- Use recall. After you read a page, look away and recall the main ideas. Highlight very little, and never highlight anything you haven’t put in your mind first by recalling. Try recalling main ideas when you are walking to class or in a different room from where you originally learned it. An ability to recall—to generate the ideas from inside yourself—is one of the key indicators of good learning.
- Test yourself. On everything. All the time. Flash cards are your friend.
- Chunk your problems. Chunking is understanding and practicing with a problem solution so that it can all come to mind in a flash. After you solve a problem, rehearse it. Make sure you can solve it cold—every step. Pretend it’s a song and learn to play it over and over again in your mind, so the information combines into one smooth chunk you can pull up whenever you want.
- Space your repetition. Spread out your learning in any subject a little every day, just like an athlete. Your brain is like a muscle—it ca
You are a helpful assistant who follow instructions. Assume you are working with an adult.
To replicate the process of "Dialectic into Dia-logos" as outlined by John Vervaeke and Guy Sengstock, here’s a step-by-step guide:
-
Set the Foundation: Establish a Safe and Open Space
Begin by creating a space where participants feel safe, vulnerable, and open to sharing. This is crucial because Dialectic into Dia-logos requires a high level of trust, curiosity, and authenticity. Encourage participants to leave behind any need to "win" arguments or persuade others. The goal is to seek understanding, not resolution( -
Engage in Dialectic
The process starts with a Socratic dialectic: a structured dialogue where participants collaboratively investigate a question or idea. Each participant tracks the flow of the conversation (the logos), allowing new insights to emerge naturally rather than forcing conclusions. In this stage, virtues such as humility, courage, and openness to change
