The core theme is that most people learn inefficiently by passively consuming information, leading to a lack of tangible results. The content proposes a project-based, active learning methodology, enhanced by AI and public sharing, to achieve mastery and life goals significantly faster.

most people don't know how to learn
because they fry their brain with
podcasts and YouTube videos and books
and textbooks and social media and 6
months later after learning so much they
have nothing to show for it why are you
even learning in the first place if not
to do something with it learning for
most people has become a form of mental
masturbation it's the same cheap
dopamine you get from scrolling on your
phone but even worse because it makes
you feel as if you're learning something
but the reality is you'll forget about
it by tomorrow now here's the harsh
truth you're learning slow and if you
can learn 10 times faster you can
achieve success faster you can complete
the portfolio project you can start the
business you can articulate your
thoughts in your writing or whatever it
is that you're learning even further
it's my belief that most people are just
wasting time you can probably learn what
you need to learn within 2 weeks when
most people take 6 months to learn that
one thing so to do that you need to
learn how to learn and that's what we're
going to talk about in this video we're
going to cover these topics the protoge
effect andan technique how to optimize
for pattern recognition which is very
important how to use AI to speed up the
process and Project based learning so
you actually do something and you
solidify the knowledge so this is going
to be a very practical video my other
ones are more philosophical more
abstract this is just like straight
here's how you learn so please be ready
to take out your notes cuz we're going
to go over practical examples with
screen recordings and everything and by
the end of this you should have a clear
path to learning any skill that matters
fast so let's start with this previous
tweet of mine when I want to learn
something new I don't start learning
first I outline a project first then I
learn exactly what I need and build out
the project while learning I found that
this solidifies teachings into my brain
much faster the mark of a free person is
that they learn how to learn that is the
meta skill that is the skill of all
skills is if you're in order to pick up
a skill that changes your life you need
to know how to learn that skill
effectively so that you can use it
because if you don't choose what to
learn you will be told what to learn and
if your mind is the operating system for
reality the options available for your
future will be drastically limited and
you won't even realize it more
importantly the most important thing you
can do when the world is rapidly
changing like it is with technology and
AI is learn learn learning is the single
most important skill because it allows
you to learn the skills that can't be
taught in schools cuz the schools are
they're just this big system this big
maybe outdated system that take a long
time to catch up with the times changing
a curriculum is a lot slower than
someone who learns the topic fast makes
a YouTube video on it for you to learn
even faster and if you can keep up with
that if you can keep up and adapt with
the latest skills that are coming in
adding them to your tool belt you can do
some incredible things so the first step
to learning how to learn is to create a
map of your ideal life because I've
watched countless tutorials not only
researching for this video but learning
how to learn myself in the past I've
watched countless videos listen to
countless podcasts of people teaching
how to study or learn it seems like the
missing piece is that they just don't go
over why you're learning in the first
place people choose something to learn
but it doesn't connect to any of their
current skills and doesn't connect to
the life they want to live this is
dangerous you won't want to learn if
there is no deeper meaning or Clarity
behind it you will need more discipline
and you'll probably continue to hate
learning like you did in school or
you'll feel like your learning is for
the sole purpose of getting a job or
career that you didn't care about in the
first place so that's step one to create
an aim for your learning that way you
can feel the progress you are making
toward your self-generated goals not the
goals Society assigned to you that is a
major Key of Life enjoyment and I'll
spare you the psychology around that
that go read the book flow by Mii chiet
me high and you'll understand what I'm
saying here if you don't enjoy what
you're learning and you just feel like
you're learning to do something that was
expected of you since you were a kid
that your parents wanted for you or that
Society wanted for you you're not going
to enjoy it and that alone is going to
hurt how much you learn people who enjoy
learning something can be so much better
at people who are just innately smart so
we're going to do something very fun
here to create an aim for your future
we're just going to map this out you
don't have to do this inside of Cortex
but there is a template available for
you to download to fill these things out
now this is going to get extremely fun
with the AI prompt we have and so many
people have enjoyed using this prompt
because you you'll see what I mean but
first you're going to dissect your day
your current what you do every single
day so these are just examples for me
but in the morning you break down the
activities you do and how you feel while
you're doing this that part isn't too
important you can honestly just delete
this section if you want to the
important section is here so what do you
not want out of life and what do you
want out of life so you should get more
specific than I do here or else the AI
prompt is going to yell at you to get
more specific we've talked about vision
and anti- vision many times in many
videos now you're going to break it down
you're going to gain Clarity because a
higher Ary of goals frames your mind for
what you are going to learn if you don't
have these things written down when you
go to learn something you aren't going
to know how to apply it to your goals
because you don't have goals you just
have the goal of going to school getting
a job so the only thing your mind is
trying to pick up as information fuels
that goal so generate your own goals
here what skills and knowledge you need
to acquire in order to achieve them
which will also help shape your learning
and what you decide to learn and then
are there distractions standing in the
way now you can go even further so each
week what I would recommend doing is
duplicating this specific part so what
went well last week what didn't go well
you can write down gratitude goals for
this week uh different connections
inside of your workspace if you want to
and then every day you can write out
your tasks and I can duplicate this as
well change this to Tuesday so on and so
forth so when you have your plan your
life plan you can rename this template
to my life plan but if we go over to
chats what I can do is create a new chat
and we're going to use this document
you'll see how but we're also going to
go to my prompts you can also find a
link to this in the description and
we're going to go to the Strategic
advisor prompt here and what this says
is so cool it's act as my personal
strategic advisor with the following
context you have an IQ of 180 you're
brutally honest and direct you built
multiple billion dollar companies you
have deep expertise in Psychology
strategy and execution etc etc your
mission is to identify the critical gaps
holding me back design specific action
plans to close those gaps push me beyond
my comfort zone etc for each response
start with the hard truth I need to hear
follow a specific actionable steps end
with a direct challeng or assignment now
this is important because your strategic
advisor here is going to identify blind
spots and you can just talk to it the
entire time as you're learning things
with the prompts we're also going to
talk about later in this video for
creating something like a study guide
for the skill you're trying to learn so
I do have to mention that this was found
from a pollinator 3000 on Twitter uh
it's just a really good prompt I really
enjoy it so we're going to take this
we're going to copy dang it I can't copy
stuff okay command C we're going to
press tab to toggle on Kai which is new
cortex AI pretty cool but again you can
copy paste this into chat GPT whatever
I'm just showing it here because it's my
software right but we're going to enter
this and it's going to respond when it's
ready and it says okay I'm ready and I'm
going to say I want you to review at my life
life
plan and help me achieve my goals what
do I need to do it's going to go over
it and it just rips you
apart now this is pretty long I'm not
going to read this entire thing uh but
this life plan is a scattered collection
of thoughts not a strategic road map
prioritize ruthlessly with the action
rewrite your goals identify your
bottleneck systematize your health in
relationships eliminate distractions
Focus projects by tomorrow rewrite your
life plan with the following one primary
goal revise secondary goals clear Define
smart goals identification of your
bottleneck a list of focused projects
don't come back until you've done the
work and then you can just keep talking
to this as we go so that was step one so
after you have your life plan your aim
your frame for learning that's important
that optimizes pattern recognition to an
extent so you can notice the right
information so you aren't learning the
wrong thing step two is to outline a
project listen to this carefully the
best way to learn is to build a real
world project and only search for
information when you need it how much
you learn is directly correlated with
how much progress you make on the
project when you watch endless tutorials
you fill your mind with noise and Chaos
most of that information goes to waste
it leads to overwhelm anxiety and slows
down how fast you learn when it comes
time to build the project the only
reason you're learning in the first
place you feel as if you learned nothing
and have to search for the information
anyway so if you want to learn faster
skip the tutorial phase outline the
project first and now you don't
necessarily need to skip the tutorial
phase you just need to start the project
and hit that struggling point and then
when you go into the tutorial phase you
you actually pick up the information now
when I say outline a project or create a
project this tends to confuse some
people a project can be anything your
health can be a project your body body
can be a project your relationship can
be a project your business can be a
project an image in Photoshop can be a
project a website for your portfolio can
be a project a project is simply a
structured way of achieving a goal or
making progress toward a goal it's a way
to further narrow your frame of
reference so your mind biases the right
information as you learn and again this
continues to optimize pattern
recognition as you read books study
tutorials or have conversations good
dopamine will spurt into your brain to
signal that information is important for
the completion of the project your
subconscious will munch on problems and
send relevant ideas to your conscious
mind this is what creatives call shower
thoughts it's when the default mode
network is active in your brain while at
quote unquote rest think of when you're
on a walk or even more prevalent for
most people is when you're about to fall
asleep late at night and you're working
on a project and idea ideas keep you up
and you can't stop typing them into your
phone if you haven't experienced that
yeah it sucks to not be able to sleep
but it feels so good because that's when
the ideas come the most when you're not
focused on work when your brain isn't in
that task positive Network Charles
Darwin as an example worked on his
projects in focused blocks then went on
long walks on these walks his brain was
at rest and potential solutions to
problems pop into his head when I write
newsletters as a small project within a
bigger project of my business I outline
the newsletter at the start of the week
I don't just write my newsletters Allin
one go this is a weekly process process
the outline creates my frame of
reference I outline it and then as I'm
writing it day by day slowly and going
on walks and listening to stuff and
researching for the newsletter or a book
or whatever it is then novel ideas come
to my mind that I can use to write if I
were to just sit down and try to spit
out what's in my brain Allin one go it
could be good but I'm not necessarily
learning anything or doing anything
unique so when you have a project
outline if you do it in cortex you can
just open up your phone mobile apps
coming soon which is awesome and you can
type at or plus to connect to that
specific document that you're creating
the outline in and you can just save
ideas there you can save ideas without
having AI respond to you then they're
right there when you sit down to fill
out the outline of your project and you
can also just talk to Kai and be like
okay how do I do this part how do I do
this part so here's how you start a
project choose something to build that
moves the needle toward what you want in
life from earlier create a note or
document and brain dump everything that
comes to mind save three to five sources
of inspiration that you want to emulate
so if I'm creating a YouTube video as a
project I would save three to five
YouTube videos I would want to create
similar iterations of this part is so
important even when you're creating
Photoshop or art or something like that
as a beginner or tweets or writing
anything a book a a a course whatever it
may be you start by pulling certain
parts of those things into your own
project so you're not necessarily
starting from scratch you're just just
not starting with a tutorial you're
trying to imitate intelligent imitation
you're trying to pull from multiple
sources to create your own thing and
then as you go and hit sticking points
that's when you learn best now with this
you want to study those sources and
break down their structure or
characteristics then outline the project
into sections Milestones images
inspiration and what you need to know in
order to complete it and then of course
have a place to capture ideas that come
to mind preferably somewhere you don't
lose the ideas or forget about them you
can do this in Apple notes or todoist or
notion or any of those things now after
outlining a project step three is to
start with what you know because
learning comes from struggle not
memorization if you know nothing at
least try to take the first step
download the software and start playing
around try to create something anything
just get your mind in a state where it's
hungry to learn otherwise you probably
won't digest the information you search
for then follow this process you start
then you don't know what to do you try
and fail you search for the answer or
ask AI you try to implement the answer
you repeat until the project is complete
and if you can't find the answer you ask
an expert so a few years ago Google
searching was considered a skill being
able to type the right things into
Google to get the answer that you need
or being able to search Reddit or stack
Overflow if you're a programmer or
things like that now that AI has all of
that information prompt engineering is
becoming the new Google search in a
sense we're going to talk about AI as a
skill in the next video and how to learn
this prompt engineering that I'm talking
about because it's one of the new modern
skills that you can pair with any other
skill to Future proof yourself to an
extent because I believe it was the
founder of Nvidia who said machines
aren't going to replace people people
using machines are going to replace
people so if you learn how to use AI
Beyond just typing a sentence into it
you're setting yourself up quite well so
as an example if I'm building a project
or just an image in Photoshop and I get
stuck right I start I don't know what to
do I'm kind of just like trying out
different tools and then I can't create
it and let's say I want to remove a
background from an image I know nothing
about Photoshop right then I can just
type into Kai or AI in general and say
how do I remove the background of an
image in Photoshop and it will give me a
few different options that I can try
then I succeed and because I'm
struggling and my brain wanted to learn
that thing it kind of locks it in into
place a lot better and then you continue
on with the project and you keep going
so I can continue to ask more questions
like what are Selections in masks in
Photoshop how do I make a selection on
this type of image I was doing this the
other day where I was like in Premiere
editing something and I didn't know how
to do it so I pressed option C to open
up like a floating AI Pane and I just
asked really quick how do I get through
this and then I got through it and I was
able to edit a lot faster without having
to go through 10 different articles on
Google to find the answer so after
starting step 3.5 is how to start when
you don't feel like starting because
that's a big problem for a lot of people
is they just don't want to start so they
never do the zynic effect is a
psychological phenomenon where people
remember unfinished tasks more than
completed tasks meaning if we don't
complete tasks for our projects it's
much easier to find the motivation to
get started but how did you get started
from scratch so there's a trick here
that I learned from Justin Sun who is
another YouTuber who talks about
learning and he calls this the zynic
squared effect or the zaric effect
squared either one in other words you
want to kind of invoke the zynic effect
by starting easy tasks before getting
started on your project because if you
start those tasks then they'll be
unfinished and you'll want to continue
working on them and they lead naturally
into the task that you need to work on
so this could be something like setting
up your desk like literally coming and
cleaning your desk or I make coffee in
the morning and I come sit down or some
kind of ritual or routine that allows
you to just get into the thing when I
don't want to write my newsletter I just
go into the outline and I just promise
myself that I'm going to start looking
at it reading it uh typing up some ideas
that come to mind and then eventually I
hit something and I'm like okay I can
keep writing this thing so you don't
necessarily have to start doing what you
were doing before you just have to kind
of go into it start playing around a bit
and then once you start doing something
or mess with something you want to
continue doing it so for something like
going to the gym right if you're trying
to learn Fitness maybe you just go and
start walking on the treadmill there
like you just say I'm going to go walk
for 5 minutes and if I don't feel like
it doing anything here I'm going to
leave and most of the time you won't
leave if you have Clarity on what you're
doing remember hierarchy of goals you
need to know what to do and if you don't
know what to do then you need to study
right bring AI to the gym and just be
like hey what exercise should I do next
in uh this chest workout routine okay so
we're going to go back into the prompts
again and we're going to find the study
regimen prompt and we're going to take
this and we're going to open a new chat
you can rename these as well if you want
to keep them organized I'm just showing
you something you can name one strategic
adviser like I have here that you can go
back to and chat with when you need it
you can go back to your discipline coach
whenever you need to start the task and
now your study regimen you're going to
paste this in here and you're going to
place replace this part the topic with
whatever you want to learn so I'm going
to say storytelling then we're going to
send this here and I'll make this full
screen so you can actually see it once
it's done generating but what we have
here close the prompt library is a
60-day storytelling regimen according to
the prompt so the prompt was to give me
one bestselling book One technical book
multiple YouTube videos three to five
interest that complement the main topic
that I can explore as supplementary
education for fun because you don't
always just want to learn this like go
through this boring grind of learning
the information you want to learn
complimentary things that fill in the
gaps of what you're learning now what
you do here inside of this chat that you
can rename to study partner is you're
going to go through here and this is how
you're going to learn and I've gone
through this multiple times I've tested
it it actually gives you good
information and good books to go into so
phase one is immersion and Foundations
weeks one and two so you're going to
read the book story style structure
substance Etc why it's a Cornerstone
text action steps read two to three
chapters a day take notes on key
Concepts and you can take notes either
in this chat or in a document and
connect it to it and ask it to quiz it
on you you can say if you take notes
inside of a document here you can say
quiz me on at whatever the document is
and it will take it into context and
then also in that first phase the
YouTube video you're going to watch is
here Phase 2 technical application 3 to4
phase 3 creative exploration where you
can go through all of this phase 4
refinement and practice this so on and
so forth and it has action steps you can
take to actually learn storytelling and
it says okay let me know when you're
ready to dive into the first phase or if
you'd like to adjust any part of this
let's just say let's dive into the first
phase then it'll
go all right it just breaks down the
first phase that's awesome now I
actually want to find this YouTube video
here so I can show you how you could get
personalized study help on that thing
because with Kai you can talk to your
highlights or other things inside of
here and you can add YouTube videos with
a link to pull the transcript in from
them okay we're actually I'm going to
give this as an example because I've
actually listened to Brandon sanderson's
lectures on writing Science Fiction and
Fantasy because I want to personally
write a fable so I'm going to turn Kai
off just so I can save this in here but
what this does is it adds this to my
library so now I can access the
transcript and it's right here so I can
turn on Kai and I can say uh give me the
key points of this video and I can even
break it down and go deeper into the
actual uh timestamps of that specific
thing so if I listen to this video on a
walk and I want to be quizzed on a
specific timestamp related to it I'll
points and then I can go through here
and ask questions I can answer the
questions and then just get quizzed as
my study partner so now we have three
things inside of here we have the
Strategic advisor we have the discipline
coach and we have the study regimen so
those three things combined while
creating your project that you can
oscillate between really enhance your
learning now how do you actually
structure how you learn because we only
have so much time in a day the best way
in my opinion to do this is in three
different focused blocks the first is 30
to 90 minutes of building so you build
your project and search for information
information when you need it the second
is 30 to 60 minutes of learning so you
follow your study regimen and take notes
on what you learn and you can review
these notes by asking your notes to be
summarized in Kai that's actually one
thing I forgot to show you here is that
you can turn off Kai and you can capture
your notes to this specific thing you
can take all of your notes on a specific
video or on the topic in here and then
you can ask Kai to summarize what's in
the chat because it takes the entire
your chat into context now the last
block is 30 minutes of walking this way
you can listen to YouTube videos
audiobooks or lectures so go on a walk
and jot down ideas on your phone as they
come to mind those are your Keystone
habits that's when all of the learning
happens and the thing here is that
nobody is going to give you the time to
learn and build what you want to learn
and build you have to take the time put
them on your calender wake up an hour
earlier or stay up an hour later turn it
into a ritual grab your coffee pull up
your outline put on some focus music and
start Paving the way toward the future
you want to create so that's how you
learn in a nutshell but we can take it
even further with a few other Concepts
and to do this we write to
systematically reflect on what we learn
so here's the puzzle you know what you
want for your future you have a project
or a series of projects that will take
you there and you are learning and
building daily but there's one missing
piece and it turns out it's also a way
to further enhance how much you learn
the missing piece is people who care
about what You're Building because I'm
assuming that you want to do this
full-time you're learning and building
because you want that to turn into some
kind of sustainable life you want to
replace your job or career with a
calling an obsession and to do that you
need money at least enough to sustain
your ideal life you don't need millions
of dollars you just need enough to make
money you need people to care about what
you're building to make people care
about what you're building you need to
show what you're doing in public and in
most cases the best way to do that is
writing teaching what you know and what
you're learning as you build if you want
a master class in this go follow a Peter
levels or levels.io on Twitter where
he's just building out a game with AI
right now and he's just doing it in
public and he's adding features that his
followers wanted and by doing this
you're attracting people to what you
build so that they one care about it and
two you have an audience now that wants
to support you now why writing first
thing is that it's the foundation of
media and two it's accessible and anyone
can start writing right now no video
editing skills required and three it
holds much more power than just building
an audience of supporters writing is how
you systematically reflect on what you
learn when you teach what you learn you
expose more knowledge gaps you struggle
more to understand you have more
specific knowledge to research so this
is where the Fineman technique and
protoe effect come into play the Fineman
technique is a learning method
popularized by physicist Richard Fineman
in short it's about deeply understanding
a concept by explaining it in simple
terms as if you were teaching it to
someone with no prior knowledge so to do
this you choose a concept so you select
the topic you want to understand you
teach it you explain the concept in
simple language as if you were teaching
it to a child and then you identify gaps
so when you struggle to explain
something clearly identify the areas
where your understanding is weak last
you review and simplify so go back to
the source material or you're learning
you relearn the concepts and then try
explaining them again in even simpler
terms now this overlaps with What's
called the Protege effect which in short
is the teacher learns more than the
student teaching what you know or what
you learn encourages you to make sense
of it in your own way to finally string
it together in your own mind so that you
can that's learning and by doing this it
exposes even more gaps in your knowledge
because if I'm talking to a camera and
then I watch back over it or I Stumble
over my words right now I have something
to improve I have something to learn
more what this does is it increases the
effect of pattern recognition life
becomes more enjoyable and serendipitous
because you notice more things in life
that can help you achieve the projects
or goals that you set your mind to you
learn more just from living so how do we
merge both of these with what you're
already learning you do it by writing on
the internet now we talk about this in
quite a few videos quite a lot of them
but I'm not talking about becoming a
content creator I'm talking about
treating social social media as your
public Journal rather than a place to
just distract yourself in that way you
at least have a chance at attracting
potential supporters customers employers
investors team members and anything else
you would need to reach the life you
want this is why it's so powerful
learning building writing to
systematically reflect on your on what
you learn in public so people value what
you're learning and building and it just
doubles down on the effect of learning
it's less about building following and
more about putting your work in front of
other people like when you're trying to
meet new people it's never going to
happen if you don't get out of your
house and you'll grow bitter and angry
wondering why you're all alone it's
obvious why because you haven't given
people a chance to know or care about
you your chances of success are zero so
here's what I recommend for starting
write a newsletter once a week to
summarize what you've learned and
remember teach it to them teach what
you're learning this is how so many
people start newsletters or social media
is they just use it as a place to share
what they're learning that week some
people's bios on social media is are
literally just sharing what I learn on
the way to whatever the goal is sahil
Bloom millions of followers on Twitter
his bio for the longest time was like
the exploring my curiosity and sharing
what I learn along the way your bio
doesn't matter here what matters is the
content is it interesting are you
teaching it literally start the
newsletter or post go search on YouTube
pay attention to these things as they
pop up on your timeline so you can
replicate them is like I learned about
this insane concept this week it's
called the zynic effect and it's the
best way to overcome procrastination
here's what you do share what you
learned in this video share anything
that you learn you give credit where
credits due when it's needed but most of
the time if you're just teaching a
concept or something like that and
weaving it in with your personal
experience that that just helps your
learning so much more the third thing is
to just write posts on X threads or
LinkedIn because these are just writing
platforms you can do any platform but
the these are writing platforms talk
about your opinions beliefs personal
experiences and what you are learning
and building then tack on social media
as a skill you need to learn the same
way as taught in this video then add one
more 30 to 60 Minute time block for
writing every morning now if these time
blocks are starting to add up you can
split them across different days so you
can learn on Monday build on Tuesday
write on Wednesday and then walk on each
of those days to soak in more
information and then during all of this
ask or AI in general or chat gbt or
Claude to help you as you write so an
example is you are an expert at crafting
engaging social post what's the best way
to start a post on this topic that I'm
learning and continue from there so
personally writing changed my life I was
once a freelance web designer who failed
at every business prior to that and I
started on social media because I was
tired of doing cold Outreach to land
freelance clients and as I kept going I
I realized the power of writing in in
terms of getting in front of more people
not only on social media but what about
my landing pages right if I'm not doing
cold emails and sending those things
people are how are people getting to me
right they're going to my profile
they're reading some of my content
they're going to my website my landing
page whatever it may be and that way I
didn't have to get rejected as much for
reaching out to people cold I just
shared what I knew and what I was
learning in web design and what I was
building you go and follow programmers
or designers and they're just sharing
their work and if that work is good they
gain a following if it's not good then
you have direct feedback if you aren't
gaining a following then you can do
better but for me with social media it
wasn't just about the freelance work it
was about how much I was learning every
time I hit post it felt like I had
learned something new like for the
longest time when I was a kid I would
just look up to people who were very
articulate and knowledgeable about
certain things and then whenever I would
read something like a book and I thought
it was really good but then I tried to
explain it in my own words and I was
like I I I can't do do this it's just
not coming to mind I didn't actually
learn the thing but as I started writing
and like writing is Legos with ideas so
when I'm piecing these things together
and I'm able to kind of just play with
the thoughts on screen then it makes it
so much easier to learn because it's not
just like I'm trying to do it on the
spot as I'm speaking so the more that I
wrote the more good things happened
internally and externally so I hope that
you can experience that as well that is
it for this video I hope you learned how
to learn I hope hope you go on to
continue learning if you want something
