Destin from Smarter Every Day shares with us the “The Backwards Brain Bicycle” experiment that he conducted and it’s fascinating to watch. Once you learn how to ride a bike your brain creates an algorithm that stores the process so even if years go by without riding a bike you can quickly pick it up again. Trying to ride a bike that is rigged backwards though requires unlearning and reprogramming your brain and this isn’t easy. The revelation that Knowledge is not Understanding is a good lesson to remember in life.
