What sort of techniques do people use to ascend understanding?
Writing sounds like a good method, but do others exist?
I think writing and teaching work because it forces you to express the idea in your own way.
It’s easy to think you know something because you can quote others on the topic.
I find that trying to relate the concept to something else I level 2 − 3 understand is sometimes useful.
I’m starting to learn rationality, and I’d like to level 3 understand it, and if anyone has some tips on how to do this I would very much appreciate it.
Writing and teaching are good. Applying the understanding at your edge is good—e.g. if you think you’ve understood something about chess, test your understanding by playing games with people slightly better than you, that sort of thing.
