THE FEYNMAN
TECHNIQUE 2.0
The Illusion of Competence
In 2026, it is easy to feel smart. You ask AI a question, it gives an answer, and you nod. "I know this now."
Wrong. You recognized the answer; you did not generate it. This is the "Illusion of Competence." To truly learn, you must close the book (or the chatbot) and explain it yourself.
/// THE SIMPLIFICATION TEST
Type a complex concept you are trying to learn. Hit Analyze.
Step 2: The 5-Year-Old Test
If you used words like "Paradigm," "Synergy," or "Infrastructure," you failed. Richard Feynman believed complexity is a mask for ignorance.
Once you strip away the jargon, what is left? Usually, the truth.
💡 Note to self:
To learn fast, you must first clear your schedule.
