It was the story that led me to develop what I call <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=FrNqSLPaZLc\">The Feynman Technique<\/a> which is basically the idea that if you can&#8217;t explain it yourself, maybe you don\u2019t really understand it. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em><span class=\"s1\">Going through things and explaining them to yourself is always a better way to understand something.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em><span class=\"s1\"><b>Kalid: <\/b>It\u2019s one of my favorite books, I&#8217;m always thinking, &#8220;What would Feynman do?&#8221; He has a Socratic wisdom to him where he pretends not to know anything and he\u2019s always willing to question himself and others. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em><span class=\"s1\">I think his attitude towards learning is to take away the academic pedestals and the reverence of experts and sort of, work things out for himself. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em><span class=\"s1\">He\u2019s not afraid to say he\u2019s confused and he asks people to give examples when needed. That type of attitude leads to real understanding. For me it\u2019s inspiring to see someone who has reached the highest level in his field and have that approach.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>We also discuss Feynman&#8217;s confidence and humility and his unique ability to question absolutely everything, including himself.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em><span class=\"s1\"><b>Scott: <\/b>In Feynman\u2019s case I see this fearlessness to try things and do new things and feel as though he will be successful. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em><span class=\"s1\">On the other hand you have this profound humility. I think he said something to the effect of \u201cI know how hard it is to know a thing\u201d &#8230; He didn\u2019t just accept things or take them for granted. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em><span class=\"s1\">Even from his own perspective, I don\u2019t think he took his own ideas with that much conviction unless he had personally proven it himself. On the other hand you have this incredible confidence and they seem to work seamlessly together.&nbsp;<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em><span class=\"s1\"><b>Kalid: <\/b>I think his success came from his willingness to admit he didn\u2019t know so I think.&nbsp;<\/span><\/em><em><span class=\"s1\">A man can\u2019t learn what he thinks he already understands. I think Feynman was wiling to constantly question himself<\/span><span class=\"s1\">.&nbsp;<\/span><span class=\"s1\">Confidence and humility are not opposed. I think the caricatures might be. But in Feynman\u2019s case I think it was a confidence in the process. I think he was confident that by questioning things and being humble would eventually get him to understand things better. <\/span><span class=\"s1\">I think he was confident in the strategy.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Kalid and I talk about Feynman&#8217;s experience with the impact of different educational traditions, memorization versus understanding and the idea &#8220;educational theatre&#8221;.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em><span class=\"s1\"><b>Scott: <\/b>I\u2019ve seen that a lot when talking to students often from other educational traditions. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em><span class=\"s1\">Often, they\u2019ll talk about how they have to memorize everything and I don\u2019t know whether that\u2019s a systematic thing, meaning that, certain educational systems, they like the \u201crepeat the definition of X\u201d verbatim rather than did you actually understand it.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em><span class=\"s1\">But, it may be true that in other places the way that you\u2019re tested really benefits someone who is going to memorize instead of understand. I think Feynman had some sharp words to say about that. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em><span class=\"s1\"><b>Kalid:<\/b> I think it\u2019s easier to test a memorized definitions than it is to ask a creative question. Ultimately we\u2019re concerned about true education and not just education theatre, sort to speak. If we actually want to understand something, we need to go beyond those memorizations.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>And finally, we discuss our key takeaways from this profound book.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em><span class=\"s1\"><b>Kalid: <\/b>I think the first takeaway is recognizing when things make sense and it\u2019s okay for things not to make sense. Something might click, great, if it doesn\u2019t, maybe you can resolve it then or maybe you can write it down later. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em><span class=\"s1\">Everyone has their own checklist or their own requirements but you should have something&#8230; Have a standard for yourself, it\u2019s important. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em><span class=\"s1\">I think Feynman would stop people and ask them for a plain English example if they were explaining something and he couldn\u2019t understand it. Whatever it is for you, having that standard is important. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em><span class=\"s1\"><b>Scott:<\/b> I think if I were to say the biggest takeaway from how Feynman was doing things was to be curious and I think that sounds really simple but you can see how (in the book) he gets himself into situations and how your intuitive response, like what you\u2019d do by reflex, is not actually what he does in the book. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em><span class=\"s1\">It might be his confidence or his charisma but I think a lot of it is his curiosity. He\u2019s genuinely interested in trying to find out about things. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em><span class=\"s1\">I feel as though this was brought up in the discussion about this curiosity. A lot of people asked \u201caren\u2019t interest or curiosity just inherent qualities?\u201d <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em><span class=\"s1\">You know, you can\u2019t just snap your fingers and be as smart as Feynman so you shouldn\u2019t be able to snap your fingers and be as curious. But, I actually disagree here. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em><span class=\"s1\">I think that curiosity is something that you cultivate and it\u2019s because a lot of the things that push us away from curiosity are these encrusted fears and aversions that we have to things from maybe negative exposures in the past. Particularly through school.&nbsp;<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em><span class=\"s1\">I think if you take it from the perspective that curiosity and interest is something you can cultivate to the extent that you want to tear down those barriers, I think there\u2019s a huge benefit and possibility. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For those of you who want to read the book, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/Surely-Youre-Joking-Mr-Feynman\/dp\/0393316041\">it is available here<\/a>.
