    Performing a lab experiment isn’t the same as understanding the biological framework and its mechanisms. All the lab stuff you do in school is to supplement what you learned in the classroom. It’s never a substitute for reading material and the guidance of a professor. And also, who has $50 to spend on a single ingredient instead of going online and reading things for free? Might as well buy the textbooks for that price.

      Never said that. Doing it a lot does. I think you have your way of learning and cant see a path outside that. Read vs. Hands on? Why not both at the same time. If you think people are this dumb… Ok but I refuse to believe that.

        Why not both at the same time

        What do you think people do in school? Technical degrees require at least 40% of their time in the lab, and I know that’s not possible or practical for just about anyone without proper materials. Doing it solo and spending money on it is bonkers when there are so many better ways to learn. I don’t think people are stupid, but I do think it’s stupid to start learning these things that way.

          Dude, this whole “without school” thing is so silly. I think you know this site made that worthless.

            Yeah, the way you’re proposing it requires schooling. Link a video directly, or an article, or anything other than a storefront for lab ingredients.
