Random thoughts on learning, part 1

Open source thoughts for sale - You have learned nothing until you have learned a process.

I envision this project as recursive process of learning which I will improve after every iteration as my understanding grows.

I think that this learning project has to address several questions of interest:
What is it to learn? What should we learn? How should we study each relevant subject? How does our memory system work? How do we motivate ourselves to continue our study? How do we know we are learning?

Learning is not just about learning efficiently - it is about learning what to learn and what not to learn. One cannot learn everything for we have very limited lifespans. So the relevant question in learning is question how to learn to learn what to learn. We should have good view of what we can know about each relevant subject - we should decide based on our understanding what to learn next and we should understand our decision making process.
