Chapter 89: Input and Output

“Watch your mouth!!” Carlos’ face was filled with anger. His hand once again clutched his robe tightly, longer than before.

Cromwell snorted coldly and said, “The arbitration tribunal allows free speech, but it does not allow nonsense!”

Su Ye immediately said, “I’m sorry, Master Cromwell, I was just reacting instinctively after hearing the fallacy. In that case, I’ll talk about the essence of the Feynman technique, or rather, the essence of learning derived from Feynman technique!”

“Such arrogance!” Carlos’ right hand tightly clutched his robe.

Carlos’ teacher, Gregory, stood opposite Niedern.

Gregory’s robe seemed to be much looser than yesterday. The bottom of the robe touched the ground.

He stared at Carlos’ right hand. His eyes were like streets filled with street lights at night. And now, the bright street lights on the street were broken and extinguished one after another one.

He had known Carlos for more than five years.

Su Ye said in a clear voice, “The essence of the Feynman’s technique is not to force oneself to learn by teaching; that is just its appearance. The essence of Feynman’s technique is to complete the entire process of learning.”

“We all think that learning is reading, memorizing, listening, and at most, watching or listening over and over again. No, this is just a part of learning. I call this part the ‘input’, which is to absorb knowledge from the outside world.”

“When we answer a question, are we not taking knowledge from within? When we use magic, do we use knowledge from the inside to affect the outside? Doesn’t the ‘teaching’ part in Feynman’s techniques also start from the inside and end up outside? I name this process the ‘output’.”

“The essence of learning is the process of input and output. Input and output form a complete learning system! This is the first key point that Carlos doesn’t understand.”

Cromwell seemed to be about to speak, but Su Ye’s eyes were sharp and He quickly said loudly, “Then, why is output also a learning process? I don’t know the specific reason, but I have a deduction based on my own experience.”

Su Ye thought to himself, “Sorry, big shots of blue, I can’t mention your names and research results. Here, I can only say that it was my own deduction.”

Su Ye continued, “I don’t know if you all have the same feeling that after you’ve heard or read an important piece of knowledge, and you felt that you’ve understood it, but just a short while later you realize that you misunderstood it? Or perhaps when you need it, you realized that you can’t use it?”

Many people nodded gently, including their teachers.

“I believe that when we receive ‘input’, that is, when we listen and watch, it is ‘Other People’s things’ that enter our brain. If we don’t think and don’t use these ‘Other People’s things’, in order to save energy, our brain will deceive us and pretend to understand. In this way, it is no different from learning a ‘new noun’; It is thousands of miles away from ‘understanding’!”

“When we have to output, our brain will ‘organize’, ‘select’, ‘combine’, ‘order, ‘compare’, ‘link’, and perform series of complicated processes. If we can’t output and get stuck, what’s the reason? It’s that we don’t understand it! Only when we understand can we output. What if we don’t understand? Feynman’s technique will allow us to learn and understand again. This is the second important point that Carlos doesn’t understand.”

“If teaching is the true act of ‘forcing’, it isn’t forcing us to learn it again. Instead, it will force our brains to think on their own initiative!”

The ordinary mages did not feel anything. The three masters sitting at the highest seats were deep in thought, forgetting that this was an arbitration meeting.

They had not expected Su Ye to explain this method from this angle.

The ordinary mages did not understand, but they knew very well that deep thinking about every piece of knowledge was one of the keys to their growth. They or other masters were used to indulging in thinking about certain things.

However, they did not know how to teach this method to others, because every teacher incessantly nagged their students to think. Many students did not believe it, did not understand it, and did not do it.

In fact, many teachers didn’t even know how to take the initiative to think deeply.

If Feynman’s technique really forced the brain to think, then this method wouldn’t only be suitable for ordinary people; it might even be suitable for saints or even legends. In other words, it might become a saint-level or even a legend-level theory.

Arriving at this thought, all the masters suddenly raised their heads to look at Su Ye.

A second-year student had come up with a saint-level theory?

This was a historical first in all of the Nations!

Even Aristotle, who was the envy of all mages, had come up with his first gold-level theory only in the fifth grade.

Su Ye was somewhat stunned. Why were these masters looking at him with such complicated gazes? It was as if there was envy, recognition, joy, but also a bit of vigilance, wariness, and even jealousy.

“Did I say something wrong? No, I have to be humble,” Su Ye thought.

Su Ye coughed lightly, “I have a feeling that Feynman’s technique is far more powerful than I imagined. As for why it is so effective, there will be different explanations from different angles and in different fields. Perhaps, after some in-depth research by the masters, there will be new discoveries.”

In fact, there were some things that were inconvenient to say, such as the relationship between language and the brain, etc. Su Ye did not mention them.

The eyes of all the masters lit up.

Not only the masters of Plato Academy, even Cromwell, a master of the noble faction, suddenly took out their magic books and kept tapping with their fingers.

All the members of the Magic Council had a subtle change in expression when they saw this scene. However, when they saw that the three masters had already made their moves, they did not move.

The three masters had discovered a new theory and were prepared to participate in the research of this new theory.

If they were able to produce significant results, obtaining the Mana source badge would be secondary. Immortality would be even more important. If it could help them advance to legend rank, they would pay any price.

Saint-level masters desired to advance to legend rank even more strongly than the children in the slums who were about to starve to death desired bread.

The mages looked at Su Ye.

If this method was really effective and the masters came up with some new results, even if the results weren’t very ground-breaking, it would be equivalent to owing Su Ye a favor.

However, the prerequisite was that this method was effective.

The prerequisite was that no one else had any designs on this method.

What if, for the sake of a new theory, someone teamed up with Carlos to seize the title of the first author…?

Niedern felt his heart tremble. He looked at Cromwell and saw a faint smile on the corner of Cromwell’s mouth. He felt his heart being grabbed by a big hand from the Abyss and dragged down abruptly.

Niedern stared at the big chair and kept winking at it.

The big chair did not move.

Niedern looked helplessly at Gregory. His gaze moved. He did not expect his expression to be so ugly. Could it be that he had seen through something?

Niedern turned to look at Carlos. Carlos did not seem to be too different. He was just a little nervous, his right hand gripping his robes. This was normal. However, Carlos seemed to be a little absent-minded. He was thinking about something.
