Anyway lol, I think Ministeve made the most interesting point, and one I'm annoyed I didn't think of
We only "learn" what we need to at the time. We probably receive a colossal amount of information everyday, and some of it would be useful to use later in life, or even later that day; but seeing as we don't know we need to learn, or even file it away in a corner of our brains, the information is just lost.
Is this because we only use 10% of our brains? Or is our method of learning/storing information flawed.
Think about how long it takes a child to grow up and be classified as an adult, the law says 18. but for a child to survive on its own, with no help fro man adult, children as young as 5 or 6 have been confirmed homeless and living on the streets.
An average we could say of 10 years old.
We as animals, take a long time from birth to reach adulthood.
This, in my opinion, means that we are slowing down evolution-wise, and our learning methods are possibly flawed.
What can we do about this?
