OutlierLearning is…
…expanding our understanding of…
…what we understand…
and/or…
our awareness of our ignorance…
Both are equally important…
IgnoranceAwareness is also the beginning of Wisdom…
…and what gives us ideas of what may be wise to explore next…

AI is the path to a Glorious Future...
There will be two groups of people in the world:
1. Thinkers... who know about #OutlierThinking and @OutlierLearning... and
2. Those who trust AI...
Interesting times...
(The Darwin Award will be interesting to follow...)

Unfortunately few people know what real learning is… what we call #OutlierLearning, to point to that there is a difference…

#OutlierLearning success necessities.

Motivation is closely connected to well grounded hope…
Sadly, too many use “Hope as Strategy”, which is a recipe for suffering…

Very important thread, pointing out something very very important that is rarely discussed.
The next question, after the problem is identified, is… what to do about it practically…?

I got huge value from this video by @ToKTeacher (at 49:10), discussing Chapter 4 of The Beginning of Infinity.
It's about learning and understanding. And it has deep implications for education.
🧵 Here's my take below:

The Beginning of Infinity, David Deutsch... a most brilliant book... but I recommend starting with chapter 10... "A Dream of Socrates"
