29: Learning new skills

Dan and James talk about how they learn new things.

Some of the topics discussed:

• Internet memes
• Consolidating old ideas rather than learning new ones
• Why learn a new skill when you just get someone else to do it?
• A lesson of not having a good understanding statistical software...
• James and Dan butt heads about meta-analysis (again)
• Learning new things is interesting
• How did people learn things before the internet?
• How to follow things on Twitter without being on Twitter
