    It’s undeniably better for memorization. But I think it has diminishing returns for comprehension.

    Perhaps it’s just my learning style. I found paying full attention to lectures instead of splitting my attention between dictating and listening, allowed me to absorb more of the material than if I went back to look at notes.

    Further, my career best final exam score was 99% on a biology final. I literally re-wrote my study notes out 7 times during the week prior. When I got the test back the following week I couldn’t recall any of the information I had memorized.

    TLDR she’s educated but had some clashes with academia and basically leans into an anti-establishment slant on everything. She’s kind of like an enlightened centrist but for science and conspiracy. She’s no broken clock, but she’s wrong on enough things that you can’t really take her at her word.

    She also doesn’t really say a lot for how long she takes to say it.
