You only have feelings. This is the paradigm argued for by Nick Shackleton Jones. Nick is the author of the book How People Learn, which offers an entirely new model for learning and cognition which he thinks can massively improve performance, learning, and education.  Nick is many things - he is an author, a speaker, a philosopher, a psychology lecturer, and has worked in both the academic and corporate worlds, including time at the BBC, Deloitte, PA consulting and others in positions centred around learning and innovation. He's a rare individual. I had so much fun talking to him. We talk about his ideas, philosophy, neuroscience, how best to learn, consciousness and AI, among many other things . There's a lovely mix of practical and intellectual stuff here, so I think there's something for everyone - please enjoy.  You can also find a video version of this podcast here: https://youtu.be/UdD6sbBeer4TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Intro01:22 You don't have thoughts, you only have feelings04:36 The philosophical foundations06:10 But what about maths?10:16 What does "think rationally" really mean?15:06 What is philosophy driven by?17:49 Mandatory Stoicism dig20:19 Nietzsche's point21:44 Memory Champions23:25 The Affective Context Model26:59 Definitions of Memory and Learning30:43 School doesn't help learning37:33 Education reform43:17 Why does everyone have to get along?46:59 What's the difference using Nick's approach?54:32 Making yourself care about what you need to learn about57:37 We talk about World of Warcraft for a bit01:03:42 Video games and Learning Design01:06:37 Won't we just end up with Minecraft experts?01:15:34 Advice for teachers01:18:00 Should we rethink what intelligence is?01:23:38 The problem of language01:28:46 The AI question01:33:29 What will technology be doing with us 10,000 years from now?01:34:57 Does AI inevitably make us dumber?01:40:39 How does Nick avoid nihilism??01:44:29 Pessimistic Meta-Induction01:47:22 A joke about behaviourism 01:49:32 Does reality exist independently of our feelings?01:54:58 What is Nick unsure of?01:58:59 Why can't we create LLM's that have feelings?02:03:34 Geniuses are affectation geniuses02:05:49 Nietzsche's comedic life02:12:08 What evidence could disprove Shackleton's paradigm?02:18:09 Combating bad ideas online02:25:28 Bad role models02:30:15 The temptation of digital relationships for young men02:32:09 The losing case for Reality02:44:11 Where to find more of Nick's stuffFor more of Nick:https://www.tiktok.com/@shackletonjoneshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/shackletonjones/ His book is called "How People Learn: A New Model of Learning and Cognition to Improve Performance and Education" and can be found on Amazon and other booksellersFor more of me:https://linktr.ee/Jacklawrencehttps://substack.com/@jacklawrohttps://www.instagram.com/jack.lawro/ https://www.tiktok.com/@jack.lawro

Donner une formation, ce n'est pas juste transmettre du contenu. C'est créer une expérience d'apprentissage qui répond à un objectif précis. En lisant Design for How People Learn de Julie Dirksen, j'ai découvert à quel point le design d'une formation doit s'adapter à l'objectif visé. Chaque type d'apprentissage – motivation, acquisition de connaissances, développement de compétences ou maintien des habitudes – exige une approche différente. Dans cet épisode, j'explore : ✔ Comment aligner le design d'une formation avec son objectif d'apprentissage. ✔ Pourquoi le profil des apprenants et leurs attentes influencent la conception d'une formation. ✔ L'importance de l'environnement de travail pour assurer un véritable transfert des apprentissages. ✔ Les outils et stratégies pour favoriser l'application des acquis à long terme. Si vous voulez concevoir des formations plus efficaces – ou simplement mieux apprendre –, cet épisode vous donnera des pistes concrètes pour y arriver.

What do 146 L&D professionals care most about? What are the killer stats L&D should know about right now? Is ‘learning content' really necessary? What questions will be pulled from the cuddly toy's posterior? Find out the answers to all these questions and more in this very special live edition of The Learning & Development Podcast with guests Nick Shackleton-Jones and Kenny Temowo. KEY TAKEAWAYS Understanding how to provide their organisation with greater value and impact is a big concern for L&D professionals. 75% of people said their work leader had more of an influence on their mental health than their life partner does. Experiential training for leaders enables them to better understand how their behaviour and expectations impact those who work for them. The fact that future generations look at work differently is having a huge impact on L&D. When people are offered face-to-face training, they feel invested in. Gamification isn´t working but simulations are. If you can´t see a measurable change (ROI) the chances are you should not be doing it. Content has to be carefully crafted to be relevant. BEST MOMENTS 'I would make sure that we're really involving and holding accountable the leaders.' 'How do we help organizations manage stability, the sense of belonging and psychological safety that we need.' 'Content only matters to you if it's relevant somehow.'
