FI Learning

For learning with practice. Posts are not private and could end up on Bing.

Using FI Basecamp

The main goal at FI Basecamp is for people to actually do learning activities (aka projects).

People read books and articles and it makes some sense, but learning the stuff well requires practice and other organized activities. This applies to everything, but especially to complex, abstract, advanced stuff like philosophy.

Stuff that people should still read a month from now should go in the Docs section. (Make a folder with your name and put your docs in there to keep things organized. But you don't need to use Docs.)

Medium duration stuff should go on the Message Board. That's where most posts should go.

Short, quick, minor, optional stuff can go in the Chatroom. Assume even regular, active users might just randomly miss where what you said in Chatroom (whereas with a Message Board post, you'd expect an active reader to see the title and make an intentional choice about whether to read it or not.)

The Automatic Check-ins and To-dos can help you keep on track with getting stuff done. To-dos are for breaking a project into tasks and keeping track of what's finished and what's left. To help keep things organized, start the name of your To-do list with your name in brackets like [Elliot].

 People read books and articles and it makes some sense, but learning it the stuff well requires practice and other organized activities. 

so you can read something and be like "oh ya that makes sense i understand it", but you dont actually know how to use it. you dont know to which cases it would apply.

you need to practice it to see if you understand it. if you tried to use it on a hard thing then you would fail, so that tells you that you are to bad at it to use it for hard things.

you need goals to be able to tell what a failure or success is.

other ppl can help figure out whether or not you understand something by criticizing your use of it.

i was gonna write more, but then it started getting to hard to write more, so i gave up on writing more for now. i am fine with that.

Is there a mistake in this sentence? Shouldn't it be either:
  • People read books and articles and it makes some sense, but learning it well requires practice and other organized activities.
or
  • People read books and articles and it makes some sense, but learning the stuff well requires practice and other organized activities.

but learning it the stuff well requires practice and other organized activities.

I tried to think at what stuff did I become world class at and there isn't any. It makes sense to me that becoming good at something requires practice. I became decent at maths (take calculus 1 for example) but I didn't make any organized activity plan for it. A syllabus for the course was defined and that was the goal. Become good at solving these kinds of problem and that's it.

How does planning organized activities help in becoming good at reason?

Edit: I just found a message board called why do projects? Please ignore this message as I will move any questions related to why do projects on that message board.

Yes it was a typo. I edited it.

A syllabus is an organized activity plan. Someone else organized that learning for you.
