  - 1/ This morning was going to be dedicated to creating a course outline, but when I jotted down some additional ideas they just kept coming, so I accepted that I'm still in "ideation" mode and...
  - 2/ ...spent most of the morning just sitting with pen and paper, taking notes as the thoughts formed, then sat in silence, eyes closed or staring out the window, sometimes for minutes, waiting.
  - 3/ Then another idea would come, often spawning related idea or resulting in mini-synthesis, idea alchemy with what I previously noted, or what I already know. I could almost watch my thoughts form.
  - 4/ I've been using some of the lockdown time to start importing many of my notes into @RoamResearch and have been re-reading, tagging, highlighting, culling much of it. This includes notes on courses I've taught, and going through all this

Hello and welcome to Lewis and Kyle show an interview podcasts where Lewis and I bring on people that we think we can learn from, whether they have achieved some of the goals that we have for ourselves, or they are an expert in a specific area, or they just have a cool story to share. We bring them on to learn a little bit more about them how they think and how they've done what they've done. Louis, who do we have on this one?

Kyle, and this episode we bring on esteana hack love. Seon is someone I met on Twitter because we follow the same people and ended up having conversations on the same threads reached out to them because I really liked what he had to say about a lot of interesting topics and learns that he's a very interesting guy. He is the senior engineer and learning architect at the Minerva project, which if you haven't heard of it, we'll get more into in the interview. Basically, it's a very innovative new online platform alternative to college where you travel and are with the same small cohort of

    - The current model of higher education is broken. 
        - We're not getting the skills we need, 
            - especially in technical disciplines. 
            - the important skills like leadership, collaboration, communication and attitude of curiosity and problem solving. those skills are really taught at universities, 
        - we're paying too much money for it. 
            - the cost is too high. If I graduate from a top us University today, I can easily be in debt more than $100,000. At that cost quality education does not scale. 
    - And the model that we have today doesn't scale to meet the demand of tomorrow. 
        - What we learn over the four year course of a bachelor's degree at the end of that degree is almost invariably outdated.

- Meta
    - I started writing this on Slack, and finally decided I'd write it on my Roam, that way I have these notes, and it's also easy for you to copy to your Roam if you so desire
- Communications
    - One Roam or back and forth
        - A manual approach would be just including the whole page in an email, I could paste it over my page, make edits, put it in an email to you, you paste it back into your Roam and make edits etc... 
        - But I'm happy to just go look at your Roam, easier for now)...
    - Notifications
        - Either way, for now you need to ping me when you've made an update, since there is no notification (for you, I'm assuming pinging your daily page is sufficient - hoping you don't miss any days :))
- Roam format
    - simplest - highlight comments (but only works once)

- [[Stian Håklev (侯爽)]]: Experimenting with a way of organizing linked references into useful content in Roam. This isn't quite Evergreen Notes, but useful to me. I start with a lot of incoming stuff, almost all from Daily Pages. Let's say I've been researching Wikidata. https://t.co/yHQ2lHoYwO - [[Twitter thread]] by [[Stian Håklev (侯爽)]], [link](https://twitter.com/houshuang/status/1250149174168993793)
    - I open the page in the sidebar, expand the linked references, and begin thinking about how to organize them. I pull them in using mentions (for single blocks) or embeds (for grabbing children too), and begin organizing them in an outline. https://t.co/gRKzwAqduK
        - ![](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EVlqjIeXkAAAktn.jpg)
    - As I go along, I add the tag whenever I've fully processed a note, and use a filter to remove these. When there are two important tags, and I might want to process the second tag, I instead change from [[Wikidata]] to [[[[Wikidata]]-p]].
    - Thus I can still click on Wikidata

    - 4channers, with their "hypertrophied intuition of damaged man" mix being "absolutely retarded on the personal level with sociological takes from the year 3020". They have keen observation powers, but the wrong theory. Let's discuss the macro in question.

- Writing is a powerful way of learning and since making connecting concepts however, without a safe space and a community it can be difficult because we feel that we are not the experts and that we have not much to contribute and that we might not have an audience. Or if we do, we focus too much on SEO and superficial metrics like likes and we sell them get deep and meaningful feedback. graduate level seminar or a peer to peer university course was a space where you could with a small group of trusted people explore topics. There's the concept of a cohort. So, you have some shared understanding, you are perhaps at a similar level, although because you are advanced students, you do not start from scratch. You come from different disciplines and you bring very different ideas and connections to the discussion. You have a guaranteed audience who are interested engaging with your ideas, ideally in a constructive way, where they give you useful feedback, and where their ideas build upon your ideas. There's also t
