Per Alan Kay, it's a pop culture; for the most part, people aren't engaging deeply with the problem.
(separately, though I think the former is the true reason: I'm not optimistic that current cogsci theories about this particular topic present many powerful ideas)

I’ll send you an email next week with a summary of a body of work I’m currently digging into.
I’m still writing it, but there’s apparently 40 years of research + hypermedia implementation of learning systems in ill-structured domains.

1/ Let's talk about how note taking can help you accelerate expertise.
Yes, I know how that sounds like.
No, this isn't hype.
There's some solid cognitive science here, and it has FASCINATING things to say about the nature of learning in messy, real world domains.
