The philosophy of philososphy: how do we learn/study?
Have you ever considered what is the fundamental process of learning itself?
Not to be confused with neurological processes.
What makes an answer wrong or right.
Why questions tell you more about a subject than the answer.
Why biases and assumptions can lead to logical flaws.
Do you have a set process for such things?
Or has it always the process you grew up with and never looked at?

I have. What we learn must be something new, but not entirely unforeseen. It must either fill a gap in an already existing coherent structure of thought; or else completely overturn such a structure and its presuppositions. And wanting to learn is not enough. Sometimes the learning most needed is the one not wanted.
Have you ever thought about the differences between assumptions and logic where one may have used assumptions as filler to such "gap in an already existing coherent structure of thought" where it can lead to false belief/answers?

Hehe, the year I was born.
While I was researching the fundamentals of learning I came across a bias that is so common you could even call it humanities dystopian philosophy.
Would you like to hear it and do you think its better suited in a different post?
