Learning has always been to write things down. Just reading it seldom sticks.

Absolutely not. Learning has been to experiment with the things until you form a effective mental model of the thing. Writing things does ab-so-luetely nothing except make you feel good in the moment. Just like listening to a lecture without engaging with the subject matter deeper.

Writing things down is important for organisational persistence of information but that is something else.

[matsemann]

Choosing what to write down is making a mental model, extracting the core and thinking about the subject.

Seems to me you're just a bad note-taker that blindly writes things down, and for some reason decided to use that lack of knowledge in a tirade against me..

Writing is better than reading, but doing is better than writing.

Not sure humanity learned nothing before the last 8000 years. It was just very slow. Maybe we will need new ways to learn
