Are you teachable..

@Carissimi I'm also set in some ways and there is no budging.

I think I’m a decade older than you, maybe, and I became weary. I haven’t the motivation or enthusiasm for learning like I did, say 10-years ago. Also, losing a few brain cells doesn’t help. @Magenta

It would be helpful to me too, but I really don’t have the motivation. The thing with learning new things (like when I was learning Devanagari script, Spanish, German, and Portuguese), I enjoyed the learning part, but not using it, I lost a lot of what I knew. I think, “what’s the point of learning something, when I won’t use it, and 12-months later, I can’t remember half of it.” After two-years, I can hardly recall any of it. @Stereoguy

@Stereoguy There was a time when I could read and write like this: नमस्ते 🙏. Now I have to look it up because it’s no longer remembered.

Exactly. If you don’t use it, you tend to lose it. My son has taught me some things about my car. Problem is by the time I need to use that knowledge, a long Time has passed, and then I can’t remember what he told me.

We usually remember stuff when we learnt it young. I remember the name of the horse of Alexander the Great; Bucephalus, and that knowledge has not helped me at all in my life, but I’ve never forgotten. Just more useless info we retain from elementary school. @Stereoguy

I’d do it because that’s a fascinating topic. @Stereoguy
