Feeding Hope with Hebbian Learning
Have you come across Hebbian learning? This is the idea that to really learn something, you need to be exposed to what you wish to learn many times and in many different ways – such that it really stinks in. It is not enough to hear something once or to read something just once and expect it to stick. No, we need to be exposed to the same ideas in different ways in different formats – reading, hearing and direct experiencing. And then in time it will stay and you will really know it. Well, this is what I am trying to do with depression – so you really get it.
