But don’t forget, our brain is limited to some extent and won’t be able to hold that amount of information. You’ll live to a thousand years, but you’ll probably only vividly remember the last five decades, and some smatterings from the pa

Huh, I half-agree with other commentators that the list is almost like a joke. On the other hand, it’s starting the startup conversation here again. The startup world is not exactly at its peak now; less rags-to-riches save-the-world storie

Why not effective Internet safety education and a bunch of apps that block NSFW, set time limit etc? (An AI bot that hovers in one corner and highlights and teaches not-OK content, maybe ..?) IMO a safe children’s social network is a bit of

Hmm it’s true that we’re mostly familiar with what problems need to be solved. And yet it’s either high failure rate or too little effort to address them. So I see the key being the founding team. I know that that is repeated ad nauseum,

I think a mix of 1:1 tutoring and student collaboration is the best deal. No data, but when I worked in a primary school with high % of school meal children, the literacy rate was noticeably higher when there were more literacy specialists

I thought I had read the post before. Thank you for the insights, and I hope that you can do that follow-up! One thing not mentioned which I think is important is the ease of paying (whether the edtech is app or web-based). It’s all very

Well, there’s also the dodgy adverts that occasionally interrupt the video.. I saw how at my local primary school, kids were happily jumping up and down to a song and suddenly there’s a chocolate advert. Imo the safest way to let kids brows

Genuine question. Are there actual large, profitable companies which are tax responsible? I.e. companies that follow ethical accounting practices to minimise their tax and none of the dodgy off-shoring stuff

No what’s creepy is that we’ve got enough surveillance from social media and CCTV, now it’s in our workplace too. That’s most of our day. Sheesh, these people need to get a life Edit: typo

Now that surveillance is getting cleverer, the question is, how do we know if we’re being monitored? How can we tell which companies practice surveillance?

Thanks everyone for the high quality responses, really made my day. I’m going to attempt to systemise all the suggestions made, and try out those that suit me best. And good luck with your learning projects! So humbling to see that many of

Thank you for this. I have a lifetime plan (goodness knows how many years that will be) but I know for sure that I want to leave while knowing that I tried to understand. This may be why I want to learn everything, but this may also be ju

Ooh this I can relate. My projects are nowhere as heavy as yours, and even when I attempt to set milestones, I find that I rebel against them in very creative ways. I’ve learnt to be ‘flexible’ instead. It’s a matter of slow-training yourse

This is interesting as I’m attempting to replicate a normal school’s curriculum. At school, we often take 4-6 subjects a day, which I now realise is the aspect I enjoyed most, and missed terribly at university. But now, it’s not so easy wit

This is really awesome, thank you for starting the project. When I research for a learning plan, I often look at other people’s learning plans for guidance. Then as I go through the plan, I adjust accordingly. I like that the learning plans

Can you expand a little bit more on this please? Did you gradually trained yourself to focus more?

Very sound advice, thank you. It’s as you said, more organisation is the simple answer but it’s quite an effort to get there. Making progress slowly though.. > one of the attributes that has helped him the most is his ability to efficie

This is the dilemma that I have, I have a burning desire to do everything. Actually I had eight ( eight! ) projects, and naturally found it overwhelming. Finally got the list down to (about) three, but it’s still mentally-taxing to switch b

Are you the owner of learn-anything? I like how the pathways are mapped out like a tree. It’s great for guidance, but isn't taking the time to figure out your own learning pathway also beneficial? Because you have your own needs and wa

I like the way you prioritise! You say that you have a billion unfinished things, do you have a way to keep track of them, so that in the future you can pick one up right away?

I actually prefer hardware because I find phone timers distracting (i.e. I start procrastinating on the Internet!)
