How To Keep Track Of What You’ve Learnt – Freestyle Mind

  • How often should you recall?


    How often you need to recall depends on the mole of information you’ve stored and how important it is for you. As a general rule you should recall at the end of the day, after 24 hours, after 1 week, after 1 month, after 6 months, and after one year. This should be simple to do if your system is in order, as on a typical day you only have to recall 6 files. I tend to do a quick review at the end of the week for old files, but that’s a personal choice and you have to try what works for yourself.

The Answer Factory: Fast, Disposable, and Profitable as Hell | Magazine

  • To appreciate the impact Demand is poised to have on the Web, imagine a classroom where one kid raises his hand after every question and screams out the answer. He may not be smart or even right, but he makes it difficult to hear anybody else.
  • The focus on LTV keeps Demand away from any kind of breaking news coverage or investigative work, neither of which tends to hold its value.

Overcoming Bias: Scientific Evidence, Legal Evidence, Rational Evidence

  • Science is made up of generalizations which apply to many
    particular instances, so that you can run new real-world experiments
    which test the generalization, and thereby verify for yourself that the
    generalization is true, without having to trust anyone's
    authority.  Science is the publicly reproducible knowledge of humankind.

  • Like a court system, science
    as a social process is made up of fallible humans.  We want a
    protected pool of beliefs that are especially reliable. 
    And we want social rules that encourage the generation of such
    knowledge.  So we impose special, strong, additional standards
    before we canonize rational knowledge as "scientific knowledge", adding
    it to the protected belief pool.
