Organized ideas are nice but the real gems are dropped in the disorder, in the stream of consciousness. Organizing always kills those gems. So, I buy and consume a lot of learning programs and stuff. The best by far, in terms of content, are the ones that are DISorganized, where the author is just speaking her mind, shooting from...
Hey, what’s up? What exactly is the AJATT (“All Japanese All The Time”) method? That question doesn’t have a short — or permanent — answer. Nor, in my opinion, should it. Why?

Forgetting and learning are just two sides of the same coin: change. Forgetting is just a form of change. If you can forget, you can change. If you can change, you can learn. I guess this must be what them experts call “neuroplasticity“. Or not. I don’t know. Not an expert here. All I know is, forgetting means that...
