We will take the main points listed below and explain them in a political context:
"Superficial Learning: Memorization focuses on short-term recall rather than deep understanding of underlying principles. Students may remember formulas but not comprehend how or when to apply them."
In a political context: "Deep learning requires: Understanding regional context, knowing policy consequences, and differentiating between rhetoric and real leverage. This illustrates how superficial learning can lead to rigid, reactionary politics, while a deeper understanding opens up space for effective diplomacy and global security."
So, which school of learning will you want to follow?
Key Issues with Formula Memorization
Superficial Learning
Memorization focuses on short-term recall rather than deep understanding of underlying principles.
Students may remember formulas but not comprehend how or when to apply them.
Inhibits Problem-Solving and Reasoning
Real-world and interdisciplinary problems require flexible thinking, not blind recall.
Memorization discourages students from developing adaptive, analytical strategies.
Cognitive Overload
Requiring memorization of hundreds of formulas across disciplines increases mental burden.
This overload reduces capacity for meaningful learning and exploration.
Poor Knowledge Retention
Students tend to forget memorized formulas shortly after testing.
In contrast, conceptually grounded knowledge remains accessible and usable.
Disconnect from Scientific Practice
Scientists, engineers, and healthcare professionals use references and tools—not memorization—to solve complex problems.
Education should reflect professional practices by teaching students how to derive, interpret, and apply formulas with support resources.
Barriers to Equity and Inclusion
Memorization-heavy assessments disproportionately disadvantage students with different learning styles, backgrounds, and access to preparatory support.
Emphasizing understanding levels the playing field and promotes deeper engagement for all learners.
The current structure of undergraduate education and training for students aspiring to enter medical school appears intentionally designed to restrict access to essential knowledge.
Despite Canada's growing need for medical professionals, undergraduate programs fail to adequately prepare students for medical school admission.
The Medical College Admission Test (MCAT), which serves as a critical entry requirement, assesses content and skills that should be systematically integrated into a student’s four-year undergraduate education. However, this alignment is frequently lacking, creating barriers for otherwise capable students.
Why does Canada not change the admission system to medical schools for Canadians?
Moreover, some universities have created even more chaos by introducing a lottery entrance.
Young people die in ERs because we lack a robust medical system in Canada.
Systematic failure of young people in ER's
"Canada (Ontario) offers strong evidence that younger adults face elevated mortality risk when experiencing ED delays or leaving without being seen.
In the U.S., while direct age-specific data are lacking, similar studies report elevated risk among younger healthier adult populations after ED discharge.
Both systems show that ED crowding, long waits, and care discontinuities can lead to preventable deaths—even among younger, otherwise healthy adults."
Ignorance when information is available becomes the most dangerous attitude which is cultural but its root cause is the lack of care. The most vulnerable who are exposed to ignorance animals, women, and children.
The funny thing is that many students and people don't want to learn, but then those who do want to have limited access to libraries! Why do libraries have an imposed quota on information?
What kind of society has been built anyway?
There are many contradictions created by those who keep control, while we already know that the human body has two major nervous systems: sympathetic and parasympathetic. Each system within our body is trying to do its best work to keep the body healthy.
Yet, we have these external systems that impose controls to move the health towards sickness, why?
The level of knowledge required today is above the absolute threshold; therefore, the threshold of conscious perception must cross the subliminal perception.
Is the purpose of today's large-scale immigration set up to awaken us or to reduce our sublimal perception?
Quality relies on data, but its foundation is hypothesis testing. Therefore, courses that place the hypothesis lesson at the end are likely designed by non-specialists.
Political decisions should be guided by hypotheses and the interpretation of data, which is precisely why disciplines such as Information Technology and Artificial Intelligence were created.
Deceiving to create deception is a characteristic of those who have failed to provide value.
Thermodynamics that we already know about "Increasing disorder (or decreasing structure) on the molecular level corresponds to increasing entropy! "A higher entropy value indicates more uncertainty and a greater need for information to specify the system's state."- Why is it happening?
Media information across the world is one of the most powerful pillars supporting peace.

Why do we see such a large gap between theory and practice in all areas, but mostly in the project/program management environment?
Companies hire resources with certifications and degrees, etc. yet most projects fail to meet delivery time, are over budget, don't meet quality requirements, etc.
So, why is it happening?
We must return to the design phase of current societies, and we must apply while learning about the differences between Nature and humans in a quality environment.
Let's remember that in an orthogonal design, the estimation effect of any factor is unaffected by (independent of) other factors.
This is a visual representation of the "product" life when "we" it is a "high pressure and temp" using response surface methodology (RSM).
The ideal conditions: The peak (maximum life) occurs near Temperature = 75°C and Pressure = 150 psi.
What do we try to prove? All banks, financial institutions, schools, politicians, etc. have the tools available to ensure that everyone has a quality of life!
