turns out you can just invite people into a room on campus every sunday, tell them to build anything they're curious about, and incredible things can happen. what a day today was. 25+ demos, 3 speeches, and the most contagious energy i've ever seen on this campus. more to come.

lots of people say they value “impact” and yet rarely get to see results from their actions on the people right in front of them. yesterday we changed that. every single demoer went to the front, a little shaky or unprepared, but with incredible energy towards the unique thing…

@nick_linck what's the primary thing stopping them from building? seems to mostly be a culture problem to me. we value the reputation that comes with university education too highly and the only high-reputation options outside of uni have a low likelihood of success (e.g. startups).

The best part of class was students surprising me by asking questions, presenting something creative, or sticking around after the session for conversation. All motivated by pure curiosity. Not for grades—there weren’t any. Learning driven by curiosity outperforms all else.

“It’s like school, but I actually want to be here.” It didn’t take long for students to realize that learning doesn’t require lecture format. In fact, I hardly needed to prepare materials. Most of my prep came from years of unstructured exploration and testing of the concepts.

I think these apps feel more natural because our brains are made for perceiving space. "The concept of space serves as the organizing principle by which we perceive and interpret the world, even in abstract ways."

The Brain Maps Out Ideas and Memories Like Spaces | Quanta Magazine

Emerging evidence suggests that the brain encodes abstract knowledge in the same way that it represents positions in space, which hints at a more universal theory of cognition.
