Enjoyed this essay - the format and thoroughness of language, as well as the ideas. The examples of Snapchat and the WWW (and perhaps the math proofs) seem to suggest the unwitting moulding of personal values and goals - maybe more than the shaping of mere understanding(?)

Great trial in this new direction. A must read. Next q: how to enable deep processing? Spaced repetition flashcards make pieces more accessible to working mem, but the real work comes in (re-)chunking/processing, mental model building/iteration. Houses out of bricks.

@codebar because I needed interaction as much as time to focus and explore. My father however, learned from reading books. Maybe one should study themselves then, select an appropriate medium.
