🌿 Strategies for Learning mega thread 👇 One of the most helpful lenses to look at Learning is through Bloom's Taxonomy. Each layer is a different phase of Mastery. (Below, I'll mention tips for every layer.) There are so many techniques beyond spaced repetition...

I want The Sims for work. Like Slack, I'll leave the app open all day. I have a house, which I decorate (free to play, IAP). Proximity chat means if you want to chat with me, you walk over to my house and we have a meeting

We may as well start a thread of folks asking for this. Learning by osmosis and apprenticeship will need rethinking in the age of remote learning

“i will pay you money to watch you work and ask you questions” is a startup idea hiding in plain sight
are you a 3D digital artist? i will pay you money to watch you work and ask you questions; i’m particularly interested in photorealistic objects / scenes

Also, asking someone to “jump on a call” often means I haven’t thought it through. Instead, I’ve been writing up a 1 pager and sending it along with an Otter voice message. Benefits are: Deeper thinking More convenient Fewer meetings
Why do many people default to "let's jump on a call"? No, let's keep things asynchronous until we can't.

The culture war over the vaccine will be far worse than the war over wearing a mask

10. Inflation scare / fiat concerns: free money means value protection for hard assets "How can you not like a hard asset - that you can shelter your family in - that's denominated in USD, which does nothing but perpetually lose value?" https://t.co/TXC2ORBSiU
@BarrioBitcoin @KeiserReport Do I have to say it again? Bitcoin solves this. But also, if RE were denominated in BTC, it would be far less popular. How can you not like a hard asset that you can shelter your family in that's denominated in an asset (USD) that does nothing but perpetually lose value?

9. Bailout beliefs: a perception that bailouts will protect prices. If the pandemic gets worse, then the gov/fed will issue more stimulus and unemployment both of which keep people in their homes, which protect prices *and* inflate the currency, driving house prices up

8. Lack of alpha / value protection elsewhere: Where else is there to put the money?

7. FOMO: people are afraid that the market will go higher and they missed "the dip". Interest rates are so low, people don't want to miss out. (For a couple of months I hear there were no buyers, but fyi the dip is probably over)

6. "we're not really in a depression" - the view that a recession for white collar is overstated and people who could afford a house are largely unaffected by coronavirus (so far) the high-demand story doesn't fit the depression narrative very well

5. american optimism: "this too shall pass" -- a belief that the pandemic is media hype and not permanently bad

4. remote-work enabled exodus aka "CA-exodus": remote work unanchored tech workers from hubs and cities are uninhabitable during a pandemic so folks move the country -- and they have above-market money to spend ("CA-buyers")

3. pent up demand: folks that wanted to buy had to wait, now we're seeing that pressure release - (if true, it's a temporary spike)

1. low inventory: the pandemic dampened selling - it was hard to show houses, get movers, etc. economic uncertainty means caution also, forbearance constrains supply - 8% of mortgages in forbearance means these folks won't sell

To homeschool, the home-parent must be: - intelligent - organized - motivated - selfless - have the patience of Job. Be this person or marry them.
Calling it now: My kids will be homeschooled and won't attend a traditional college.

This is perfect - spacial audio and video chat. If you’re close, you can see and speak. The audio fades as you walk away. https://t.co/Qp3Eos4YPW

“In public school, kids are socialized by other kids. [Its the] Blind leading the blind.” https://t.co/1vWM98F9jd
The most bizarre argument against homeschooling is that kids need public school to be "socialized." Evidence from our culture very strongly indicates that the public school socialization method has failed. In fact socialization is the best argument FOR homeschool, not against.

I want a Minecraft audio chat plugin that adjusts the volume of each participant according to how close they are to me. We could use it for online events where folks naturally split into small groups
