I say yes. This is the difference between learning the ‘Philosophy’ how to quote deep stuff with names like Wittgenstein and Nietzsche and just learning stuff about reality that is just obvious. Once the knowledge is there is shouldn’t seem remarkable at all.
For me at least this is one of the most important factors when evaluating a learning source. Is the information I’m learning simple in retrospect or is it a bunch of complicated rote learning. If the latter, is there a good reason related to complexity in the actual world that requires me to be learning complex arbitrary things?
