Highlights

Knowledge Workers Thinking About Knowledge

• “I spend a lot of time thinking about why knowledge workers don’t spend very much time thinking about knowledge work.” — Andy Matuschak

How it connects

• Andy Matuschak — the guest; this episode sits alongside Why Books Don’t Work in his body of work on Tools For Thought and the design of learning mediums.
• David Perell — host of the North Star Podcast; the conversation is filed under Education and knowledge work.
• Knowledge Workers Thinking About Knowledge — the framing quote: most knowledge workers rarely examine the practice of knowledge work itself.
• Transmissionism — Matuschak’s recurring target, the silent assumption that ideas transmit cleanly from author/lecturer to reader/student.
