My notes
Nowadays we have TOOLS to make free kerning more expressible and inexpensive than ever before.
Free learning is technology-independent. In that sense, no one is forced to use SuperMemo or any other Spaced Repetition Software, as well as any operative system in particular.
template: to start a discord with bots preloaded.
Lead by the example
This reminds me the slogan from fellow countryman Pau Gasol, a former NBA player who's motto is "lead by example!. Interestingly, I learned the English expression from him.
Community network
Goal: find free learners with overlapping interests.
Can we came discord servers do the good things from university? (seminars with experts, networking)
University Experts
Experts are paid in university seminars as incentive, they won't get any benefit other than the money.
Master / relationship
Master/mentor-mentoree/aprentice relationship, both win.
LEARN IN PUBLIC
With learning in public, one kills 3 birds with one stone:
- you learn more
- you teaching others
- at the same time, you are getting exposure and marketing
