Bro, I can sum up your entire philosophical outlook in 5 words in French: "If faut cultiver notre jardin." In 3 words, Cultivate our garden. "Il faut" is sort of a slightly stronger way of say "One must." Pair that with, "It is through suffering that learning comes." (Aristotle?). As for creativity, "90% perspiration, 10% inspiration." - Mark Twain. Also the notion of the starving artist in NYC went the way of B & W tv in 1960. In the early 1980s is went the art market really blew up and has since created millionaire after millionaire after millionaire. Of course one has to put in the work- (refer to above quotes). As far going to NY, "Audacity is essential to greatness" -Goethe. Finally, " Nobody ever went to Pittsburg to become famous." Andy Warhol. Lol.
You are right on a lot of things, but Voltaire is not the guy for motivation. Voltaire is very clever and funny, but his anti-Christianity stuff was bad for France, and is bad for individuals. Even he knows that "Philosophers do not need God, but most men are not philosophers... I want my doctor and my tailor to believe in God, so they don't rob me." - Voltaire.
Great talk! Look forward to more. Not sure I agree that IQ is the best predictor of career success. I think the number one predictor is probably EQ (emotional intelligence) along with IQ, motivation, ambition, perseverance, socioeconomic background, health, personality and - luck. I like the presentation setup as well - you on one side and on the other scrolling past the text (which is larger). 👍
Thanks! When I say "IQ" what I mean is "academic skills." Theoretically, they are two different things, but in school they are considered the same. Eg. SAT score is an "IQ" test. It's easy to increase SAT scores, if a student simply studies for the test. Step #1 for some competitive careers like allopathic medicine is to get into medical school. That's an academic challenge. Same with med school. Later on, personality becomes more important for getting promoted, etc. My Stanford freshman dorm had 12 premeds, and only 4 got into med school. Most gave up, because they started getting C's for the first time in their lives. They could have gone to an easier college, and gotten A's, and made it into med school. Premed and med school education is mostly a memorization contest. A trained memory does a lot better in memorization contests. This is a GIANT neglected thing. I've never met a student in my life that learned study skills in grade school or high school. I took a "how to college class at Stanford" which didn't go into hardly any detail. I really learned from meeting a guy who was getting A+'s, and then from reading books about study skills and memorization.
@ Great points. Thanks for the further explanation. To a degree it depends on the career somebody pursues. Most do not require all the advanced study and training that you have received. Careers in business where sales skills are critical, you often see people who did not excel at school, they may have dropped out of school - then go onto earn hundreds of millions of dollars. I know a number of people like this. Is this a function of IQ? Perhaps it is more a function of people skills and Determination, refusal to give up because of massive ambition. So different careers require different amounts of IQ to make massive success. This is where EQ might come in.
Thanks I really need the motivation that this kind of information brings. I appreciate your books and videos about food but this kind of information is also very important. Thanks for sharing and motivating Pete.
Thanks! Some of what I'm getting at is that of an appreciative mindset. Education is an opportunity to learn the best of the past. Study skills are valuable, for grades of course, but also for being able to learn faster, whatever you want to know. Seeing the great things done by the ancient Greeks, the renaissance, etc. is inspiring. All of this generates energy. High energy motivation leads to higher achievement. And it makes it enjoyable. It's fun to learn something that you want to know. A happy, motivated student with excellent study skills learns faster, and enjoys school more, and will self educate better for whatever challenges come along.
Yes. One can use good study skills to learn anything. All grade and high schools should teach study skills and memorization skills and money skills and marriage skills, but NONE of them do. Maybe they don't care about the students? They've got budget money to drug them for adhd. They've got budget money to cast rate them to "affirm" their Jen deer.

Doc, why do 50 reps of a lighter weight squat instead of 5 reps with a heavy weight
@@Mike-l7g5e To reduce risk of injury. For endurance. High intensity training.

Is study skills more important than the subject it is to be applied in?
Yes. One can use good study skills to learn anything. All grade and high schools should teach study skills and memorization skills and money skills and marriage skills, but NONE of them do. Maybe they don't care about the students? They've got budget money to drug them for adhd. They've got budget money to cast rate them to "affirm" their Jen deer.
@ thanks doc
How come that book didn’t work for you then?
I was a phenomenal student.
