The things we know we dont know: An Introduction to Lygometry | Amin Toufani | TEDxSanFrancisco
Amin is the creator of the concept of Lygometry - a methodology he is using to build the World's first hedge fund for the poor and the first reverse encyclopedia, Reversopedia, which is a collection of things we know we don't know. His talk at TEDxSF is about the role of Lygometry at the present juncture in human history.
Amin is the Vice President of Strategic Relations at the NASA-based Singularity University where he also teaches Lygometry as a tool for adaptive leadership.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

The man weaves quantum physics into guitar chords,no wonder he is a product of harvard. A physics visionary, a charismatic musician and aesthetics that leave everyone speachless. A perfect role model for the learned.

Well said. I too felt that he has reinvented the wheel when there are loads of literature nd applications of it. Lygometry as claimed by him is something similar to metacognition which is used in the field of education. Knowing yourself has been defined and redefined. Efforts are spent on redefining and creating curiosity rather than actual conceptualisation of ideas. Concept building and incubation of new ideas have become rare. Much time is spent on repackaging. Correct me if i am wrong

I'm really glad he managed to articulate this thought I hadn't put into words
people just know the importance of what he is talking about lygometry!!!! best video i have seen !!
I must have been incredibly lucky in my schooling, because all the way through - from 4 years old in primary school to 40 years old when I did my MSc, there was always a teacher or lecturer who told me "we don't know why or how". It always presented a challenge. I may be over 60 now, but I still try to look at things I don't know and try to figure them out. I'd love to sit down with Amin and chat . . . Between us, there must be so much we don't know.
I am a student and I tried to study through a lygometric process and it was VERYYYY helpful if you read this comment Mr toufani I just want to say thanks 😃

Could you elaborate how, please?
Amin Toufani is quite amazing, but I have some issues with this TED talk. If the edge of the circle of knowledge represents known unknowns, then as we gain knowledge, both the circle and the edge of the circle expand. Thus, the more you know, the more questions you have -- the more known unknowns there are. Using Amin's excellent guitar playing as an example, none of the techniques he says he learned on his own are new. (I would also point out that, although he only had seven formal lessons, he admittedly learned a lot by listening and learning from others.) The risk of being self-taught is always that you'll likely just re-invent the wheel. I think when you have degrees from three major universities, you are in a good position to focus on the great unknowns of humanity. Perhaps his target audience are his intellectual peers, but I think most people would be well served by focusing on the basics. One more thing: it seems that every time I think I've got an original and ground-breaking thought, I discover that someone else has already written a book about it.

I think you're thinkink about it wrong. Outside of a circle represents things that we dont know and never will (they are unanwserable questions). And inside represents things that we do or will yet know and are anwserable So the line represents things that we know we dont know.

Who can tell me keeping his hand on his heart that I know this thing from every nook and corner . There are a few . We only linger over the boundary but avoid to plunge too deep into an information. Fear that we might not come back from the vortex . There are two types of peoples 1. Who knows about a single information top to bottom . 2. Who knows about many information but not perfectly . The problem of 1 is that they cannot embrace new ideologies and theories , the problem of number 2 is their knowledge is hollow . For achieving ideal education and knowledge we have to find that middle sweet spot . Sorry for my bad English

Very impressive person! Mr. Toofani thank you for this speech and showing the world, that we have more in us, than most of us belive. But this is the message. Know one thing.. Beliving is the outside of knowing. Learn every day and help making the world better. Mr. Toofani, you should be the president of USA, after D.T..
I am blown out of proportion after this talk
Did my physics teacher say that gravity is a big open question? Yes, he was an absolutely amazing high school teacher and we were lucky to have him.
Such an immense pleasure to hear from you Sir 🌻
i'm really impressed by this lygometry thing :)
Lygometry ...fascinating concept...Amin..all the best
Wow....I thought he only knew guitar...but thank you Amin...great knowledge!!
Oh yeee ...He is really intelligent and ...... directors know what a great person they have in organization . We hear a lot of interesting and positiv reports about Mr. Amin Toufani in the future and what he did for the all people in the world .
I worked out my master thesis topic and research with the help of Lygometry and got admiration from my supervisors for the topic idea and contributed work, while studying in Germany.
The most important type of knowledge is lack of knowledge. Lygometry ... I liked the term (Y) nice talk

You are totally right man, the Earth is flat. I mean we have never managed to circumnavigate the planet or whatever they call it, nor have we ever seen it from far away. And are we really supposed to believe that Antarctica is just a continent? I mean c'mon! Obviously it is actually a massive ice wall that keeps the oceans from spilling out over the edge. And don't even get me started on how bubbles are really just flat too.

See his video, playing guitar before few years that is the masterpiece still.
I knew him as a great guitarist. But with this video I've got to Know how multi talented he is. BTW great speech on lygometry sir.
It’s amazing to know about it
''I know one thing, that I don't now anything'' Socrates (469 - 399bC). That was Socrates' method (maieutics) based on asking and answering questions to stimulate critical thinking. He helped his fellow speeker understand the things he already knew but didn't know he knew. I believe the exceptional thinker Mr. Toufani is saying in this video.
The best way to think outside the box is to not know where the box is....it takes time to comprehend this guy, but once you do, it makes perfect sense.
I came for the music, thought he might have added something more to his piece - gratitude ....
