I recently discovered autodidacts & polymaths and it was like stepping into the light. I've been an undisciplined autodidact polymath for years!
I'm going to have to watch this video a few times to soak everything up. Thank you so much for the content.
I'm really glad I found this channel.
Thanks for mentioning this. It is like being in the light very much - that's a great way to think about it.
Glad you came up in my feed. As a neurodivergent person I’m fascinated about the idea of a book that tells a story AND improves memory. (Alas, it’s not a genre I enjoy reading). Wow! I hope it does very well.
Thanks so much for your post.
Flyboy and the other Memory Detective projects definitely aren't for everyone. I have plans to go into other genres as well.
But if it helps, there's a slight sci-fi aspect to Flyboy which grows in Vitamin X.
And if I were still a Film Studies professor, I would say that actually Flyboy belongs to the Oedipus Genre. This is a kind of "super genre" that transcends whatever category this or that story appears to be in.
That's because it combines the three main conflicts between:
Body & Soul
Civilization & wilderness
Innocence & experience
Few stories locked strictly in a genre manage to bridge all three together. And I doubt the people who have told me they like Flyboy would have cared more for it at all if I hadn't managed to weave all those conflicts together as part of teaching the art of memory.
In any case, that doesn't mean it still won't feel like a detective novel, and I don't blame anyone for not liking it. There's lots not to like in crime overall, which is why the hero of this story and his situation had to involve it. The hero must be forced to go precisely where he least wants to, after all. That's storytelling rule number one. :-)
The old Ed Sullivan Show-Spinning Multiple Plates -This is yet another great video to help accentuate how that is achieved.Thanks Doc!
Bring on the plates! :-)
Hi Andrew loving your stuff, I’m an adult educational teacher and have started to learn about Memory palaces from your content-Thankyou,
However I was not able to motivate my own students to learn.
One commented “What’s the point of memorising a deck of cards I’m never going to a casino”
I was wondering if there are short courses that lead to possible careers for adults that would benefit from having a great trained memory. Keep up the great work.
When people ask me what's the point of memorizing cards, I ask them what's the point of climbing Mt. Everest?
One possible answer is: Because it's there.
You'll learn a lot about focus, concentration, memory and the nature of information by memorizing cards too.
And by noticing all the objections people throw up around such clearly wild and wonderful things to do, you'll learn a lot about human nature.
There are more reasons, but I hope this short list gives you something to go on.
Such an informative and practical video! 👏🏻💎
I got a question for you though Anthony, when engaging into an autodidacting/self-learning project, how do you deal with distractions and "the next shiny thing" syndrome?
Preferably using memory techniques.
Thanks for checking it out!
One of the things I do is to follow the Self-Education Blueprint and the additional points covered in The Autodidact Advantage.
Beyond that, it's really just a choice to focus on "this" instead of "that." And I have my little mantras to remind me to keep my eyes focused on the ball.
It's also a willingness to commit to a less is more attitude, noting that I've studied the nature of information a lot. I have built a personal philosophy that looks deeply at recursion and pattern recognition and don't really think there's anything nearly as shiny or new as it seems...
Except perhaps when it comes to continually exploring the wonderful world of memory.
Which is part of my point on this channel. Better memory = better living, so the more we focus on sharpening our goals, the more we can remember the information that matters to leading more extraordinary lives.
Lots more to say on the topic, but at the end of the day, part of it is simply just not accepting that there is much that is "new," unless it is something worth memorizing.
Does this way of looking at things make sense?
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM
It most DEFINITELY makes sense!
Thanks for your interesting reply.
It's funny coz after I posted my comment, I followed through with your bonus video, and you actually touched upon these points I asked about!
So there's then a "Mindfulness" element to it. You gotta REMEMBER and remind yourself continually to keep your eyes on the ball.
I like that you mentioned the mantras. Are these part of a daily routine or you just "recite" them whenever the "next shiny thing demon 😈" peeks his head out?
I like this approach of priming and re-orienting the mind.
I enjoyed your video about Thor's Hammer for reading, and it seems to me like you're using the mantras in the same way, except that it's applied for more general situations in life. Isn't it the case?
The daily mantras work both ways. I have the main Sanskrit mantras and then these come up naturally on their own as part of the mix.
As for "general situations in life," the great thing about a daily meditation practice is you soon no longer consider any situation general. And you no longer really know exactly what defines "life."
Thank you Dr. Metivier. By the way I followed what you said in looking for syllabi from different universities wow this was awesome. I was able to adapt it and it works like a charm.
Glad you're using that tactic. It is powerful!
Thanks very much Anthony....as stated before, in this age of hyped "quick fix" new age guru's some real, some not....and the a.i distraction bots these guides are very important for life and knowledge and humanity.
So (without any political connatation) MAKE INTELLIGENCE GREAT AGAIN ....and ethics.
We definitely need to get together for the slow fixes based on foundations - more than ever before!
