Learning has often been compared to an ever ascending spiral, as in the process of learning you often return to the same subjects again and again, with new understandings of them from the other things you have learned, and with the capacity to explore new levels of them and learn new things from them. From my own research, I find this view is fairly accurate, and I do find myself traversing the same subjects again and again even at times when I think I'm exploring something new.

After coming back to the subject of how humans learn through the subject of logical reasoning this time, rather than through theories of education like last time, I have this observation to make on the matter: Ascending the spiral of knowledge feels an awful lot like getting flushed at times.

That is all.
