🌿 Strategies for Learning mega thread 👇
One of the most helpful lenses to look at Learning is through Bloom's Taxonomy. Each layer is a different phase of Mastery. (Below, I'll mention tips for every layer.)
There are so many techniques beyond spaced repetition...

I want The Sims for work.
Like Slack, I'll leave the app open all day. I have a house, which I decorate (free to play, IAP). Proximity chat means if you want to chat with me, you walk over to my house and we have a meeting

Also, asking someone to “jump on a call” often means I haven’t thought it through.
Instead, I’ve been writing up a 1 pager and sending it along with an Otter voice message.
Benefits are:
Deeper thinking
More convenient
Fewer meetings
Why do many people default to "let's jump on a call"?
No, let's keep things asynchronous until we can't.

2. low rates
3. pent up demand
4. remote-work enabled exodus
5. american optimism
6. it's not really a depression
7. fomo
8. lack of alpha
9. bailout beliefs
10. inflation scare

9. Bailout beliefs: a perception that bailouts will protect prices. If the pandemic gets worse, then the gov/fed will issue more stimulus and unemployment
both of which keep people in their homes, which protect prices *and*
inflate the currency, driving house prices up

10. Inflation scare / fiat concerns: free money means value protection for hard assets
"How can you not like a hard asset - that you can shelter your family in - that's denominated in USD, which does nothing but perpetually lose value?"
Do I have to say it again? Bitcoin solves this.
But also, if RE were denominated in BTC, it would be far less popular.
How can you not like a hard asset that you can shelter your family in that's denominated in an asset (USD) that does nothing but perpetually lose value?

I want a Minecraft audio chat plugin that adjusts the volume of each participant according to how close they are to me.
We could use it for online events where folks naturally split into small groups

This is perfect - spacial audio and video chat.
If you’re close, you can see and speak. The audio fades as you walk away.

Asking how a homeschooled child will learn to be socialized feels like an inmate asking how you can learn respect without going to prison
Home schooled children in Australia have better grades and are as socially engaged as other children. phys.org/news/2019-04-homesc…

“In public school, kids are socialized by other kids. [Its the] Blind leading the blind.”
The most bizarre argument against homeschooling is that kids need public school to be "socialized." Evidence from our culture very strongly indicates that the public school socialization method has failed. In fact socialization is the best argument FOR homeschool, not against.
