The Productive Consumption Problem

The goals of consuming content

If the goal includes personal enrichment, then we have to consider the following two problems for optimizing our consumption patterns:

1. What we are exposed to. The world of ideas and content is an iceberg, of which we will only be able to explore a tiny tip given the time we have. How do we make it so the limited subset we see is as useful as possible?

2. What we do with what we see. We are exposed to lots of ideas and content within that tip of the iceberg. How do we best triage and priortize what we are exposed to for future action or examination?
