Apply stimulus, observe response, analyze results, update your model; it's that simple. Sadly most of us learned to turn it off, to everyone's detriment.
And I agree with you - the American school system can reward turning off our natural thinking and learning capacity in favor of swallowing a canned curriculum. But you can also choose to learn the material on your own terms if you're precocious enough.
