Can you teach yourself?
#1
Can you teach yourself?
Here's my question:

Can you teach yourself things, without interacting with anything physically, or reading something, etc.

What I mean is, is it possible to teach yourself things, about something not concerning you as a person, just by thinking about it?



My personal opinion:
I feel like at first I thought this was a no brainer, because asking questions for the most part, can help you reach a conclusion, all done in your mind. Then I realized, it may be a lack of vocabulary, but I have trouble explaining how someone can gain new information without experiencing, seeing, feeling, reading, hearing, anything new.


Thoughts?
Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?

Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.

The more questions you ask, the more you realize that disagreement is inevitable, and communication of this disagreement, irrelevant.
