About Life Long Learning
Challenging Traditional Education
Life Long Learning was founded on the principle that education needs to evolve to meet the demands of our rapidly changing world. We believe learning should be personalized, practical, and passion-driven rather than confined to standardized tests and rigid curricula.
Our organization brings together educators, entrepreneurs, and innovators who are reimagining what education can be. We host workshops, develop alternative learning programs, and advocate for systemic change in education policy.
Through our global network, we've helped thousands of learners discover alternative paths to success that align with their unique talents and aspirations.
Moses Dorbor
Founder & Visionary
A revolutionary thinker and education disruptor, Moses Dorbor has dedicated his life to transforming how we learn. His groundbreaking ideas challenge conventional wisdom and inspire new approaches to education worldwide.
Biological Reality
Chronic stress from cognitive overload damages the hippocampus - the brain's learning center. Studies show students under constant academic pressure have 14% smaller hippocampal volume. The solution? "Spaced learning" with regular breaks enhances memory consolidation.
Nietzsche's Warning
"Infinite pursuit of knowledge without joy crushes the spirit." Modern neuroscience confirms this - dopamine (the motivation neurotransmitter) only releases when learning feels rewarding. Forced memorization without intrinsic motivation literally starves the brain of learning chemicals.
Structured Persuasion
Well-organized curricula can enlighten or manipulate. The same rhetorical structures that make Shakespeare profound also make propaganda effective. Critical thinking isn't natural - it must be consciously cultivated through exposure to competing narratives.
Abstract Playgrounds
Fields like quantum physics thrive on uncertainty. The most groundbreaking discoveries occur when scientists embrace "productive confusion." Schools often punish ambiguity, yet Nobel laureates report their breakthroughs emerged from tolerating paradox.
The Knowledge Paradox
More learning reveals more knowledge gaps. This "expert's dilemma" explains why PhD students often feel increasingly ignorant. The healthiest mindset? View education as mapping shorelines of an infinite cognitive continent - the more you explore, the vaster the unknown.
The Innovation Myth
Most innovation combines existing ideas. Research shows 90% of patents remix previous concepts. Yet schools reward "originality" over synthesis. The most creative minds are expert "knowledge chefs" who combine ingredients in new ways.
Neurological Crossroads
Uncertainty triggers amygdala hyperactivity (fear center) and prefrontal cortex shutdown (reasoning center). But brief, structured uncertainty - like debate exercises - strengthens neural pathways for cognitive flexibility. The sweet spot? 17 minutes of productive struggle before resolution.
The Finnish Formula
15-minute recesses every hour boost performance. Finland's education system (ranked #1 globally) proves that cognitive downtime isn't wasted time. Neural networks consolidate learning during rest periods, making spaced practice 23% more effective than marathon sessions.
Intellectual Jiu-Jitsu
Argue against your own beliefs. The "steel-man" technique (strengthening opposing views before refuting them) develops 3x more cognitive flexibility than standard debate. This mental cross-training builds anti-fragile thinking.
Assessment Revolution
Grade hypothesis revision skills. Stanford researchers found evaluating how students update beliefs with new evidence predicts real-world success better than test scores. This "Bayesian learning" approach mirrors how knowledge evolves in practice.
The Forgetting Curve
Students forget 70% of new information within 24 hours. But spaced repetition at increasing intervals (1-2-4-8 days) can reduce forgetting to just 10%. This neurological law explains why cramming fails and distributed practice succeeds.
The Mozart Effect Myth
While music temporarily enhances spatial reasoning, the real "Mozart effect" is perseverance. Musicians' brains show superior executive function from disciplined practice - not innate talent. This applies to all domains: grit trumps giftedness.
Neuroplasticity's Dark Side
The brain adapts to poor teaching methods. Chronic multiple-choice testing physically rewires neural pathways toward binary thinking. fMRI scans show students taught through open-ended questions maintain more complex cognitive networks.
The Bilingual Advantage
Switching between languages builds cognitive reserve. Bilingual adults delay Alzheimer's symptoms by 4-5 years on average. This "mental gymnastics" strengthens the brain's executive control system - benefits that extend to all learning.
The Testing Effect
Retrieval practice (self-testing) boosts long-term retention by 50% compared to re-studying. Yet most students avoid this powerful technique. Frequent low-stakes quizzes create "desirable difficulty" that solidifies learning.
The Curiosity Peak
Learning retention soars 74% when preceded by curiosity induction (posing intriguing questions). Dopamine-enhanced states make the brain more permeable to information. Strategic mystery beats forced memorization every time.
Redefining Education
The Paradoxes of Education
Education illuminates yet obscures, empowers yet burdens. It structures knowledge while revealing infinite unknowns, creating tension between certainty and curiosity that both inspires and stresses the mind. True learning navigates these dualities through critical thinking, tolerance for ambiguity, and balanced intellectual habits.
Fun Facts
- 65% of children entering primary school today will work in jobs that don't yet exist
- The average person changes careers 5-7 times during their working life
- Many Nobel Prize winners were originally considered poor students
- Self-taught individuals often outperform traditionally educated peers in creative fields
Did You Know?
- Richard Branson, Steve Jobs, and Mark Zuckerberg all left formal education early
- Finland, with shorter school days and less homework, consistently ranks #1 in education
- Many tech companies no longer require college degrees for most positions
- Hands-on apprenticeships often lead to higher earnings than university degrees
Abstract
"The traditional education system, designed for the industrial age, fails to prepare learners for the complexities of the 21st century. Our research shows that success increasingly depends on adaptability, creativity, and practical skills rather than standardized test scores..."

Schooling
What is Schooling?
Schooling is often misunderstood by the general public. At LLL, we are here to tell you what you were never told: Schooling is the repetitive act of a person waking up at a particular time, getting ready to go or stay in a particular place, and waiting to be taught a specific thing — theoretical or practical.
Many students engage in schooling not necessarily to learn. Some come to campus mainly to:
- Find and build new friendships.
- Enjoy facilities like Wi-Fi, entertainment, sports, or cafés.
- Create content for social media or personal branding.
- Belong to a group or community for identity and social presence.
- Interact with foreigners for exposure and experiences.
- Seek sponsorships or financial aid opportunities.
Such individuals may continue "schooling" at the university but their real growth happens outside the classroom. Eventually, they might even drop schooling altogether to pursue their business full time — becoming wealthy and influential through the knowledge and experience gained along the way.
Learning
What is Learning?
Learning is also often misunderstood. It is the gaining of knowledge about one or multiple topics through various means — theoretical or practical. However, schooling can sometimes interfere with learning.
True learning is not limited by location, titles, or certificates. It can happen in classrooms, on the street, in books, through conversations, experiences, failures, and real-world practice.
Learning can be:
- Intentional — through study, training, or mentorship.
- Unintentional — through experience, mistakes, or observation.
- Collaborative — by working with others, sharing ideas, and building solutions.
- Independent — through self-study and exploration.
Learning should be prioritized over schooling because many students claim to be learning but are just schooling — attending classes, enjoying the environment, making new friends, and engaging in activities without gaining real knowledge or applicable skills.
At LLL, we help you understand the importance of learning — not just schooling — to succeed in this rapidly changing era. This is not about gaining certificates or degrees but acquiring knowledge that cannot be destroyed or stolen. This is not a myth; it is a true doctrine.

I am proud to be in this position of this challenging movement full of technical critical and reasoning individuals of progressive developing resolutions, having said this I am still appealing to all LLL members to push beyond the bounds of your current knowledge not necessarily via traditional education.
but we need to learn, learn and keep learning as long as our adversaries will not stop learning.
This is is just an unusual motivation, I appreciate the fact that we are in this together, as long as it is considered a "Life Long" process.
