Reply To: Would you have learned differently in yeshiva/kollel in hindsight

The concept of “learning how to learn” does not really work. If the only real learning means spending 6-8 hours a day for a month to learn one amud of gemarah is real learning then what happens for the rest of your life? There is very little justification for that especially since gedolim all around have decried such learning as not accomplishing. It is indeed a terrible thing if guys walk out of kollel after many years and don’t know more than the first few blatt in six meschtos but claim to “know how to learn”. How can you claim to know how to learn if you didn’t do it?
