Humanizing technology
People are awkward so they would prefer direct things, so compare typing with brain vs typing and texting and calling
Anything that has kinetic movement or has sound, we humanize it -> the tablet thing, kids can learn better with real people and make technology as human as possible for content education and teachers for moral education
Social media / immersive or augmented reality?
How long should flow?

Why does it matter:
AI is a powerful tool that advancing a wide net of industries through it’s adaptable capabilities, the goal of implementing AI in education is not only common sense -- as we learn, the technology will learn with us -- but also because like all creations, institutions, and guidelines created by society, it is far from perfect and some of its holes are detrimental to the potential of our world’s greatest talents: our children.

Thoughts on reading Jacob’s Lego works:
I can see how legos and robo code in particular may prove to really serve valuable as an interface in AI in personalized education. For me, my creative aspects were definitely more artistic and visually oriented -- I actually was more interested in being creative with everything around me because inventing was definitely a huge part of my childhood -- but I always followed instructions and then built things with the scrap pieces. I believe google’s first server was built out of Lego, that’s where their colors come from! I totally see how games would help in education, I completely wish that games were way more creative. I always did what games told me to do, and I found them a bit boring and ultimately uneventful. I was more interested in drawing where a blank paper could turn into anything -- particularly origami. I was an huuuge origami person growing up -- almost in fact, obsessive. Paper became my medium to build things, even structure things. Wood was also a great medium for me. I liked building machines as well, but I used what I had. For example, I built a catapult out of a pomelo while building a trebuchet out of wood. I love the idea of turning CAD into a game, growing up I definitely loved design more than anything and was good at doing really wacky things around the house, working with worldly attributes of all different sorts -- from mechanical designs, to training animals, weakening certain materials -- I essentially learned best from my environment but I would like to design games that encapsulate that same creative process. I learned how to be resourceful by volunteering to help out wherever I could. Plus as a child, I had a lot of time on my hands and enjoyed pranking my attendant.

Immersive VR experiences for education <> “Papert's theory of learning, dubbed "constructionism," drew on Piaget's similarly named theory, "constructivism." Papert's idea was that computers could be a "Mathland" — a virtual space children could explore to discover and learn mathematics and other technical concepts, the same way that they learn French by visiting France.

By instructing the cursor, represented by a turtle, to move different distances in different directions, the children would absorb concepts of arithmetic and geometry.

combine these with augmented reality, and imagine the speed at which we will be able to compute things. Just like VR, I think that it is going to arm our artists and societal "bums" with tools so creatively powerful they will become the world's most powerful assets! Or at least, give another chance you know. I'm only so harsh with my words because I understand that there's a very strong positive correlation with the talented creative individuals who have ruined their careers with drugs, fame, and etc. What's strange is that it seems to kind of dwell in the creative industry. AIs can provide that structure to creativity, then our type A people will flourish under instruction.

Type B people will end up soaring as well! Every person has a place of belonging, and what is lacking is finding and applying those talent in teamwork. Connections like linkedIn sure odn't help those type B people, but things like Tumblr, Pintrests, Instagram. All those creative artsy sites which are random, chaotic, unstructured is where we see them shine. When you combine technical A talent and creative B talent together, incredible things are able to happen

I think that schools and public education is really unrefined in general, actually a lot of parents in the present are looking more into homeschooling instead of sending their children to school, and I love the idea of quality>quantity because I believe that each kid needs a lot more attention than they are given in a classroom of like 20-30 kids. I think that the internet is already an incredibly powerful tool for education; youtube, amazon, and other platforms can pull up suggestions based on your internet cookies and previous user-based patterns. In the process of learning, I really believe that everything needs to flow. Like in European education, children are taught how to #idea journal and even write their own textbook, during high school I remember asking a teacher "what's the most valuable lesson you've learned after teaching your kids math for 8 years" and that teacher replied that he learned the value of letting kids teach each other. In a conclusion, he found that when he let kids teach each other, the process was truly more effective than when he taught and the kids sat there and listened. I really love sites like Khan Academy, where the kids can choose the processes to learn, but again, it's unrefined. I read a Stanford article once about this classics major who learned math by just going through a problem set, so my idea with AI is learning from technology in a way that is more intuitive, getting kids into that flow. For example, when you're learning an instrument, you have to work your way up from the basics and it's a really hard struggle to get enough practice to the point where you're able to play those songs in "flow". Flow is the extreme focal point of concentration, where you are so immersed in the activity you get really into it and lose consciousness of your surroundings. It is completely distraction free, and it is an amazing experience. The goal with AI would be to turn a learning experience into a flowable environment, so getting rid of the waiting time that usually goes in between lessons. Lets say a researcher wants to find this topic, but then he has to go to the library, or type and search all over the internet, then he has to site the sources or find people to interview and set up things to conduct, he also has to deal with finding of team of people to help him out, but what if AI can automate admin tasks? Think of tech as an extension of yourself, it's just there to enhance and get rid of the busy work. Or say you're sitting in lecture and you get the material but the kid next to you is a bit slow, AI teachers are unlimited because virtuality is all abstract. It's an unlimited resource, and so should knowledge. That self-automation ability AI has through machine learning and training is incredibly cool since all we have to do is design a sufficient neural network and platform and assign accounts to each student and like how the brain works and the connections of your neurons are shaped through what you do and what you experience, the learning of the machine is also shaped. It's sort of like a video game, where you build up your points and it keeps track of it.I have a friend who said he learned an incredible amount of knowledge from playing video games, and he said games that were intentionally designed to be educational were lack luster and boring. Imagine if working on a math proof was a video game, and the entire world is a simulation was a video game. Each of us has a personal mission/purpose in life, and our biggest life challenges are games. I.e., in Shanghai, the population is just growing bigger and bigger and how are we supposed to engineer a solution to this problem? Engineers have created a solution by twisting up the towers so that they aren't knocked over by the wind. There is one TedX video I really love, and it talks about AI in design and for me that's something that really excites me. It's really like biomimicry, but on the basis of mathematics. Computers should just do what computers are good at, and humans should do what humans are good at, but the idea of AI and humans working together with drones for example, really is just so exciting for me. AI is capable of tackling engineering with us in a way that will blow us away, and not only that but also in the arts. For me, I am an artist with limited supplies. To make things happen, we need teamwork. It's not easy to build a team though, and it's certainly difficult to get your hands on the right/talented individuals. Humans can be judgemental, we forget to look at the best qualities and talents of each individuals and those broken connections can lead to a lack of productivity. AIs would theoretically truly see what you are capable of, they bring your talents to the front of the stage and connect you to the right people. I read part of this book once that talked about two types of people: Jon, type A type of person. Always to this office on time, keeps a calendar, schedule, very tidy, etc. Then there's another guy, Jack, he's late, messy, unaccountable. Jack is not someone Jon would want to work with, however, Jack is the type who is incredibly creative, out of him floods innovation and ingenuity. He's a genius. Again, AI has seen his artistic talent, and can inspire motivation. I see that often a lot of talented people are not supported in school systems, it can kill passion and motivation and while it's a natural process I believe that AI's automative capabilities can turn this disadvantage into a super power. IT can flourish educations with categorized team work and capabilities. #idea Instead of assigning traditional school projects, why not put kids on real-world applications such as urban planning, creative engineering art projects, ecology research. We put so much emphasis on tracking data than an AI can scout for us that we obsess over checklist systems and A+s instead of what unique capabilities we foster in our graduates and undergraduates. I have seen some really talented engineers work on crazy cutting-edge projects and be under-appreciated, overlooked and even punished for working on really meaningful stuff. I think fundamentals are important yes, but it's essential that we foster an environment that really cares about the students, because under bad leadership/teachers I think that kids can really start to disdain the fundamentals or things they don't have an aptitude for. Robots are very unbiased, unjudgemental, but an AI will always favor you because it was designed to cater to specifically you. Experimenting with different learning processes, and asking for user feedback. Of course, there's a lot of holes in this theory of mine, particularly the "how" would we achieve such things. I have a few combinations of ideas, past experiences, works in mind that shape this future vision, but realistically HCI or human computer interface is going to be extremely important when it comes to cultivating education. We want the proper amount of traditional old school socializing but higher quality in providing education that gives FLOW to each and every individual. #principle

For me, I really got super lucky because I met adults who favored me in a way where they personally took the time to open the door to specialized interest in learning. Whether it was a university professor who agreed to just meet up with me weekly and discuss some of the issues in global energy, or my high school biology teacher teaching me what it truly meant to be a critical thinker and question everything. Teachers are more than just textbooks, they have to teach you a certain philosophy, they teach you how to respect and be kind to others, we should be learning how to be human. Knowledge is garnered through experience, books, your own thinking, and practice. Like I guess tests are pretty good for pressuring you into memorizing a lot of stuff, but it's just not the same as real-life application and repetition and practice. I have learned a lot from cramming stuff into my head for sure, but to be honest I feel like I've lost a lot of knowledge and it kind of hurts me to know that I was so smart but all the information I worked so hard to build up has no real application/usage. Textbooks try to combat this by trying to do word problems, or like put in real-life applications; teachers try to give out lab experiments. #idea AI that works like internet cookies Browsing through the internet has a real power to it in that sense. AI has captured my imagination because of the philosophies of human consciousness, this is actually something one of my best friends and I have talked about in huge detail. He runs an AI company and he's interested in the idea of "to sell is human". So his company helps marketers figure out what to do, what to say, it helps companies SELL. AIs are capable of empathizing with humans, or at least mimicking it, and this is groundbreaking for me. When we incorporate behaviorial economics with design of social systems, I think the quality of our education and life will be exponentially more efficient and beautiful. We draw back to the question of why -- why do we go to such lengths to achieve humanity in our education? It's more the question that if we stick to such rigid systems, what we aren't training is the intuitiveness of humans, which will never be measured nor explained. Have we taught people how to take initiative, to take risks, to have passion and work ethic? #problem We expect kids nowadays to just have a passion/dream at such a young age and they have 0 to no help doing it. WE need other people to grow, we must feel like we BELONG, to a community. #problem We cannot achieve anything in isolation -- it doesn't matter if you isolate yourself in the woods for like 10 years and invent calculus like Newton did, or fall in love with only a pigeon and become an electrical pioneer like Tesla. Well at least that inspirational talk is nice, but logistically speaking the idea would be similar to some books I've read on homeschool education and a few examples of how AI is breaking through technology

I.e., in Shanghai, the population is just growing bigger and bigger and how are we supposed to engineer a solution to this problem? Engineers have created a solution by twisting up the towers so that they aren't knocked over by the wind. There is one TedX video I really love, and it talks about AI in design and for me that's something that really excites me. It's really like biomimicry, but on the basis of mathematics. Computers should just do what computers are good at, and humans should do what humans are good at, but the idea of AI and humans working together with drones for example, really is just so exciting for me. AI is capable of tackling engineering with us in a way that will blow us away, and not only that but also in the arts. For me, I am an artist with limited supplies. To make things happen, we need teamwork. It's not easy to build a team though, and it's certainly difficult to get your hands on the right/talented individuals. Humans can be judgemental, we forget to look at the best qualities and talents of each individuals and those broken connections can lead to a lack of productivity. AIs would theoretically truly see what you are capable of, they bring your talents to the front of the stage and connect you to the right people. I read part of this book once that talked about two types of people: Jon, type A type of person. Always to this office on time, keeps a calendar, schedule, very tidy, etc. Then there's another guy, Jack, he's late, messy, unaccountable. Jack is not someone Jon would want to work with, however, Jack is the type who is incredibly creative, out of him floods innovation and ingenuity. He's a genius. Again, AI has seen his artistic talent, and can inspire motivation. I see that often a lot of talented people are not supported in school systems, it can kill passion and motivation and while it's a natural process I believe that AI's automative capabilities can turn this disadvantage into a super power. IT can flourish educations with categorized team work and capabilities. #idea Instead of assigning traditional school projects, why not put kids on real-world applications such as urban planning, creative engineering art projects, ecology research. We put so much emphasis on tracking data than an AI can scout for us that we obsess over checklist systems and A+s instead of what unique capabilities we foster in our graduates and undergraduates. I have seen some really talented engineers work on crazy cutting-edge projects and be under-appreciated, overlooked and even punished for working on really meaningful stuff. I think fundamentals are important yes, but it's essential that we foster an environment that really cares about the students, because under bad leadership/teachers I think that kids can really start to disdain the fundamentals or things they don't have an aptitude for. Robots are very unbiased, unjudgemental, but an AI will always favor you because it was designed to cater to specifically you. Experimenting with different learning processes, and asking for user feedback. Of course, there's a lot of holes in this theory of mine, particularly the "how" would we achieve such things. I have a few combinations of ideas, past experiences, works in mind that shape this future vision, but realistically HCI or human computer interface is going to be extremely important when it comes to cultivating education. We want the proper amount of traditional old school socializing but higher quality in providing education that gives FLOW to each and every individual. #principle

For me, I really got super lucky because I met adults who favored me in a way where they personally took the time to open the door to specialized interest in learning. Whether it was a university professor who agreed to just meet up with me weekly and discuss some of the issues in global energy, or my high school biology teacher teaching me what it truly meant to be a critical thinker and question everything. Teachers are more than just textbooks, they have to teach you a certain philosophy, they teach you how to respect and be kind to others, we should be learning how to be human. Knowledge is garnered through experience, books, your own thinking, and practice. Like I guess tests are pretty good for pressuring you into memorizing a lot of stuff, but it's just not the same as real-life application and repetition and practice. I have learned a lot from cramming stuff into my head for sure, but to be honest I feel like I've lost a lot of knowledge and it kind of hurts me to know that I was so smart but all the information I worked so hard to build up has no real application/usage. Textbooks try to combat this by trying to do word problems, or like put in real-life applications; teachers try to give out lab experiments. #idea AI that works like internet cookies Browsing through the internet has a real power to it in that sense. AI has captured my imagination because of the philosophies of human consciousness, this is actually something one of my best friends and I have talked about in huge detail. He runs an AI company and he's interested in the idea of "to sell is human". So his company helps marketers figure out what to do, what to say, it helps companies SELL. AIs are capable of empathizing with humans, or at least mimicking it, and this is groundbreaking for me. When we incorporate behaviorial economics with design of social systems, I think the quality of our education and life will be exponentially more efficient and beautiful. We draw back to the question of why -- why do we go to such lengths to achieve humanity in our education? It's more the question that if we stick to such rigid systems, what we aren't training is the intuitiveness of humans, which will never be measured nor explained. Have we taught people how to take initiative, to take risks, to have passion and work ethic? #problem We expect kids nowadays to just have a passion/dream at such a young age and they have 0 to no help doing it. WE need other people to grow, we must feel like we BELONG, to a community. #problem We cannot achieve anything in isolation -- it doesn't matter if you isolate yourself in the woods for like 10 years and invent calculus like Newton did, or fall in love with only a pigeon and become an electrical pioneer like Tesla. Well at least that inspirational talk is nice, but logistically speaking the idea would be similar to some books I've read on homeschool education and a few examples of how AI is breaking through technology
