Hey quick tip - it looks like you're really compressing the audio. There's a spike of volume as you start a sentence and then your voice trails off artificially. I recommend either completely turning off the compressor or dialing it waaaay down. Anyway, love the content about spaced repetition; it's something I've been harping on for a long time. It's just a bit difficult to listen to, for me as a sensory experience.

Thanks for the podcast, Matuschak was the one that introduced me into spaced repetition and the idea that you could get better at learning itself! You should have Nate Hagens and Daniel Schmactenberger on the podcast, they're interesting thinkers on technology and society but come from unique angles.

How do you choose books that repay so much attention? I think a lot of schools demand covering a lot of material-- more than students can read so slowly.

There are some nice comments about this in Adler and van Doren's "How to Read a Book", which I mention in the conversation. See chapter 21, "The Pyramid of Books." A taste: "If the book belongs to the highest class-the very small number of inexhaustible books-you discover on returning that the book seems to have grown with you. You see new things in it-whole sets of new things-that you did not see before. Your previous understanding of the book is not invalidated ( assuming that you read it well the first time ); it is just as true as it ever was, and in the same ways that it was true before. But now it is true in still other ways, too." They have some lists of suggestions, too, though of course the collection leans classical and Western.

@@andy_matuschak I think "learning classical and Western" is a good thing considering the success of the Western civilization.

Not to burst your bubble or anything but western civilization to be the best is exaggeration. Remember football or calculator? Yeah Asians did it first the materials at that time surpasses nowadays ball. It was cheap at the time too.

Western civilization is good for some parts but we also need alternatives view and civilization as well. Another problem is that everyone already know of western civilization, it will cause surplus of one area knowledge without widening it

The brief comment he made about language learning via immersion is a bit disappointing (does he have experience learning foreign languages at a high level?). He only talked about some hypothetical scenario of learning Swahili and how impractical it is to learn it from native Swahili speakers, but when language learners talk about immersion, it's usually about learning e.g. Japanese by watching lots of anime and TV series and reading manga. Dr Stephen Krashen who's studied language acquisition for decades doesn't particularly recommend using Anki, for example. Wish Dwarkesh pushed him back on this point.

Totally fair: I’ve really not studied the pedagogy of language learning; my knowledge there is mostly limited to the kind of straight cogpsy word pair recall experiments you mention.

The sound quality is awful in this video (my first time on this channel) and that's pretty amazing given these prominent microphones looking "expensive / professionnal / high quality". Sound is awful like a bad videoconference. I've only watched 90 seconds of it and it hurts. I am going to try to watch the rest with subtitles on, because the subject is interesting, and this video might teach something interesting, although I have to fight it. Suffering, ear I come :'(

Yeah the mic is clipping a lot for Dwarkesh, not as much for Andy but it's also there. It's a bit odd since these are Shure microphones, which means there might be some sort of setting or a noise elimination algorithm applied in post. Dwarkesh might do better with a different mic if background noise is an issue, e.g. EV RE-20, which is a dynamic condenser with a cardioid polarity, so you can have good sound quality and little need to worry about noise.
