I believe that I am a deep thinker, but I also have this problem where I am chronically lazy, so I always end up never trying to learn anything. I just note down important words in my head, file them away, and end up being average at everything I do or slightly below because I never try to understand things properly.

I’ve noticed that I have on and off days where I’m really thinking deeply and some I’m just not there. It always showed in English lessons

Learning how to learn is so important. The worst part is, middle-schools where I live do offer this, but at that time you don't think you would ever need it. I think the most important thing is for someone to be able to notice this with the child and guide them towards it early enough so they don't hit that wall. I went from hitting the wall, failing constantly and it actually affected my metal well-being into going into 88% with multiple 95-100% scores in subjects I really like.

If you haven’t figured out that excellence, within a shallow system, is only template matching and parroting… if you haven’t figured that out by now… calling yourself a deep thinker: is just not that deep. 👌

It’s funny. I always described learning curves as a ramp of collecting a bunch of information on a new topic, then working hard to connect it to what I know, then building, but this hard wall I had always attributed to understanding what I understand but not understanding how to ask the next right question to unlock the next curve of learning. That was my explanation for the plateau. The ramp at the beginning is slow, it builds quickly to a plateau, and then I have to come back later when I’ve acquired knowledge in some other (often adjacent) area in order to move further.

The transition challenge burnout is a consistent pattern for me looking back.

DoNotNeed :
• y-axis : Represents density or maximum/minimum • Z-axis as Variation: Suggestion the Z-axis represents variation in a three-dimensional context. • Maximum and Minimum Concept: Question, if the phrase “everything has a maximum and a minimum” is used, is it effectively able to convey the idea of a deep thinker strategy…?

I think this group fit my learning behaviour. His analysis fairly accurate, when you quick to learn you don’t really need a strategy, but that doesn’t mean you don’t naturally develop one. Peak for me is around college, after that things just aren’t challenged in life. There are things in life to learn, that don’t need much mental work.
