> And most importantly you have to write. A lot. Writing allows our brain to structure our thinking.

Not to be pedantic, but I’d still argue that thinking is the most important. At least when understanding the nature of learning. I mean, writing is ultimately great because it facilitates high quality thinking. You essentially say this yourself.

Overall, I think it’s more helpful to understand the learning process as promoting high quality thinking (encoding if you want to be technical). This sort of explains why teaching others, argumentation, mind-mapping, good note-taking, and other activities and techniques are great for learning as well.
