Alternate method of seeking knowledge:

Google it.

Atlas, you are certainly on my ignore (should have done a long time ago).

Go fuck yourself, you are on my ignore forever.

Can you explain why this is mocking your mental health issues?
To me it looked like a throw away witticism.
But I am open to the possibility that there were more sinister connotations.
Kindly point them out.

It's dynamic, learning, don't try to go from A -> Z, I suggest, build dynamically, and rebuild things when assumptions are proven wrong or previously concluded things were wrong. Sometimes go backwards from Z -> A even, or some in the middle and work from both directions.

2. Gather what you know for certain and work from there.

3. Don't rely on conjecture to guess further conjecture, don't rely on probability that is guessed to further probe probability of other things that come back to verify the probability of things that you relied to guess in the first place.

4. Don't keep hitting the same type of box and don't limit your paradigm, don't limit answers to a certain set when seeking answers to questions.

5. Question your bias, and challenge it, never assume you don't have one, and so work with negatively trying to go against your bias as well.

6. Re-question even things you take for granted and are sure are true, try to disprove them, you may find you acknowledge so much more that verify those things you question, and are working with whole of known facts that you have not articulated that actually prove those things. This is a safe zone as well, because when seeking to disprove them you are only doing it for the sake of establishing arguments for it as you are sure of the facts anyways.

7.  There is seldom anything or any knowledge, that doesn't some how connect back through some interlinks of topics, to any subject.  Don't dismiss something unrelated just because they are in a different category of subject by your assumptions and terms.

8.  Never give up what is certain for a conjecture, no matter who says, how much people agree on it, or how much it is praised and glorified by society, never give up on what you know for certain for what is doubtful.

9. Know when to stop doubting. Doubting is useful in that it seeks to challenge what we thinks is true, but at a certain point, it needs to stop doubting, because if doubt applies equally to things you should be certain of to things you should not, certainty and knowledge become unattainable.

10. Teach what you know and don't teach conjecture. If you teach what you know, it becomes firmer knowledge and you become an expert. If you teach conjecture, conjecture becomes your passion and central focus, and you become pole of irrationality but may talk like you know what you at talking about.

11.  Go from many doors and don't aim to prove or disprove just one thing. Even concepts that may seem so strange to you, don't dismiss them if you don't know they are wrong.   And seek to find out from a plethora of subjects and doors and keep learning.

12. If something seems not interesting to you, don't close your ears to it. It maybe there is a lot of wisdom and application in what seems boring and it maybe become exciting once you know the subject, and don't solely seek knowledge in what your interested in.  This way,  knowledge that you gain and continue to grow is will not simply be a matter of taste.

13. Don't keep looping by the same evidence if something is inconclusive, seek different evidence, different outlooks, don't just loop the same arguments and counter arguments.

14. Leave your comfort zone sometimes, but come back to it to stay with what you know.

15. Don't quote people so much, put things in your own words, when trying to propagate an idea.

Not sure why teaching what you know (your #10) has any part in this list at all.  Maybe wait to teach until you think you've found something, keeping in mind that others will think they too have found things and not be overly eager to toss that aside just because you've got some teaching to do.

Yeah it was purely funny without anything disparaging directed at MK in particular so far as I could tell.

Yeah, well, when people bring up my mental health issues I show them a paper from a doctor that proves it. Ha!

It pays to keep a doctor on the basement.

In university, a professor told us studies show the only time it becomes 100% guarantee memory regarding something, is when you teach it.  That is why he emphasized when we study, to make groups, and teach one another what we studied.

So if you don't want to forget and just gloss over something you learned or realized, teach it.
