MOC: [[Learning How To Learn]] On how to find insight see Ahrens 2017, p. 24. *** You should be very picky when selecting materials to learn from, especially books and long-form content.

Should we purely rely on intuition to find out the most promising insight or can we build a system to detect insight potential? - [[How to Take Smart Notes]] indicates that following our curiosity is a great way to find insight. - Cf. another key argument from the same book: [[Expertise and intuition]] tends to suggest that as we'll get experienced in finding insight, we can rely more and more on our guts and intuition. ![[Practical vs Theoretical]]
