yard work is another thing you can just do. you see what needs to be done you do it and you see the result. studying and learning is not like that. doing work you can be in any sort of mood but any way shape or form it’ll still be finished. but with learning or studying if you are in a bad mood or tired you can’t retain any information. i absolutely hate it
I was sold at Taha's "Many wrinkles."
Also, I think you did a great job of explaining the concept of you have been doing. You start with a question, and then document HOW you go about trying to find an answer. Sometimes there is no answer, but at least a deeper understanding of the problem. I think Mellissa's local food video is a perfect example of that. She ended up completely reframing her original idea of what her question should even be. Keep up the good work!
I actually love learning for the sake of learning. Without telling anyone nor applying the knowledge anywhere. To me, the most satisfying feeling is learning something that fundamentally changes everything I know. In the opposite extreme, the worst feeling is not having enough time to keep on learning. I want immortality to learn it all!

Is this _not_ true for people?
@@pablorepetto2759 depends on the day and or subject
That's ADHD, sounds like. Your mind is so against boring learning you either need to trick it, or change your environment
@@pablorepetto2759 There ARE some people (workaholics) who actively seek out work ..... so no, everyone is not like that.
For me it's definitely the overwhelmingness of it all. I watch a lot of educational videos and listening to audiobooks on different topics though. I definitely need help with art topics though especially with learning new art skills
Well, I certainly don't hate learning from you guys. I am excited for more cool videos mostly on questions I hadn't yet thought to ask
Also, fish
I love how chaotic this is. So much like their live streams that *are best when they're a mess* 😉😅
I'm here for it
Omg I swear, watching this video gave me this "awkward school group project" vibe BUT IT WAS SO FUN. You're a huge motivation guys.
My pro tip for learning?
Don't stop.
I've wanted to be smart since I was like 5. That was my driving need. An astronaut showed up in my senior kindergarten class, and I was blown away. I decided I wanted to know everything. Learning as often as I can has been impossible. But if you keep doing it, you get better at it. I'm now at a point where learning is just something that happens. A quick wikipedia search here, new book there, watch some videos, figure out what needs to be resolved, and now I always have two or three topics I'm juggling. Did you know there is the study of pre-Spanish languages?
You just never stop. And then one day, you know stuff.
My problem is that I forget alot of stuff I read/watch about. Or sometimes get the facts mixed up when recalling things.
I KNEW THIS WHOLE VIDEO SOUNDED LIKE A SALES PITCH ON ZOOM.
The worst self-advertisement ever. Love this trio
This video has so many meme-able moments and lines that can be taken out of context for funnies
As a student, linguist, programmer, and musician I have to learn constantly and I am constantly aware of my limits. It’s humbling yet inspiring to know your limits so well and having to push them and digest new kinds of information in different ways.
What happens when the "we live in a society" jar gets full 🤔
I imagine society just ends o.o
we buy society
It happens that we live in a society ya know?
We buy a new society and start from the beginning
Start another jar to have in case some catastrophic event requires the cash in an unforseen moment since medical care or basically anything costs way too much for the meager wages we recieve... WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY!!! * cry's in perpetual renters purgatory *
I've been studying Python lately and every time I get stuck I just yell, "I hate learning! I just like knowing!!!" and its so true lol.
But when you step back and remember that the answer is there you are just pursuing it wrong, it helps.
Also stepping back and applying what you have learned not only shows you how far you have come, but really does nail down what you have been learning.
I really love this channel. Just found it a month or two ago and it is quickly becoming one of my favorites.
If you gauge your progress...it helps a lot!
when melissa said "learning alone can be lonely" i really felt that 😔😔😔
i have learned that the more chaotic my teachers are the more i learn. thank u aip
I'm an obsessive person, so learning about my obsession is like soothing to me.
Right now I'm obsessed with stenography, and I'm not just learning stenography but I'm also creating my own stenographic theory based on linguistically analyzing English.
This is just a background video while I sort through patterns and get the steno theory up and running
Simple answer: school is boring
It is also largely ineffective. The system does not work well. It does not impart practical, useful knowledge and it does nothing to foster the accumulation of wisdom.
@@raifsevrence TL;DR: Wisdom can only be recieved by those who want it.
You can make learning fun, sure, but it's not a habit you can enforce like brushing your teeth, enjoying your time or even learning your own language. Acquiring wisdom requires the same mentality as acquiring a fit body, a solid job or a relationship with that special someone.
School can't teach you to "want" something. That would be authoritarianist.
98% of what you learn in school will never be applied to real life, sure, but will highschoolers (and college students) know 'what', out of everything they have been taught, will be included in that 98%? Will they even know what makes up that 2%? Unless they're decisive or can see the future, I really doubt it.
I agree though, the system sucks. We can cry all we want about it, but it'll still be there unless *input theory that arguments this claim*
Hate to break it to you but learning doesn't get easier after school ends
I disagree. It depends on so many variables such as: subject, teacher, etc.
@@midnull6009 no, it's inauthentic learning, do you actually remember things you learned in school?
I'm not sure I like learning, but I definetly LOVES to feel I understand something.

Some people overlook her content, bit she is ABSOLUTELY INSANE. like the amount of research done in every video is insane, plus the editing!?!??!? FUCKING MANUFIQUE *chefs kiss*
Taha's repeated use of the word tangent really put me on the edge of my seat lol
ok I genuinely love this channel because y’all make complicated information digestible without losing important details! and it’s in such a human way-you fail, you make jokes, you work together, and you try again :)
(also I love the captions!)
I hope this current identity sticks as well. I definitely want to support it but with all the current stuffs, I have other things currently. But you will be the first patron I support.
"we like having learned something, but we don't like that, unfortunately, necessary bit in the middle" perfectly summarises my grad school / MA thesis experience so far
"I have one of those quirky brains that you have to trick into learning"
The neurodivergent feel.
🙌🏼
More like the almost everyone feel. Come on.
I love how the video by itself is so confusing, but after watching all of the videos here, it becomes so wholesome
The stuff in this channel is of another level, I wonder why it doesn't have its subs in millions
(p.s. the editing is dope)
This channel is the perfect example that the best way of learning something is to realize to late that you are learning something.
"Why learn something when I just want to play Minecraft?"
Well, I've been called out.
How does 1 YEAR research managed to produce only 12 minutes video 😭 Either way I'm happy that this channel is growing, Keep up the great work!!
Learning is way more interesting with you guys because of all the silly jokes and the fact that you guys have no clue what you're doing much like we do. Watching a course on something can be intimidating because you feel hopeless since you have no clue what you're doing but the instructor knows everything, but when it's just three random people who know nothing about machine learning or making olive oil or how conspiracy theories are formed, it's a lot more chaotic and relatable, and when an answer finally turns up, you can look back on what happened along the way and laugh instead of feeling miserable about the number of textbooks you had to read and all the things you didn't understand when you felt like everyone else did it with ease.
Such a great point!
Yeah man it feels relatable but the One Experienced Man Can Help us in one to one interaction but can't on the Screen we are watching
I think the hardest part of learning for me is the pressure that if I don’t focus and run the info in my head until I get it, I will never get it. If I only knew that I’m making progress and can’t mess things up and don’t have a deadline then I don’t mind learning, you just grasp a little bit more at your own pace

"So I'm ending the channel."
NO SABRINA STOP-my heart skipped a beat for a sec...
As someone who watches documentaries for fun and was pegged with "the smart kid" label since I was, literally in a school for the first time, this was super informative. Except for math (which I likely have a learning disorder surrounding), academic -> textbook learning has been incredibly easy, and this really helped me better understand/empathize with others.
I like learning

It's been a joy watching your videos on a wide range of topics. It's gotten my brain to be more cognizant of other subjects that I wouldn't personably be invested in/take the time out of my day to learn about. But the entertaining and memorable videos live rent free in my mind and are they're here to stay.
And the curiosity that you trio bring, and the exploration of the subject, motivates me to do the same.
Identity crisis or not, I like to think that everyone is looking for answer(s) in progress, and you're doing great work at it!
I adore learning. I'm still a kid, so my experiences are different, but I find that if it's explained clearly, I'll be fascinated in just about anything. If it isn't, but I still feel an obligation to learning it, I'll keep going over it again and again until I finally understand, and then I'll be satisfied. School can be confusing sometimes, but I don't question why I learn anything since that prevents me from wanting to learn. Instead, if I don't understand or am not given time to learn, I'll critique the way it was taught.
Once, I was out of school from covid, and there was an algebra test the next day, even though I wasn't taught the algebra. I took my own time to learn it, and when I figure things out on my own, it tends to be so much more fun since I can make up funny storylines that only make sense to me; I love to incorporate inside jokes that I have with my friends, or even myself. Learning is underrated, and there are so many things out there to discover.
I think the part that stick with me is passion. When someone is super passionate about a topic, any topic, it's more likely to stick because they have a personal investment in it. And it's true for this channel too because every video is like "I'm passionate about being curious... in this video I'm gonna do this thing [explosions]." So yeah that's why I keep watching in spite of you being worried there's no cohesive brand.
I love y'all. Never stop making Phineas and Ferb references please!
wow it's been a long time since the algorithm has nailed a sugestion like of this channel! I'm hooked! you guys are awesome!
Best ad ive ever seen! 10/10
The headaches,dizziness,confusion,tension. thats what hurts the most. not just distraction
Are- are you tricking me into _learning?!_
I have a tip to make learning more fun and easier which is, instead of taking note like we usually do, try to write it like you writing a book, a fun book where you can put jokes, internet meme, etc, this work for me oddly, considering that I have ADHD
7:21 Ah yes, my favourite document
Sided with Adventure times and Regular Show
Wow, I learned about learning by not learning about learning and instead learning about learning! In all seriousness, it's not what you teach, it's about how you do it and what your attitude is toward it. A school teacher could be boring, but a friend teaching it to you makes it more interesting, especially when you put your personality behind it. The slideshow part was the best part because of how you handled it. You didn't take it seriously, and when other people were talking you would laugh and say how stupid this was, and that's hilarious, which makes it more interesting and helps you remember it better since it's associated with a good memory. You guys are great, keep doing what you're doing, don't let anyone tell you that you're wasting your time doing this!

Love the shameless advertising mixed in an actual lesson to be gained. Lmao genius. 👌🏽
I like that you catch the watcher's attention right away. Immediately start talking.
This video contains everything I love about AIP. Happy as a swimming fish to see it!
Lol swimming fish aren't happy. They do it cuz they have to lol. Else...death!
For a couple days i've been recommended a video on vaping having failed. And i scrolled past it a couple times, until i clicked it just this morning.
This channel is amazing! And glad to see i find it coincidentaly right after this video was released because it is such an inspiration.
I'm very glad the youtube algorithm persisted on this recommendation. I'll keep watching all your other videos, keep being awesome.
Even though I’m usually lazy, I really love learning.
More about manual activities/hobbies, My problem is that I see too much potential problem everywhere and I get scared to test because I think that I’m gonna fail no matter what I do, that I’m impatient and that I sometimes analyze way too much
I’m not a good drawer but most of the time, I can see when a drawing is messed up and what the artist was actually thinking while drawing.
Because you can see that you messed up and decide to persist and try again.
But I can’t do that, I can’t restart something, and if I have to, I will find the reason why I failed and so try to correct the way I’m thinking.
Basically, I feel like I need a teacher that knows absolutely everything and tolerant enough to who I can ask all my questions on every detail
I tried also to learn to develop video games.
When I was doing the tutorials, I had a serious problem about my self confidence and already thinking about what I have to anticipate to not let it bug because I would not tolerate it, like already about the way I should optimize the code before even having begin to read the exercise about it. And also try to see “traps” that the exercises set.
Most of the time, read something, see that’s weird because I feel like it can be better, so I write the code by myself, to then get stuck, because I just got out off rails, and see further that actually, the way I wrote was supposed to be the final result of the whole tutorial, and so get mad because I did good on first try but lost time trying to do something that was already done.
I know mistakes help you to learn but I just want to go fast so much that I need something that tell me if what I did implied multiples further step.
Also, when I was taking breaks, I always begin from the beginning, in case I did maybe did something wrong or that I did not memorize the first steps well enough to never have to comeback on the previous exercises.
Being one of 500,000 makes me feel small, but I will still support this channel, I love to learn along with you guys
5:50 learning goes stonks
I'm now officially middle-aged (I think, when does that start again?) and back in college trying to finish my IT degree. Your videos have scratched the itch I needed to figure out WHY I'm struggling now where I didn't before (oh wait I totally struggled before hi ADHD). That you don't take yourselves seriously totally helps.
Also, I haven't laughed so hard at three kids being goobers for money in a long time. Taha's delivery of the 'cost of one share' nearly knocked me off the couch.
I can say that i love the process of learning new things I've always been good at memorization and always been interested in topics but i absolutely hate school because it made me hat the process of learning by turning it from reading and absorbing the information into writing it down
i love obtaining information but i hate presenting it or anything of the sort
in that regard i suppose i am the opposite of you 3
in that my way of learning is mass consumption and archiving it in my brain
I'd rather read a book 3 times than summarize it
Wow that turned into a load of nonsense but basically i love what you do and i support you all the way with watching and loving the videos sadly im not in a place where i can financially support you directly so instead ill give you my .50$ or so per ad i watch on your channel
that presentation hit a level of "so bad it's good" that makes me wish I had money to support the patreon
0:55
For me it's quite the opposite. I resent the idea of having to know stuff as opposed to figuring stuff out intuitively, but the actual process of learning, if it's a subject that interests me and/or I actively WANT to learn about, then that's a breeze! I LOVE learning, and I often find myself jumping from one Wikipedia or NCBI article to the next... but ONLY under those circumstances. Everything else is pain and suffering, like most of life.... yea ._.)
i SO relate to not wanting to study something that's not going to be tested!! so you don't go off of those fun tangents and really find what you're passionate about!! i really hate that that part of the school system has done that to us, it's such a shame
Ironically, you clicked on this video to learn why you hate learning.
Something that's not said a lot is that people want and like to learn topics in varied degrees. Some people want and like to know about details, while others prefer to understand the broad idea, this again may vary for each topic for each person. Also, we all learn not only in different paces, but in different ways, some grasp better just reading and theorizing, while others only really grasp the knowledge when putting it into action, and in most languages you can explain the same thing using different words and ideas and each approach that you take may suit best for a different person. Kids usually don't understand why 2+2=4, but if you use apples or any other object to translate the meaning of "2" and "4" that's when people really get it. Try to find your "learning language", learning about something you're not interest in will always be hard, there's no "learn to like learning about something you're not interested about"
This is like the ideal channel trailer 😂
I love learning, I hate learning for the sole purpose of school
“Why you hate learning”
No,
Let’s change that-
“Why you hate going to school.”
I guess the best way I could describe ur videos is that you guys apply tangential learning to dry topics. And that's what keeps me coming back since they're engaging and interesting to watch
6:21 the niche is definitely interesting topics
"i've got one those quirky brains that you need to trick into functioning"
That is so bloody accurate for so many people.
I would like to thank you guys soo much, right now im on a hard procress that is just learning completly new stuff and everytime i think about going to the pc it just kills me thinking about the boredom of google and me not getting everything at first, but this video didnt just made me understand that there is a possible solution but that its ok, im not alone in this and not the only nerd that loves learn but hates the process, im trying to show this channel to everyone i can but im from Brazil so its kinda hard since english its not a common language in here(and here i leave my suggestion, try to get subtitles, it would help even more people). Thank u and keep up the fun and the awsome work!
So... what I learn from this video...
First, eventhough we fail, we still learn. Nice.
Secondly, we more interested in learning things that we want, but it usually aren't been shows in the education system... it's like, we get bored sometimes when we were forced to learn something...
I love this channel because it’s so fun because you’re being yourselves and it makes me feel included
2:45 Me in one sentence.
This whole video is mighty relatable. I always loved learning but couldn't stand the way it was delivered in school. As an adult, I've become an absolute UA-cam addict because there are people presenting thousands of topics in more engaging ways. And if my brain decides that the subject matter of a particular video wasn't worth committing to memory then no harm, no foul because there's no exams or grades.
The other relatable part is the panic behind your eyes at the prospect of getting a "real job". A thoroughly unpleasant endeavor (for some people) that I'm slogging through right now. I tell you what, if I succeed and acquire one of these dubiously-named "real jobs", then I will support you on Patreon, because at least some of us should be free from dependence on corporate exploitation.
Ok, this video just feels weird to me. I love learning, including the act of learning. I will admit there are times I don't want to put in the energy but that's usually outside factors or just the fact the topic doesn't interest me. Maybe part of it is that I've learned the skills for learning. I'm a lawyer and if you change areas of practice even a little you have to basically start from scratch as each area of law has a lot of its own idiosyncrasies, jargon, and other little touches that can be connected to the overall whole but still are different enough that it feels like you're needing to relearn a lot. In law, you further have to KEEP LEARNING because the law is always changing. Whether the change is because of an appellate decision, a new legislative law, or just the nuances of local judges and learning which ones require which approaches.
Another side of this for me is I am quite literally a philosophy major (go BA in Philosophy!). Philosophy literally is the love of wisdom. So, asking questions and looking into them is also within my discipline. Getting into the weeds on weird topics and looking into them is also something I learned to do often. I also try and expose myself to a lot of information, which may help with the base knowledge. It also helps I was more of a renaissance man in high school in learning a broad range of topics including the arts and the sciences.
