Are we taught NOT to think?!

The next video after this is here: https://youtu.be/pNuKMhE4Yz0?si=pOFv9q6PiB7gjC3i Ok, this is a weird thing to say! You're being taught SO much stuff you can hardly keep it all in your head... so what on earth am I referring to? It's called Learned Helplessness, and it's when we 'teach' someone (indirectly), that they aren't able to do things on their own, the stuff they do is wrong, not good enough, and so they stop TRYING to do it themselves, and rather WAIT until someone gives them the right info or answer... because it's less risky, it's safer, they don't 'fail', they don't look stupid... Sound familiar? Take a look at the example I give from the workplace... and give some thought to your studying... Also, here's an interesting video with a common psychology experiment that shows how quickly you can 'create' helplessness in someone... https://youtu.be/gFmFOmprTt0 It's fascinating... and SCARY!
