When you look at online content, everything arguably could be academic. So the question then becomes, what is the difference between a blog post online and an academic article that I have to pay for through an institution? Well, it's gone through the vetting process. But as we discussed earlier, the vetting process isn't actually very good, and has a lot of flaws because people are involved in it. You could make a very good argument that actually online vetting process could be arguably better than the academic one.

Danny Hatcher is a Youtuber, Blogger, and Author contributing to the conversation around educational science. He hosts a podcast called The Personal Knowledge Management Podcast, where he discusses topics in the field of PKM, like overcoming perfectionism, assessing note quality, extended mind theory, and more. To help him with all his research and creation, he uses Notion for collaborative efforts and Obsidian for personal notetaking.

We talked about how to navigate academic research, the problems with academia, how knowledge is built over time, and the issues in traditional University education. This conversation really made me question the way I teach and learn things. Talking to Danny is profound because he questions you when you say something that conflicts with itself. He made me realize just how much creating a shared definition of certain labels is critical to having a productive conversation. I don't think I will ever come to conversations the same.
