It is less about rote memorization but more about becoming aware of nuance and letting our minds “see” things from different angles, integrating it with existing world models either through augmentation, replacement, or adjustment. Similar for practicing activities that require some form of motor ability.<p>Some concepts are internalized less explicitly, like when we “learn” through role-modeling behaviors or feedback loops through interaction with people, objects, and ideas (like how to fit into a society).
