“Don’t let any metaphor go unseen” | Lovisa Sundin | TEDxUniversityofGlasgow

A fascination with the nature of mental imagery and the role of metaphors in underpinning abstract thought has driven Lovisa to the technical challenge of representing mathematical and computational concepts through visual metaphors. In this talk, she shares her ideas about how encouraging this could improve education.
Lovisa is a Swedish fourth-year undergraduate in computing science and psychology at the University of Glasgow. Since high school, she has been fascinated by the nature of mental imagery and the role of metaphors in underpinning abstract thought.

This is literally one of the best Ted talks I've seen, Tedx or not. Shame it's under 4000 views!

A metaphor is an act of information compression, but it's neither lossy nor lossless. It's more like a tea bag or a brilliant little-seen KZbin TEDx talk that is stored in compressed form only to be revivified in water or in mind - So, let's call this kind of compression infusion compression or infussy compression.

My fiancé and I went camping with our softball team and I bring my guitar. I had been playing guitar for almost 15 years at the time and was playing / singing and one of the kids told her mom “Wow he’s really good” and she replied “Don’t give him any attention, he’s just showing off”… And I wasn’t showing off, I was just playing… but I stopped playing in front of people if I’m not on stage… If I could go back in time, I would have told myself not to pay any attention to that person.

Consider doing an NLP Session like Core Transformation on it. There a books to borrow or buy or videos and session you can book. It will help rewire this through your internal experience, it is as if you went back in time as you said. Promise it works, I’ve done it.
