0:00.0	Welcome to another T-RX talk. Today we're going to be talking about knowledge and information and how to
0:06.5	level up your own capabilities and learn stuff faster or maybe learn stuff slower, but learn stuff better.
0:13.6	That's kind of the main point. This is actually a two-part episode, by the way. I'm going to be
0:16.8	talking about information in this particular episode. Next week, I'm going to be talking about
0:20.5	tools because it's kind of a similar thing, but you'll figure it out next week.
0:25.9	As you know, in the 21st century, there is far more information that exists. And that information is far more accessible than in the past. And there are far more people who have access to all of that

1:26.7	today's inventors and scientists and manufacturers are standing
1:29.9	on the shoulders of geniuses, so they have achieved things that their forefathers have not. But the
1:35.2	question is, are they with the time that they have doing as much as the people who came before
1:42.0	them did with probably smaller amounts of time, less effective
1:45.9	tools, and less knowledge and information. And I would say the answer is, well, no. But even if you
1:51.7	look at your basic individual guys and gals out there in the West, in the 21st century, I don't
1:57.5	think that we are, you know, reaching the pinnacles that the information age
2:02.8	really should allow us to do. And there are several reasons for that. One is that, well,
