- Jim Simons was a mathematician and cryptographer who realized: the complex math he used to break codes could help explain patterns in the world of finance. Billions later, he’s working to support the next generation of math teachers and scholars. TED’s Chris Anderson sits down with Simons to talk about his extraordinary life in numbers.

This guy is a great communicator. He knows how to avoid jargon and knows how to explain things to people who aren't experts.
My main thought. He did an amazing job!
Older rich men often do I've noticed... Lawyers, judges, doctors, they speak slowly and simply, but there seems to be some wisdom in their words (usually).
Buffet and Munger are examples of this and surprisingly there is a tiniest hint of humility at times. It's like yeah we know we're the best, but can still screw up and have plenty of times
he didnt explain anything?!?
once people don't feel the need to prove their intelligence through the way they speak, they can simplify. Somebody making deeply convoluted statements is probably insecure.
That is how you can tell someone really understands something, they can explain it so someone of little background understands it.
Dr. Gilbert Strang, Liner Algebra, MIT 18.06..very good to know for Data Science...things my junior level Math 345 class didn't cover!
RIP legend Jim Simmons (1938-2024)
wow, I didn't know RIP
Jim is a truly remarkable individual. My son got a PhD in Math from Stony Brook where Jim became chair of the department and made signifcant advances then left to form his fund and then returned later in life to to make more important mathematical contributions. He liked privacy and is probably not as well known as he would be otherwise. This interview gives only a glimpse into how interesting he really was. I as others would like more and longer interviews just letting Jim speak.
How good is stony brook university and how well employers perceive it ? Also they has a master program in quant finance any thoughts about it ?
Several times, the interviewer cuts him off as he is about to expand on his thoughts. Very frustrating.
Several times? I can't find one instance of it. Why don't you cite some examples instead of taking the 'people familiar with the matter' approach.
I don't see it. I see the interviewer leading the interview which is his job, to direct the conversation to inform the people as much as possible in the limited time available. Like I said, all these people claiming the interviewer is interrupting fail to cite one example. I watched the video again and don't see it. I see a regular conversation.
Exactly, this interviewer is annoying
nope he kept the old man from rambling. Made him to talk about whats needed from him. Remember, there is a time constraint.
You are absolutely right :/
I think cause he is not familiar with the topics so he cant judge when Jim is about to go deeper in the talk.
I could listen to this guy talk all day.
+BLTspace without the not-so-smart interviewer constantly interrupting and annoying everyone
+BLTspace
I'm Sean Connery. Raarrrghhhh....
Hear hear !
me too. just wish the interviewer would let him talk
I thnk thats fascinating that you can listen to this guy all day. I find him incredibly boring. But maybe theres something im missing. x
I hate how the interviewer kept cutting in on the conversation, LET THE MAN TALK!
+ShadowSayan1 These talks are time limited, so CUT THE MAN OFF!
+shubus I have no idea, but Chris Anderson is the curator and he wanted to tell Jim's story I guess. Jim probably didn't want to give an 18 minute talk by himself so they compromised?
+dakrisis I get that but the thing is the man clearly knows what he's talking about and he probably had some very interesting stuff to say but he kept being asked more stuff. To put it simply I rather have 3 well answered questions than 6 incomplete answers.
True dat.
+ShadowSayan1 this guy would keep getting side tracked, chris just kept it on point and on course for the allotted time period
At 37 I decided to pivot to Tech and learn Software development. Thanks to my habit of reading, I read a book on Jim Simons and got to read a lil more on Quant development. I am now learning both Math (going back to it after almost 20 yrs) and software. I know it's gonna take time but I'm super pumped. This man is one of my role models.
Can you please tell me which books you have read about my friend Jim Simons?
Im always in awe of brilliant people like this that form the world around us, behind the scenes, and probably deserve to be household names. Everything but average.
This should be a 2hr long interview.. the rush from the interviewer on the first part ended up being justified by the amazing last half were Jim could talk more freely about how he views the world. Such a fine gentlemen.
It's a shame that this video has only so few views. What a fascinating personality.
I just finished reading "The Man Who Solved the Market: How Jim Simons Launched the Quant Revolution" by Gregory Zuckerman about the Jim Simon, Renaissance Technologies and how it all started. Highly recommended!
Bloompicks just read it and felt it was disappointingly thin; fizzling out into a rant about Mercer / Trump.
The book is amazing. Very interesting from many aspects.
Excellent! Thank you for Supporting Math, Science and R & D Jim Simons. You're highly appreciated and motivating role model.
I thought this would be more technical, but I loved it. Peacenik, philanthropist, philosopher!
"Can you explain what that work was" "No" HAHAHHA such a badass
It was funnyyyy 😂 #nope
laojace at what time?
@@JohnSmith-un1zj 23:08
what stupidity
This was work for government and it is still top-secret. Thats why.
The thing I appreciate most of this man is that despite his incredibly high level in his field, he is able to explain theories and facts or his findings in such a simple way that normal educated people could understand and even find interesting.
what field?
@@sonjak8265 mathematics, did you not watch the video?
@@kunkundalin I heard him mention the theorem on the relation among vertices, edges and faces, but did not hear him explain any mathematical theory in this interview.
@@sonjak8265 that's the deep mathematics theory u could learn. and high school only teach u the basic surface level of mathematics which mostly a dumb numbers.
Wow, this is one smart man and the way he can convey his thoughts so everyone can understand is simply brilliant!!
Absolutely brilliant man and great interview!
bad intervies great speaker stupid interviewer
if he could ever publish half of what he and his colleagues at renaissance found, that work would probably be nobel prize in economics worthy.
What he has done has nothing to do with economics and has more to do with finance. People have made just as much money with a lot less complexity and more transparency.
Finance is all about identifying profits and long term stability of those products so that growth can be achieved. The balance sheet equation is just as important as it was 25 years ago.
Certain things hold true no matter what because they are rooted in philosophical logic.
If he did publish than everyone will copy his strategies there is a reason why he is a very private person.
Or just crash the markets. Some need to lose so some can make money.
@@bighands69 Lol you claim to know finance, but talk about basic accounting (A = L+E) and compare it to the work of renaissance. Renaissance doesn't take money from LPs because they return all of it in few months. What other fund is doing it at this pace? None. People haven't made this much money at this scale at close to the same pace.
@@mod2
I have no idea what you are talking about. Can you explain what you mean.
Common problem with a lot of interviewers. Love their own voice.
So true, the only thing they love more is their own farts.
It may seem like it, but because there is an audience and multiple speakers, TED talks are limited to 18 minutes (it's specified in the guidelines). The intent is to get snapshots from remarkable people in several domains, not go Joe Rogan. They are pretty religious about the format.
All I saw was the back of his head the whole clip
Too right - a great interviewer wants to make himself invisible
Or think we love it.. he needs lessons from joe rogan
Love to listen and learn from brilliant people. Truly inspirational and one of the best Ted Talks ever.
I remember the first time I encountered the Chern-Simons theory, I was struggling to learn quantum field theory. from what I recall, for string theory, if the Euler characteristic is described by wrapping polygons around the sphere, this describes the modes of vibration for an open string, i.e., V-E+F = 2, so 2 is the number of poles (singularities) connecting the ends of the string. For the torus, 0 poles, so this describes a the modes of vibration of a closed string. I think C-S theory comes in when you're looking for discrete combinations (combinatorial stuff, like Jim mentions) of modes. So instead of looking at all the modes, i.e. a continuum, you get a quantization of the string modes. Speaking strictly form memory and the greatest humility. He is a very inspiring type of guy, it folks like him that encourage the rest of us to learn things are far outside of average.
He definitely needed more time. The interviewer was rushing him. This guy knows too much to squeeze into a 20-30 minute interview
I didin't like or dislike your comment because it had wisdom for sure. But also, I will say, the interviewer did well considering their job is to draw out as much information as they can in a 20 to 30 minute interview.
One of the best TED talks on youtube
@chris Anderson, I am your biggest fan. Thank you for sharing..
This interview was much, MUCH too short. Great video!
Absolutely agree!
Brady Haran has an hourlong interview on his channel. (Numberphile)
That sigh at 11:25
+ABitOfTheUniverse He was rudely interrupted imo.
What a treat to listen to Jim. Thank you for the interview, and your inspiration.
Love reading his book 'The Man Who Solved the Market'. Got it on Audible and keep listening to it over and over. Along with Mike Bellafiore's books. Love em.
This guy is a gift to the human race
More talks like this and less feminist/pseudoscience/spiritual talks please!
joey I completely agree
Ahahaha!
I'm with you, too.
spiritual talks that aren't based on religion is cool tho
only if your values are limited to money
19:05 So glad this, talk took this turn.
Chris runs the show.
He was a lot more humble years ago before his guests, years ago.
Excellent Video! Great Ted Talk! What a legend!
The Interviewer doesn't let Jim Simons speak freely
hey
Don't know what you're talking about. Maybe you could cite an example.
Um.....yes.....and no. (To some this is so; to some Jim's "long-winded.") Ergo: Chris Anderson is "just doing his job." Well....by some, apparently not by you.
How many do? With their own remit trying to make the event more exciting !
@@age_of_reason You're a freaking idiot. If you can't see the fact that the interviewer doesn't even let him finish one "COMPLETE" thought without him interrupting Jim. STFU with your "cite an example" B.S. Here are some examples for you from
@Elia Kaiser "Age of Reason Age of Reason Age of Reason To give you some examples. 10:54 / 11:26 You can ever hear Jim breath a little heavier cause he‘s anoyed. / and 13:55 just to name few :)"
Most of this was over my head, but the one thing I was able to take away is that the interviewer loves the sound of his own voice.
i agree with that
Such an amazing video, you need to stick thru till the end
Keep up the good work, love your show
I for one think the interviewer did an excellent job here. Of course, there was a few instances of the interviewer stepping on mr. Simons conversation there was also many instances of mr. Simon cutting off the interviewer because he had so much enthusiasm for what he wanted to say.
Great content. You can’t stop learning in this business, I have seen innovative minds and I am patience enough with my option trying to save up and invest for good days ahead.
Well said Kim. I have learnt this while working on my old job, it only pays more when investing is involved. Couldn’t just rely on my salaries
You are both lucky, it terrible trying to keep up here I just started watching videos online. l’m seriously in need of financial growth.
Kim what is your take in this?
I agree
Hannah Cholerton we have similar opportunities to turn things around. I have seen how it works and it pays enormous. I just need a good funding that’s all.
What a fantastic presentation
10/05/24 press F to pay respects
Interviewing is definitely a skill.
The whole time he's talking, all I could think was - "white Morgan Freeman".
Morgan Freeman couldn't handle a candle to this cat.
Looool
That's fair, because Jim Gates is a black Morgan Freeman, an isomorphism. There must be a Chern-Simmons classification for this, LOL!
Using the powerful knowledge provided by math to become millionaire in financial markets is not noble, sorry!
I can't un-imagine this now.
Great mind and must take his lessons and adapt to our lives. Live better and Share.
Jim Simons is a very inspiring man.
He doesn't wear any socks 🤣, that proves it, he is a genius !
4:59 "The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics" Yes, the universe functions in accordance to mathematics, not the other way around.
Origins of life? The true nature of the Universe? What drives the Universe? What powers stars, the Sun? The true nature of comets?

Subhanallah, On hadist says Allah give 1 drop knowledge to human from entire ocean in earth , compare with knowledge from him.
So telling! Great man
inspired to have an actual idea from this ted talk thanks Jim really inspired me today.
The way this man looks, talks, his attitude and his response to questions totally reminds me of Greg Popovich both incredible minds 🤔
To everyone complaining about him being cut off by the interviewer, please understand there is a time limit to get this vast amount of information out
Exactly my thoughts 🙏🏼
Yeah, TED events are held with audience and multiple speakers. The TED guideline specifies that the maximum length of any talk is 18 minutes. It's the optimal compromise between information, attention span and respect for the other speakers. They are pretty religious about it.
There's a reason Ted videos are supposed to be dedicated to a topic. This went around all his life, not letting him properly clear things around any of it.
Good interview. I don't agree because of Spiritual beliefs on the beginning, but I think this man has a great mind. I did understand what he did with the "wall street" system, and think it makes sense, but then I don't have the team of mathematicians he had. I enjoyed this interview.
Hint: When your “beliefs” run counter to proven fact, stay in the fact world. It keeps you from falling off cliffs you refuse to believe exist.
Classic case when a big mind is interviewed by a small one. The small one wants to do the talk.
another great comment
Stfu
Dude, the interviewer is a reputed physicist himself. You dont know what you are talking about.
That's why we are commenting here rather than interviewing an Tedx speaker.
@@LightHumor99 " (Chris) Anderson initially studied physics before changing to philosophy, politics and economics, and graduated in 1978." - Wikipedia
Being reputed in physics is also a very big word.
It's amazing how his interruptions kill specific thoughts Mr Simons is trying to explain...
Great guy.. I like his relaxed attitude.
This guy should be making videos, that should be distributed in every public school in the United States. He says things Concisely, with no buzzwords. You remind me of my cousin and all of my uncles when I was a kid when they explain things to me.
12:00 What a novel idea? Hiring people for their merit, as opposed to using other metrics.
I know this guy from Numberphile!
The numberphile interview is great!

Nikola Tesla:
"If you only knew the magnificence of the 3 6 and 9, you would have the key to the Universe"
Science uses numbers to count, I use them to play and attribute functions to them, just as they were alive + the 7 colors of the rainbow.
Polarity blueprint secret in the visible spectrum of light:
HOT Balance Cold
Red-Orange-Yellow ]Green[ Blue-Purple-Pink
0) 1 ]2 3 {4 | 5} 6 7[ 8 (9
Add them up as palindrome an all will result 9
0+9=9; 1+8=9; 2+7=9; 3+6=9; 4+5=9; (this and colors are the only recursive information as the torus field has no end and beginning only two dark spots as emergence points to make some sense of the Universe and every force within it) Just as a puzzle or door, you need to figure out how to open it to reveal all it's secrets. Mother nature and the Father are man and woman, controlled by the main polarity-shift (existing and not), which is self or God.
For 2000 years mankind has contemplated on it's source-code with no prevail. The problem, from my point of view is our medium or surroundings. We live in a space, where we can only perceive reality from our surroundings point of view. Man has never been able to think past, what he observes. We can state, that the words and ideas we are playing with are a product of observation, just like we are playing with LEGO pieces, yet we never think past those individual components, that make up our current EARTH-bound reality.
The question is:
Is it possible for the human brain to come up with something, that can explain everything and understand every force, reality, matter, dreams, illusions, magic, masonic wisdom, occult wisdom and every possible outcome, that can ever exist?
My answer is yes! In order to reach full explanation of everything, man must take some starting points in consideration:
- the theory must be understood by all beings, not just on Earth, but also from other star-systems and realities, even formless-matter-less lives, just like God or the Devil;
- the theory must have some information, that everyone can relate to, from the highest PHD intelligence to the lowest and stupidest beings;
- the theory must not be forced upon anyone, meaning that it must leave free will alone, so that the being can apply it in his or her reality, without limiting it's perception (not forcing it like: "this is the way it is, and you must accept it")
- the theory must include and solve everything from all mathematical problems (like the Riemann Hypothesis) to every branch of science and it MUST even present the means to cure every disease, neutralize radiation and it must fix any problem invented and not understood by man.
- the theory should accomplish man's every desire and it must make it reality, by letting man have the means to build or accomplish anything he or she may want.
- the theory must answer every question asked by a being, even what happens after death and explain how ascension is possible (the rainbow body).
- and finally, the theory must exist and not in the same time, just as it was told in all stories and riddles invented by everyone so far in our collective recorded story (not his-story, but our collective story)
From my 3 points of view what all people on this Earth neglected is LOVE! Man has came up with simplistic forms of representation like Pythagoras an Fibonacci, after which he reasoned, that he can't crack the code like that so man ventured in complicated explanations, in the same time losing itself in the division (cube reality view) process of though. So we have built particle accelerators to observe the small, finally reaching a limit, that we called the plank. Understanding we can never go beyond the singularity we ventured in the macro, by building telescopes and started to discover huge planets, spaces, stars, black holes and galaxies, observing, that all is connected like a web. Never being able to decode the micro and macro, we have lost ourselves between the two limit-boundaries, that we called nothing and infinity.
Einstein came along and presented us with a simple representation form, funnily enough explaining energy. Energy means movement or disturbance in a field so mankind has gave in to this stupidity, loosing itself in the power-struggle, just as the equation represents. Since man is the pentagram (head, 2 arms, 2 legs), mankind (science) has lost himself in the division process of self, that in it's simplest form can be written as follows:
5/2=2.5/2=2.5/2=2.5/2=2.5/2=2.5/2=....... to infinity, until we reach the big RIP of self and so the Universe.
Since we have forced our minds to view everything as energy, we have built the LHC (huge power to access small understanding) and we even attributed the name "Dark expansion Force" to the observation of the acceleration of the Universe. Dark to my understanding means something bad, validated by the statement above, which is the division trap. Ever wondered why we keep saying thinking out of the box and not some other geometrical form? The box is the cube reality view, that is keeping us locked from ourselves (understanding) with 90 degree angles, just as we have built up the world, present in water pipe angle turns, most of our buildings and design structures. Unfortunately, once trapped in this lock, there is no way, man can escape it, since "science" alone has been the best tool, in explaining everything so far and we can even use it to measure and build technology with it, that we use in our daily life, never paying attention to how it may affect us. Since all devices and inventions came from this reality view, they are also a product of the same thought process keeping us even more locked away in the box.
The real Theory of Everything must have an emotional impact also, since man is not based on just logic, but also emotions! Logic is a product of understanding, while emotions are a product of imagination. Like it has been said by Kabbalists, GOD created man to experience boundless fun and joy, without any limitation (infinity). How can we achieve this task? Let me say this. In the beginning there was nothing, not even space or anything, that can be understood, what commonly we refer to as the VOID. Since God created existence, God became existence itself and so every form of life possible in the Universe. Throughout evolution we arrived at this state, where Humans were created and reached a level of understanding, where, by looking into the water, man recognized himself, meaning man is the only being capable of consciously being aware of his existence. Creation was a dangerous game, since in order for God to make all this we see reality, it must gave himself completely away, by becoming it (the point), in the process loosing everything, even the though of creation and all the blueprint, that led reality in this state. So we can state, that God was a form of existence, that we can never be able to reason. God, before becoming everything and all reality, God has thought out all Creation, after which God realized, that the only way to make it possible is by giving himself completely away to it, drawing the fact, that God will lose everything, even the theory, which led him here (since the only "LEGO pieces" God had available to use in the VOID, was only and only the though, which from our understanding is information). Man, since it is capable of reason, man has the monumental task to realize how he came here, and in the process of cracking the though source-code, man will realize, that he is really God, and God is present in every detail throughout all reality. This is why none were capable of getting to TTOE, since none has the courage of stating, that he or she is God, drawing the fact, that God is also everything, that we observe.
Technology is doing the thinking for us, while we get dumber and dumber, even forgetting to calculate and do everything in our minds. This is why analog has always conquered digital, since analog is continuous and digital is quantization of information.
I have uploaded the real TOE on my TH-cam channel as slides and interactive presentation, where i have added, not just good, but also evil phrases, so the reader can understand, that fear and pain is preventing him to decode and understand it all. One to realize the truth it must have in sight not just light, but also dark forces, meaning in order to get somewhere, we must realize not just the good, but also the bad, that the good draws with it.
THEORY (reality) document LINK: th-cam.com/video/UBxKXQ8luEI/w-d-xo.html
I state, that I can answer, EVERY question mankind has, even all technology, psychology or any other field of interest to anyone no matter of the nature of the question

In May 2009, Simons was questioned by investors regarding the pattern of losses in a Renaissance fund owned by outside investors while the investments held by Simons and fund associates (Medallion fund, a separate fund that only contains the personal money of the firm's executives) enjoyed enormous gains in value.
🐑💨🐑💨🐑💨🐑💨
Truly inspiring.
Given time constraints, it was good that the interviewer clarified the gists of what the interviewee said by asking summarising questions which facilitate understanding of audiences unfamiliar with scientific and financial concepts.
For those who don't know how he cracked Wall Street. Him and his friends are mathematicians. They collected tons and tons of data from ages ago some of which is inaccessible. They weren't traders so they hired scientists and traded but mainly researched. With all this data these guys fed it to A.I which now trades for him.
So, I'm guessing there will be a lot of copy cats who do the same. Now with the AI taking off. My question is what will this do to the Markets? Bigger swings or flat neutrality? I read the LTCM book, they were all geniuses too, yet they failed. What separates Jim from them?
The rules of physics are equally applied to everything at every scale, so if he's right of course he'll be right across other fields
An amazing tale.
A truly fascinating man 👌

Can you begin to imagine how a person with a Jim Simons intellect suffers by just living in this world?
they excel, not suffer
These kinds of people don't really live in the same world
6:21 if you find this stuff interesting, it comes from a branch of mathematics (combinatorics to be precise) called Graph Theory. In fact, you'll do the very exact proof of "Euler's formula" (vertices - edges +faces = 2) in that class too ;)
Rafid Chowdhury Was just learning this from Robert Edward Grant!
Thank you Jim Simons.
Commodities do trend so does technology stocks its good to hear from a guy who was a pioneer to this approach and staying ahead the market just by having fun with NUMBERS
True story: A Brazilian man invested $400 in Microsoft in 1987. His return was 12,100% by 1997, of $48,800. He sold MSFT shares and bought Apple shares simply because Steve Jobs returned to Apple. He sold Apple shares in 2012 and made 11,000% on $48,800, his then had $5,4 million. And guess what, he bought Tesla shares and still owns them... since than Tesla went up 900%. This guy made $54 million from $400 invested 30 years ago. I think this man is the greatest investor of all time. He never paid any taxes, because he is a resident of Turks and Caicos since 1995, he married there and now operates a hotel there. But he made 54 million from $400. That is just unbelievable.
Gorko Istinovic what’s his name?
Gorko Istinovic he bought some shitaltcoin recently
if you know any statistics you would know that it is guaranteed to have some proportion of the population who participate in stock market to achieve this kind of return. but at the same time, there are LOADS of people who lose their money by making decisions like this. what this man and most hedge fund look for is RISK ADJUSTED return. not some probability of astronomical return with a probability of 0.001%.
Dapper Don yeah right
Dapper Don. That's nothing. Crypto market was incredibly volatile in a bullish way from new hype that came in, so even people with no idea on investing could chuck in $50 and come out with 1k in no time..
Haha surprised to find that quite like my style. Although the interviewer sometimes interrupted, but actually he did address the key trends and guided the direction. Both did good job.
I do love these guys... super smart and vary interesting...
vary interesting indeed........
Wow wonderful interview 😇
A disappointingly short interview with Jim Simons; a man who has a very interesting life, is very knowledgeable and clearly has a lot of intelligent things to say.
The interviewer keeps interrupting him. So annoying!
Again, cite an example instead of just saying that. This is an interview with a mathematician. At least show your work son.

the interviewer needs to shut his mouth more and let Mr. Jim Simons more freely explain what he is asked about.

I really don't how could people dislikes this revolutionarist. God bless
How brilliant!
Interviewer wasn't as bad as everyone is bitching about. He moved the conversation along and had to cover a lot of topics.
"that's the thing about mathematics; you never know where it's gonna go"

He actually dresses quite stylish for his age.
I agree. He looks quite dapper.
yea except for the capri's... those are meant for women
A man his age really should be wearing socks. I don’t care how smart he is.

When I hear about philanthropic actions that include paying teachers more I feel demoralised. I agree that teachers should be rewarded for their efforts, and they should not have to take on extra jobs just to live. But when a Billionaire decides to step in and do something to help secure the future of the nations children I tells me that state and federal governments are failing.
Rudy Pilotto Naw. It just means that he values an hour of a teacher's time more than the rest.
There's a huge difference between a billionaire voluntary giving money to causes he believes in and the government forcing people who don't have billions to give them your money without your consent.
State and federal governments need to do less and pay off the trillions in debt that they racked up through blatant disregard for the money they took.

Joshua O "Yeah if he wanted to be poor his whole life. That sounds fun doesn't it" Abandoning a complex expansive art thatyou fell in love with to pursue monetary gain in a sterile field consisting mainly of administration and IT sounds super fun yeah! I'm sure Einstein would of been happier if he remained a patent clerk and Terrence Tao would be over the moon as a an accountant.
You are all talking about how the interviewer should have let him speak more and not cut him off. But the guy he is interviewing didn’t actually want to directly answer a lot of his questions and gave broad or evasive answers to a lot of questions either bcse he felt the generals public would not understand these complicated mathematical concepts, bcse he didn’t want to give out his trade secrets, or simply bcse he isn’t comfortable talking in front of such a big crowd.
But the truth is for whatever reason he didn’t really cooperate with what the interviewer was asking and the interviewer truly asked very valid questions that were very well organized in sequence. Very honestly both men are great men in their own fields and the interviewer is one of the best in the whole world and he does an amazing job taking to these remarkable individuals.
But you have to understand it is his job to get juice out of him and if he’s not really biting he has to bounce of and keep the flow going to make for a very interesting conversation worth being televised otherwise the whole thing would fall flat. We always tend to critique others but some situations simply are as they are. The interviewer did really good considering all the circumstances and is perhaps one of the best interviewers in the entire world otherwise he wouldn’t be assigned by Ted to interview all these remarkable people.
Objectively speaking I don’t think any average person could come remotely close to his interviewing or public speaking skills.
The truth is pulling off a televised or an important you tube broadcasted interview in this case comes with natural constraints and sometimes things like this happen either bcse the two people talking naturally don’t have the very best organic chemistry in the world or simply bcse the person interviewed is not comfortable or bcse the audience is not responding properly.
All in all, considering all the circumstances and factors both the interviewer did very well, he tried to make the guest comfortable without bothering him and to make for a very good interview worth watching regardless of the situation he was dealt.
We shouldn’t judge and critique others so fast bcse these things are not as easy as they look. And in the entire world very very few people can pull off such interviews on this level.
The interviewer actually showed true mastery and know how in handling the situation at hand. I really doubt anybody in the comment section could have done better than him if they were actually directly engaging with an old mathematician that is not that comfortable being on stage or answering a lot of the questions.
Both men are obviously great people but some things simply are as they are.
I am bothered by the inappropriateness of the questions of the host - especially when the speaker is explaining a thought. Thank God he is a genius, he always gets it back to the topic :)
Next time they should have someone who at least took some basic statistics in college to do the interview...
