The man weaves quantum physics into guitar chords,no wonder he is a product of harvard. A physics visionary, a charismatic musician and aesthetics that leave everyone speachless. A perfect role model for the learned.

[@drmanohar1975]

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.

Could you elaborate how, please?

[@The_Original_Geoff_B]

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.

[@deY-s7E]

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.

[@nandyy0808]

[@MrTeff999]

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.

[@mato900]

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.

[@a.k6839]

Agreed.

[@mekkib.bourzam2726]

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...

[@EternalBlaze10]

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
