29: Learning new skills

Listen Later

Dan and James talk about how they learn new things.

Some of the topics discussed:

  • Internet memes
  • Consolidating old ideas rather than learning new ones
  • Why learn a new skill when you just get someone else to do it?
  • A lesson of not having a good understanding statistical software...
  • James and Dan butt heads about meta-analysis (again)
  • Learning new things is interesting
  • How did people learn things before the internet?
  • How to follow things on Twitter without being on Twitter
