>>12691776Retard. You can’t retain anything you don’t care about. This is why we have schools, so that they can gamify the learning process by making us care about things like grades etc. It’s not a bad system, it clearly works. But at some point you’re expected to have some fucking agency and be able to LARP your way into learning things on your own. Clearly you’ve implicitly come to the conclusion that whatever you’re trying to learn isn’t of utility of you. If it was, you’d remember it. Part of it is the fact that you’re a NEET that’s spent the last 4 years doing things of little significance every single day that you end up ejected from memory the next day. Now the problem is that you’ve made the conscious decision to actually do something useful with your life and learn something but your mind still remains in the habit of discarding most of the information you acquire during the day. It doesn’t distinguish between Quantum Field Theory and the retarded YouTube videos you consume. So what’s the solution? Keep doing whatever it is you’re trying to learn. Eventually your subconscious will catch up and realise that this thing is of importance to you and retain it. Why in the fuck you expected your brain to instantly retain information after 4 years of giving it no reason to do so, I don’t know. You’ve also chosen to try and learn Physics, so good luck trying to trigger a mechanism that’s evolved to ensure your physical survival by doing Lagrangian Mechanics, it won’t be easy. Maybe learn to code, you’ll be introduced to a lot of mathematics and possibly some physics. The idea of acquiring an employable skill along the way might do the trick. But at the end of the day the point is that you need skin in the game to have any hope of learning something of of even remote difficulty. You’re only option is to stick with it and figure out what the best LARP for getting you to learn is given how you’re wired. Good luck anon.
