Thanks for the link, I think I enjoy that topic.

I say "think" because I only got this far into it:

  1. Current methods of learning are bad mmkay.
  2. People are sheep.
  3. 8 paragraphs of redundant filler.
  4. We need a new approach.

I find it a little odd that a paper on the topic takes such a dry, academic approach. Of the people who read this node, I'd bet less than 5% clicked through, and not one of those people actually read the entire essay.

A summary of the article (in less redundant terms) would be of excellent use. Knowledge, no matter how insightful, is of very limited use if it cannot be transmitted efficiently. Props to the author for getting started on it though :)
