Episode notes

I understand from some of the podcasts that you really think reading academic articles and research in general is something everybody should be doing, not if they're actually in academia or not. I first want to ask before he asks more questions regarding this, why do you think it is that so few people, even if they subconsciously know the value of doing it, just don't? Two of the biggest barriers in academia is one money. To read a 5 to 10 page article is going to cost you £20, £25, maybe more. So money is the obvious one. And then the second one is the perception of stupidity being dumb, not understanding, intelligence, whatever word you want to put

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.
