A great way to learn something is to listen to a conversation among two to four well informed and articulate people, where each person has a memorable personality and each person has a different perspective about the topic.
This Google Illuminate experiment shows how just listening to two voices discuss a technical paper for three minutes is far more effective than reading a three-minute AI summary of the paper.
Imagine if there were three or four voices, with varied personalities, more humor and sarcasm, different priorities and points of view, and even a little disagreement.
Then imagine you're not just listening to the conversation, but you're participating in it. That seems like a pretty amazing way to learn.
- jmcmaster 2y agoI have a nonfiction draft built on conversations between 4 friends. Started as a regular nonfiction book but quickly realized the desired mainstreet audience would never read it. I created personas (as in UX style goal-directed design personas) to describe each character’s background, POV, goals, expertise, values, concerns and questions. Different than anything else I’ve ever written. Still very rough but rewarding.
