@@ChrisWillx thank you! Please what is best between those two strategies? 'cause i can do one and the other. so: -focus all day but in slow mode, meditation mode, no stressfull mode OR - focus only few hours but deeply and hard Thanks!
@@nomos6508 if you that's your question i highly recommend cal newports deep work. It's basically a book on focus. There is no such thing as slow mode focus. It should be intense, which is why it can't be maintained for long durations. Which is why practice and habits help to increase this duration.
I saw the book on audible and didn't know if this is real or just a hype book. From what I see here, it's real. He mentioned MIT OCW, I've learned so much from that and other platforms.
@@ChrisWillx he also mentions things like chunking and active recall which I know from doing Dr. Oakley's courses on metacognition on coursera. He's really done his research, I am really impressed. Looking forward to reading his book!
Not sure if learning would be the end all be all to fix things or drastically improve a person's outcomes. Quora has dove into this person's claims and the pitfalls of claiming to have learned something very quickly like a language in X months or MIT program in Y months. Closed system learning, like tutorials and these courses, don't really prepare a person for a open system world. Connections is a lot more important than just learning this way because finding these folks who just like to learn is a lot easier than it is to acquire a network of very powerful and dependable people.
Good point, we still need people who can code though right? If I want to be a programmer it doesn’t matter how good my social skills & connections are - I need to be able to code.
BTW you could also use ultra learning to learn social skills and expand your network with powerful and dependable people you know? I think the techniques taught are still useful for open system world, it just that the materials you based your learning on need to expand beyond tutorials and online courses. Because like everything else the world, knowledge aren't just confined in books and lectures. There are lessons can only be found through one's experience or experience of others through real-life observation, questioning and experimenting.
You can't make connections without recall; you need to understand what something is here to connect it to this other thing over there. If you don't know pieces of the landscape around your area and slightly beyond, like the back of your hand, then how are you going to get back home? If you can't get back home, then you have no connection to yourself and the world around you. The mind is an integrated instrument.
Quoting Benny Lewis gives this guy no credibility whatsoever. Benny is infamous in the online language learning world for being a charlatan. "He mightn't do it _every_ time within 3 months...." NO!!! The truth is he doesn't do it _any_ time within 3 months. Everyone who has successfully learned a language to any decent level knows this, even Benny himself knows it. Nobody gets anywhere near learning a language to a functional level in 3 months, let alone fluency; not even an "easier" language like a romance language (for a native English speaker). Other than that, interesting interview.
Nah, you are way overly harsh in your views on Benny. yeah, the 3 month fluency thing is kind of gimmicky and his methods may not be the highest method of linguistics, but his basic method DOES work to accelerate the hell out of language learning. Friend, don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Scott kicked serious ass with his language quests using Benny's methods. You are blinded by your viewpoint to the point to where you're not taking in info. Proof is in the pudding, right? Scott proved it works. Countless others have also had great results.
Thanks for this interview, more people need to get on the Ultralearning train!
That's a misconception I don't memorize equations; I understand them and apply them to the situation that makes the most logical sense.
Just bought the book can't wait to read it.
It’s so good!
Have you done your first learning project?

Man, Chris looks so young here!
Excellent interview, thank you!
Thank you!
@@ChrisWillx thank you! Please what is best between those two strategies? 'cause i can do one and the other.
so:
-focus all day but in slow mode, meditation mode, no stressfull mode OR
- focus only few hours but deeply and hard
Thanks!
I would say deep & hard.

I want to be like Marry Summerville, no one has to know about me , but damn it I better do something worth being apart of some historic tradition.
That explains a lot. I believe in you

Scott is a force of nature!

Life is good
