In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

People don’t hate learning, in fact your brain loves learning, it’s just school is a place that kills the love to learn, the teachers and the curriculum are/is can be very boring and or frustrating. There need to be more people like the people at Vsause that teach the next generation.

Depends. I quite frequently find school as interesting depending on the subject. Maybe it's because I've met interesting teachers or because I grew up being inquisitive but some topics discussed in school actually piques my interest.
@WyWid
@WyWid Рік тому
People asked what my favorite subject was each year of highschool. It depended on the teacher teaching it. My sophomore year I had a great teacher. Entertaining, understandable, reasonable, kind and respectful. Just a down to earth lady. Then the next year my least favorite subject was math because the teacher was stubborn, boring and didn’t really care about her students

@theinstrumentalists7193
@theinstrumentalists7193 8 років тому
+Jerry Xue If you are the average citizen, then the majority of the topics you learn in school will be forgotten; cast aside and left unused, as they are not required in your day to day activities. Consequently, mulling over that chart of words or that history textbook with the sole purpose of passing the test and then forgetting the information is what I consider studying. Learning however, is a completely different subject. Learning is discovering things you thought were impossible, actually enjoying the information you are receiving. Just like Michael said, I believe that despite what topic you hate the most, if you learn more about it, you will find things about it you enjoy, while simultaneously gathering information about the topic. When you relate information gained to something you already know, that is when you have truly learned it.

I had a private teacher teach me a crap ton of organic chemistry (which i really hate) he started of saying "ill go out of topic for 5 minutes, then ill start with it" 2 hours later he said "time is up" i was like woah! You only thought me like 10 minutes, i paid you for 2 hours!" He then explained to me how he gave me ALL igcse and a/as chemistry on the finals of grade 9! And i did feel the time pass by and i still remember it as i remember physics (my favourite). My point is, the teacher are not able to teach us because they are under qualified! I had a math teacher have ALL class (a class that hates maths, fails in math, and sees school as a playground) understand algebra deeply!

I swear, Michael's train of thought is like a Wikipedia binge trapped inside a human brain. The guy goes on such fascinating tangents that always veer off course but never feel like they're even slightly random. There's always a connecting thread, a path that his discussion follows, that holds everything together. It's kind of beautiful in its own way.
@thenextshenanigantownandth4393
@thenextshenanigantownandth4393 5 років тому
He's a polymath I think. He also is clearly gifted in abstract and paradoxical thinking. People who are gifted in abstract and paradoxical thinking have high levels of what you might call super imagination. Ability to blend existing concepts and objects into something new, this can also be useful for problem solving. Like taking an object and connecting it to a unrelated idea based on a train of thought, just based on details of the object.Creating a new idea. They're not looking at the object, but what makes the object up and how it exists within space and time, how it will exist in the past and future. How it relates to seemingly unrelated objects and the bigger picture. what it's like on the smallest of details. Those details will take you to a new insight almost completely void of relationship to the starting point. what is inside the object and how it could be interacting with invisible forces. ect. Think of micheal Feraday or even Einstein. Research suggests people with these abilities have more connections between both sides of their right and left brain, but also a higher volume of grey matter. Not sure about his IQ, maybe 118 ? IQs aren't all that important imo. I was visited by a man who seeks out gifted children when I was a wee spriggin and he said I was gifted in abstract and paradoxical thinking. I'm not saying this to brag or anything. I do exactly what micheal does in the video. so I know he's at least semi gifted at this thought process. People who think like this make great scientists or writers, or science educators ;) .So you could say Micheal was destined for what he does.
