This interview was very nicely done arjun (npub179e…p48v). I loved the questions, and your mannerism, patience, flow was absolutely excellent. Last i saw an interview with incredible mannerism was the exchange between jack (npub1sg6…f63m) and Snowden (npub1sn0…jdv9). I look forward to watching your other interviews and reading your blog

Ironically I read about a month back or so ‘'Some thoughts concerning education' by John Locke and his tabula rasa and 'Emile' by Jean Jacques Rousseau and his sequence of maturity- and I can understand why David Deutsch thought both their processes were a little narrow.

I have some questions for you given you are a high school dropout :

1. Many famous people Picasso, Einstein, Maslow and a lot of known psychologists Skinner, Carol Dweck, and education reformist Ken Robinson, George Carlin etc talked about children being very creative when they are young and unfortunately get suppressed by the traditional systems over time and lose this creativity. When you compare yourself with your peers, do you see this change happening?

2. Children are highly divergent (idea generation), and as we get older, we also train our convergent thoughts (problem solving, execution) - how are you exercising your mind - is it based on what you are passionate about and you take it on from there and see where it leads you ? Or are you self learning everything taught in higher learning but on your own terms ? Or is it by experience ? Or a mix ?

3. Do you feel more at peace in being able to learn what you want to and move forward, when you remove yourself from the traditional education system ?


I have been reading a lot of traditional education for children and young adults and many innovations that try to hack this systems. So it is very interesting to see this and hear about you. I wish you all the best in your future, keep the passion and fire going!
