what feynman did:

he’d grab a notebook and pick something he didn’t fully get.
instead of pretending he knew it, he’d ask himself:
“can i explain this to a kid?”

he’d write down everything he thought he knew.
then find the parts where his brain stuttered.
those spots where things felt fuzzy.

he’d circle them.
and go back to the books, lectures, or papers.
not to memorize, but to understand what he missed.

then, he’d rewrite the whole thing.
simpler. cleaner. sharper.
like he was breaking it down for a curious 12-year-old.

until he could say —
“yeah, now it makes sense.”

that’s the feynman method.
