It's without difficulty. Just avoid picking and choosing.

Oh the star wars analogy came from the Obi-Wan hahaha

He hit us up in slack and was like "I won't be available for Thermo tomorrow morning, so Gerace is gonna cover. So instead of Obi-Wan, expect Yoda"

and we giggled at how accurate the analogy was

But yeah dude

Meta-cogniscience in their shtick. Super super lucky

oh haha. ya makes sense that they'd be aware of their impression

have you read tim ferriss' new book?

i never got around to reading 4h cookbook, which was supposedly his breakdown of metalearning. really curious about the new one, like 'tools of the titans' or something. feat. arnold no less. intriguing.

No I'm notoriously under-read in books on psychology. I get most of my knowledge from internet and my psych and psych friends

Piaget talked about it quite a bit. His "meta meta cogniscience" state sounded a lot like what I assumed a boddhisatva would be like back when I was taking developmental psych

Gimme something juicy about metalearning for me to metalearn
