Q & A
为什么大脑会丢弃它认为无关紧要的信息?
-大脑会丢弃无关紧要的信息,因为它已经进化成只保留对生存和日常活动有帮助的信息。这是一种自然的认知机制,有助于我们集中精力处理当前和未来的相关任务。
传统教育中存在哪些问题?
-传统教育存在的问题包括:教育过程枯燥无味,学生缺乏参与感和动力;教育内容与实际应用脱节,学生难以看到所学知识的实际价值;教育方式过于强调记忆而非解决问题的能力;以及教育进度统一,忽视了个体差异。
为什么大学教育对于某些人来说是不必要的?
-对于一些人来说,大学教育不是必要的,因为他们可能更关注实际技能的学习和应用,或者他们的目标是创业,在这种情况下,实践经验和市场了解可能比学术知识更为重要。
如何提高教育的互动性和吸引力?
-可以通过将教育过程游戏化,使其更具互动性和吸引力。例如,通过问题解决的方式来教授知识,让学生在解决实际问题的过程中自然而然地学习和使用工具。
为什么教育应该像视频游戏一样?
-视频游戏具有高度的互动性和吸引力,如果教育能够像视频游戏一样,那么学生将更愿意主动参与学习过程,从而提高学习效率和兴趣。
教育中应该如何教授问题解决能力?
-教育中应该通过具体的问题来教授问题解决能力,而不是单纯地教授工具或方法。通过让学生面对真实的挑战,他们可以更好地理解工具的用途,并在实践中学习如何应用这些工具。
为什么教育中要强调“为什么”?
-强调“为什么”可以帮助学生理解学习的目的和意义,增加他们的学习动力。当学生明白为何要学习某个主题或概念时,他们更容易看到其相关性,从而更有效地记忆和应用所学知识。
如何改变传统教育模式?
-改变传统教育模式可以通过个性化学习路径、项目式学习、跨学科合作、批判性思维训练等方式。同时,教育者应该关注培养学生的创新能力和解决实际问题的能力。
为什么说大学教育的主要价值在于证明一个人的毅力和责任感?
-大学教育的主要价值在于证明一个人的毅力和责任感,因为完成学业需要持续的努力和对各种任务的承诺。这种能力对于未来的职业生涯和个人发展来说是非常重要的。
教育应该如何适应个体差异?
-教育应该允许学生根据自己的兴趣和学习速度来选择学习内容和进度,而不是让所有学生按照统一的标准和进度前进。这样可以更好地满足每个学生的个性化需求。
为什么说传统的教育方式像伏特加?
-传统的教育方式被比喻成伏特加,是因为它们可能缺乏多样性和个性化,就像伏特加一样单一且强烈。这种方式可能导致学生对学习失去兴趣,因为他们可能觉得教育内容枯燥且与现实生活脱节。
Outlines
📚 教育的本质与自我学习
本段落讨论了传统教育的不足之处,强调了自我学习的重要性。作者认为,大脑会自然地丢弃它认为不相关的信息,而传统教育恰恰忽视了这一点。作者通过自己没有航天学位却能成功的例子,说明了通过阅读书籍、与他人交流和拥有优秀团队可以获得必要的知识。此外,作者提倡教育应该注重解决问题的能力,而不是单纯教授工具的使用。通过实际问题的学习,工具的用途和相关性会自然显现。作者还提到,尽管大学教育有其价值,如评估学生的毅力和团队合作能力,但它们并不是学习的最佳场所。教育应该像视频游戏一样吸引人,通过互动和参与来提高学习的吸引力和效率。
🔍 批判性思维与教育改革
这一段落进一步探讨了教育系统中存在的问题,特别是批判性思维的缺失。作者认为,人们往往不假思索地接受了许多观点,而没有基于充分的证据去分析和质疑。作者强调了理性思考的基础是确保论证的前提是有效和适用的,并且结论是由这些前提所驱动的。作者指出,教育中的一个错误是教师没有向学生解释学习某个科目的原因,这导致学生对所学内容感到困惑。作者提出,教育应该让学生了解学习的目的,并且通过解决实际问题来激发学生的兴趣。此外,作者认为大学教育往往是不必要的,对于创业等目标而言,完成学位并不总是必要的。教育体系应该摒弃传统的同步升级模式,因为每个人都是独一无二的,不应该像流水线上的产品那样对待。

Transcripts
our brain has evolved to discard
information that it thinks has no
relevance you know if you think like
what is education like you're basically
downloading data and algorithms into
your brain and it's it's it's actually
amazingly bad in conventional education
because like it shouldn't be like this
huge chore so i think colleges are
basically for fun and to prove you can
do your chores but they're not for
learning
you're self-taught yeah well i
self-taught yes meaning um i didn't i
don't have an aerospace degree so how
did you go about acquiring the knowledge
well uh i i read a lot of books talk to
a lot of people and and have a great
team
it's important to teach uh
teach problem solving or teach to the
problem not to the tools
so this would be like
let's say
um
you're trying to teach people about uh
how engines work or you know you could
start by a
more traditional approach would be to
say we're going to teach you all about
screwdrivers and wrenches
and
and you can have a corsa screwdrivers or
caution wrenches and all these things
and it's
this is a very difficult way to do it a
much better way would be like here's the
engine now let's take it apart how we're
going to take it apart oh you need a
screwdriver that's what the screwdriver
is for you need a wrench that's what the
wrench is for
and then a very important thing happens
which is that the relevance of the tools
becomes apparent
you don't need college learning learn
stuff okay
everything is available basically for
free
you can learn anything you want for free
it is not a question of learning
um
there there is
a value that colleges have which is like
you know seeing whether somebody's
is can somebody work hard at something
including a bunch of
sort of annoying homework assignments
and still do their homework assignments
uh and and kind of soldier through and
get it done you know that's
that's like
the main value of college and then also
you know if you you
probably want to hang around with a
bunch of people your own age for a while
instead of going right into the
workforce
[Music]
so i think colleges are basically for
fun and to prove you can do your chores
but they're not for learning
generally you want education to be like
as close to a video game as possible
like a good video game
you do not need to tell your kid to
play video games they will play video
games on autopilot all day
so
if you can make it interactive and
engaging
then then you can make education
far more compelling and far easier to do
so you really want to
um disconnect the whole grade level
three thing from the subjects allow
people to progress at the fastest pace
that they can or interested in in each
subject
it seems like a really obvious thing
um
i mean i think like most teaching today
is is a lot like vodka
where
um
and it's and as a result just not not
that compelling it's like somebody's
standing up there and lecturing to you
and they've done the same lecture
several years in a row they're not
necessarily all that engaged or
in doing it you know if you're like what
is education like you're basically
downloading data and algorithms into
your brain and it's it's actually
amazingly bad in conventional education
because like it shouldn't be like this
huge tour like the more you can gamify
the uh process of learning the better
like
for my kids i do not have to encourage
them to play video games yeah okay i
like pry them from their hands like like
crack yes yes like drop that crack
needle um in fact i think a lot of
things people learn probably there's no
point in learning them um
because they never use them in the
future well you have to say like people
i think don't stand back and say well
why are we teaching people these things
and we should tell them probably why
we're teaching these things because a
lot of kids are just in school kind of
puzzled as to why they're there
and i think if you can explain the why
of things then that makes a huge
difference to people's motivation yeah
then they understand
they understand purpose yeah
so i think that's pretty important
and just make it entertaining but i
think just in general like conventional
education should be massively overhauled
i'm sure you very much agree with that
but well
people do not think critically enough i
mean there's critical thinking is a
skill in short supply where people you
people take too many things as they
assume too many things to be true
without sufficient basis in
in that belief um so
um it's very important that people
closely analyze what what is supposed to
be true and and and try to build up
try to say let's analyze things from
first principles not by not not by
analogy or not by convention
if you assume things are true by
convention which is actually what most
people do
um then it's difficult to gain insight
into what how things can be bettered
so you know in any argument
or any sort of train of thinking um you
want to
make sure that your the underlying
premises are valid and applicable and
um
and you know and and then in reaching a
conclusion that
the conclusion you're reaching is
necessarily driven by the underlying
premises and the interconnection between
those premises that may seem like a
really simple thing to say but most
people don't do that um so it's really
the foundation of rational thought
i think there's maybe
there's definitely some good schools out
there
but i think
the
some of the mistakes at least in my
opinion that i see being made in
education is um
that
um
people the the teachers do not explain
why
kids are being taught a subject
um
you know just sort of get dumped into
math and like well why are you learning
math what's the point of this it seems
like some
you know some people like maybe it's
i don't know why i'm being asked to do
these strange
problems
but you know the why of things is
extremely important
because you know our brain has evolved
to
not
to discard information
that it thinks is has no relevance
so then if on the one hand you uh you're
being asked to memorize or learn
say formulas
but you do not know why
this is the case then you have this
cognitive dissonance of it seems
irrelevant but i'm being told to
remember it so i'll be punished
so so i better remember it but so the
why of things is very important and
then uh being able to
and then
picking kind of a
a problem
and then uh using various educational
tools to solve that problem
like using math or physics or economics
to to solve that problem
is far more engaging
than teaching the tools
a university education is often
unnecessary um
that's not to say it's unnecessary for
all people but
um i i think
you probably learn about as much or the
vast majority of what you're gonna learn
there in the first two years
and most of it is for your classmates
now for a lot of companies
they
they do want to see the completion of
the degree because they're looking for
um someone who's gonna persevere and see
it through to the end and that's
actually what's important to them so it
really depends on what somebody's goal
is if the goal is to start a company
i would say no point in finishing uh
college um
so
i think that's how it should be and it
shouldn't be that you've got like these
grades where people move in lockstep
um and so everyone
goes through you know goes like normally
you will go through
english math
uh
science and so forth from like fifth
grade to sixth grade to seventh grade
like it's an assembly line
but people are not objects on an
assembly line that's a ridiculous notion
