    Should Learning Be Easy?

    Should we be taking the fun way, or the hard way in our path to learning something new? Co-founder of OpenAI, Andrej Karpathy thinks the latter. He argues that the "shortification of learning" made popular by short form videos on social media, packaged as a way to learn while being entertained, is a "trap." Instead, he advocates that if one were serious about learning, they should seek out heavier academic content; think textbooks, manuals, documents and research papers. We dissect his argument, and whether there's merit to it, and also ask our listeners whether learning should be easy. Image credit: nimito,123RF See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

However, an article by The Atlantic proposes that blossoming later in life can be equally, if not more impactful. We explore this idea, and ask our listeners about their own late-blooming experiences, and the skills that they discovered in adulthood.
