23:00 revisionist history howard zinn - historical perspective of native tribes - approach in history re-write the perspective of historical framework perspective of local communities - the historical framework shifts - entire mechanism shifts there - in education the paradigm of education in 1700th century mindset - highly celebrates privileged individuals uncommon access to information in uncommon ways - revisionist history von neuman were privileged in their lives entire systems in society assume that privilege and celebrates it.

25:00 two lives happening simultaneously - staged life in academia not aligned in physical life assumptions of academic life tied into privilege - takes counter pressure to overcome privilege barriers to engage in that space -

26:30 structure of phd education did not exist until 1940s - look at first phds - the amount of research that is available - 70 years of academic work w 100s 1000s people doing it - phd candidate 2020 - amount of information a phd candidate has to process in 1960 but structure of degree has not changed much of the dominant paradigm - we really have to transform the entire ed sys so someone now can marinate on the idea

29:00 5-6 years in undergraduate or change last 2 years in hs so last 2 years you get to specialize - instead of having to figure out everything you have to do - allow those structures to change al ittle bit - amazing nature of the academic work to be produced - the scholars who control the process just bc they went through emotional pain doesn’t make them special

30:00- as we navigate those spaces of teaching jobs academic systems based on current systems have no mechanisms to be offered to you in that space - that challenge is - navigate those pressures while keeping those larger questions alive - student centered system - Raj Chetti has audacity to believe that

33:00 Jeff’s aunt daughters husband study bird - Jeff thought he shouldn’t have PhD at 28 the end of my PhD they put a baby a drivers seat - structure of your life - he was trying to finish his degree as a dad

35:00 Duckworth, Robin DeAngelo Dan Meyer

38:00 If jeff thought about this degree on a year to year basis are there any projects I can do in my personal life - eliminating martial arts - addicted to martial arts - first entered my mind vs

40:00 current generations of students has no idea of all the successes,

43:02Amplify Balaram’s Voice While Democratizing Jeff’s Guidance!

58:00 build a purpose - strategic deep learners to think about long term purpose if there’s no food on the table if you don’t have shelter or light in the home - engineers - in our ways to be - learning needs hierarchy - carve out some extra space to do that higher level of thinking

1:11:00 seek out a relatively constant stream of information outside of the academic degree that informs the way i think about myself

1:13:00 when thinking about purpose it’s not a destination - Jeff’s 50th draft can be considered second draft - what i want my life to include in the long run human being change on a daily basis as you get older your interest are gonna change life circumstances - recognizing purpose

1:20:00 purpose is most meaningful when it’s above economic activity it’s the benefit our communities that may be people our environment other living beings - value energy minimize suffering and maximize suffering - the closer i get to explicit answers on that the more daily actions

Comedy Sketch on Genius

The Transcript I wrote:

How do you tell a big idea is really a genius idea? Hint, it involves eyebrows.

Genius is solving a problem that others don’t think is a problem. Jeff Anderson’s Conquering College project is genius because not many people in his community wanna invest in cooperative learning, modeling and demonstrating what study skills & learning habits yield for students at large. Geniuses are 1s that are willing to be daring, and surely this involves some pushback since they’re going against the grain, the grain that is the dominant rhetoric & narrative, aka iphone 20 or the next tesla in the lab.

Now you might be thinking how do I go against the grain and become a genius? this is difficult to do when we’re stuck in this efficient vs. urgent limbo known as college education.  Most students have been conditioned to do the least they have to, to "get grades", so you might think of this as efficient. but when courses get tougher, and life gives you lemons of more responsibilities and freedoms, that efficiency becomes overwhelmed by urgency. The urgent feeling of doing what we need to do to actually learn in our courses.

Seth Godin wrote: 1 difference between science and art: If you can NOT replicate the work and get the same outcome, then it’s not science.

If you can replicate the work and get the same outcome, it’s not art.

ENGINEERing is real when Alan Turing Machines actually compute bits accurately, it does not do digital computations just by talking about binary 1s and 0s like I do.

Jeff has said in many robust ways to his students: when we teach theory so abstractly, only the most interested and advanced students can understand it, this is inequity…

Let me explain: Whoever said art was abstract, has never taken a course on theory of computation …  I feel the need for psychological services just by looking at this turing machine represented in this way!

machine states are annotated in yellow with bidirectional transitions of 0s or 1s denoted w lines and arrows.

you know how you can get a longer silence than you would ever want? when a professor asks "do you have any questions" again the answer is in the eye brows, sir madam… I appreciate the generosity of my professor to ask us, but where and which question do I begin with? This diagram feels more like art that I can’t comprehend, than science…

for all my friends who are trying to understand the concepts being delivered to you, just remember 1 thing. Professional major league baseball players whose average annual salary is $4.4 M dollars, get to be a professional by hitting the baseball 3 times in every 10 throws. so give yourself a chance by plan act and reflecting each class and module you complete, and move those eyebrows with conviction that you can learn anything you want to. Whether that be art or science, you are genius.

you can tell by how genius someone is by what they laugh at, so if you didn’t laugh at anything here, check yoself before you wreck yoself, boiiiiii

Plan Act Reflect Video - https://youtu.be/XJ-NlQKVbnc

00:00 Catchup

00:02 horizons of focus model and organization structure

00:08 scholarship prep and statement of purpose / create framework capture small milestone journal application / finding people who are close friends and colleagues who are successful and having them share the lessons / every dollar you spend have that be a dollar you earned back / invested in the book, read it deeply implement the plan /

00:15 horizons of focus: 1 scholarship exist on bottom tier / vision value and purpose / student makes the school the school doesn’t make the student / what do you want to do / *scholarship habit* / find mechanisms to fill the gaps of the institution to empower yourself to navigate more effectively also craft vision btw.

00:20 you can make $ be introspective and get credit for it / defining the institution to craft our own vision / UCDavis has a ton of valuable scholarships / leverage the value of the institution the student makes the school / ritual time to set aside the purpose / finding spaces and mechanisms to pull levers that exist at that school / flow of money show up physically

00:27 earning the right to study

00:31 maximize ROInvestment from college, minimize the cost, defining the value, think critically, i think it’s stupid inequities in our system that lead to disparte outcomes, students mind
