One of the best ways to build a long term memory is to explain it to another person. This activates the most areas of your brain, as you force yourself to understand it, to organize your thoughts, find a context that makes it meaningful to the other person, and figure out how to communicate it all to another mind.

I hope we’re through this section. There’s been a lot of redundant information(I understand why. Some people need it to understand how this works), and you’re doing incredibly for an area that’s not of your expertise, but it’s not as…awesome as when you’re really in the zone with the comic.

  I think it feels longer than it is because the gaps between strips have been rather long lately. I’m sure there’s a good reason for it, but it makes it seem like more pages than it actually is.

I stumbled upon this comic a few months ago, give or take a week; and It has to be one of the most fascinating subjects I’ve read in my life. I constantly catch myself going back to the beginning because there’s just so much to learn.

Thank you for posting all this. It’s really helped.

A sort of meta-comment: If students would make comics, like these, about the material they’re trying to learn, they would do so much better in courses!
