Reddit comment reading, "Since I tend to get bored from just absorbing information from other sources, I tend to take a first principles self-directed approach to my learning. I am more curious to find out the answers myself. I don't think it is always a bad thing. You just need to make sure that when you are finished, you cross reference your answers with the literature (GPT-4 is good for this), and then decide if your conclusions are more or less likely. Sometimes you find things that others missed."
