Formally proved through Information theory the only way we learn is through failure because what we call success or the same outcome is not imparting any new Information it's only through some kind of contrary or inverse I e failure you know we are shooting for success the ultimate failure at least in the human realm would be death. And so given that were not were shooting for the opposite of that which is to continue living well that that sort of repetitive nis actually doesn't really impart new Information now. There is a point to be made that when we are learning that repetitive nis actually is imparting new Information by reinforcing existing neural pathways. But as with the black swan black swan effect it's only when we see a counter example that that's immense that that s essentially a test. So then we have we have these these reinforcement learning and then we have test and failure tells you something because it might just be that the test is too easy. #idea #explore #project
