Well said. I too felt that he has reinvented the wheel when there are loads of literature nd applications of it. Lygometry as claimed by him is something similar to metacognition which is used in the field of education. Knowing yourself has been defined and redefined. Efforts are spent on redefining and creating curiosity rather than actual conceptualisation of ideas. Concept building and incubation of new ideas have become rare. Much time is spent on repackaging. Correct me if i am wrong

There is problem to that, if you do something new by yourself , your may not know the thing which you found has been discovered before or not. That's why you need to have a idea of the box.

A few years ago I saw your video "The best guitar player". That was huge! Now after growing in age, I came across your talk. This too is huge and now everything makes sense too. Lygometry is something to apply to our lives.
I can not beliave what i just heard, you are absolutely right. Last few years i was trying to solve more less the same thing but i did not have name for it but now i have. We must extend this idea to the all world.

Amazing speech and performance!! Amin was constantly sweating through out the session and audience was less responsive dnt know why. he deserved more applauds while on stage..

You are totally right man, the Earth is flat. I mean we have never managed to circumnavigate the planet or whatever they call it, nor have we ever seen it from far away. And are we really supposed to believe that Antarctica is just a continent? I mean c'mon! Obviously it is actually a massive ice wall that keeps the oceans from spilling out over the edge.

Big fan of yours Amin Toofani Sir. Have heard your gratitude so many times and searched for your other videos of guitar playing but didn't get and then came upon this Ted Talk of yours. Really love you. Lots of love from India. ❤❤❤
I must have been incredibly lucky in my schooling, because all the way through - from 4 years old in primary school to 40 years old when I did my MSc, there was always a teacher or lecturer who told me "we don't know why or how". It always presented a challenge. I may be over 60 now, but I still try to look at things I don't know and try to figure them out. I'd love to sit down with Amin and chat . . . Between us, there must be so much we don't know.
Amin Toufani is quite amazing, but I have some issues with this TED talk. If the edge of the circle of knowledge represents known unknowns, then as we gain knowledge, both the circle and the edge of the circle expand. Thus, the more you know, the more questions you have -- the more known unknowns there are. Using Amin's excellent guitar playing as an example, none of the techniques he says he learned on his own are new. (I would also point out that, although he only had seven formal lessons, he admittedly learned a lot by listening and learning from others.) The risk of being self-taught is always that you'll likely just re-invent the wheel. I think when you have degrees from three major universities, you are in a good position to focus on the great unknowns of humanity. Perhaps his target audience are his intellectual peers, but I think most people would be well served by focusing on the basics. One more thing: it seems that every time I think I've got an original and ground-breaking thought, I discover that someone else has already written a book about it.
I think you're thinkink about it wrong. Outside of a circle represents things that we dont know and never will (they are unanwserable questions). And inside represents things that we do or will yet know and are anwserable So the line represents things that we know we dont know.
i have the same issue too, but I'm positive about it, i think that maybe when someone had the same thought that i get after a hard time making it, they have another approach to the question so i try to know how they got it or in what way they did it because thinking is the most complex thing... and then knowing their way of thinking may help me answering many questions i have...
Who can tell me keeping his hand on his heart that I know this thing from every nook and corner . There are a few . We only linger over the boundary but avoid to plunge too deep into an information. Fear that we might not come back from the vortex . There are two types of peoples 1. Who knows about a single information top to bottom . 2. Who knows about many information but not perfectly . The problem of 1 is that they cannot embrace new ideologies and theories , the problem of number 2 is their knowledge is hollow . For achieving ideal education and knowledge we have to find that middle sweet spot . Sorry for my bad English

Very impressive person! Mr. Toofani thank you for this speech and showing the world, that we have more in us, than most of us belive. But this is the message. Know one thing.. Beliving is the outside of knowing. Learn every day and help making the world better. Mr. Toofani, you should be the president of USA, after D.T..
Oh yeee ...He is really intelligent and ...... directors know what a great person they have in organization . We hear a lot of interesting and positiv reports about Mr. Amin Toufani in the future and what he did for the all people in the world .
I worked out my master thesis topic and research with the help of Lygometry and got admiration from my supervisors for the topic idea and contributed work, while studying in Germany.
Correct...I agree....well said ...lygometry....is to find self through another unknown away that pleases u.....I like the way u play....I am aged one.....but u taught me to keep searching what I like.....wah kya bat hai.....God bless u
This makes so much sense. That is EXACTLY what should be taught. This is all we know about X, this is all we DON'T know about X. being taught the don't know's is exactly what would spurn imagination and make the students want to explore and learn more. This would have vastly helped me with interest in school.
The best way to think outside the box is to not know where the box is....it takes time to comprehend this guy, but once you do, it makes perfect sense.
''I know one thing, that I don't now anything'' Socrates (469 - 399bC). That was Socrates' method (maieutics) based on asking and answering questions to stimulate critical thinking.

He reminds me of the two high school girls who came up with two novel solutions for pi. Yesterday, I read they came up with nine more. Calcea Johnson and Ne'kiya Jackson. I have hope for a better world with young people like them!
this man created a masterpiece and now he cant recreate it ever again....he might be able to play it but not like he did. he's lost speed due to lack of practice. the original was a piece of magic that even the man himself can not recreate
