WDS 2019 Main Stage Keynote - Scott Young on the Best Way to Learn Anything

“How would you do things, if doing them well were all that mattered?”
Scott Young encouraged the WDS 2019 audience not to equate learning with school. Instead, he shared the concept of Ultralearning - a self-directed and aggressive strategy for learning. He challenged the community to not focus on the things we are trying to learn or achieve, but to consider the method and motivation needed for achievement.

    This video needs more views. Just finished his book and wanted a bullet point summary from the man himself... and I found it here. Terrific information. His book is chalk full of strategies and tidbits to pursue your own ultralearning endeavors.

    To be happy you must have taken the measure of your powers, tasted the fruits of your passion, and learned your place in the world -----George Santayana. Or Happiness is the expansion of possibility.

    Because need depends on the person's capabilities. There is no happiness when you strive for it. The only thing that we want is contentment.

    21:05 To that, I can relate. When I first moved to the U.S. and began to learn English, I recall how it would threw me off when someone brought up my accent. Even though they meant no harm and I wasn't embarrassed of my accent, I simply didn't need their feedback.

    I'm curious the practicality of what you're suggesting for most other people. Do you think most others can cram 50+ hours of learning into a week? Can some people do it? Sure. Obviously you did it. You got a lot of attention because you simply proved how smart/focused you are, not because you came up with a revolutionary new learning system that has a practical application for the masses. I'm sorry, it's just not practical. A lot of the workforce are in their 30's with a family and a full time job, and it's not feasible to suggest dropping their other responsibilities and cram a 4 year degree in 12 months. 50 hours per week / 7 days = ~7 hours per day on average. Throw in a full time job and kids, there's no way. At least, not any real "good" learning. Again, obviously some people could, with enough free time and supporting income, sure. But for the average working american with kids and a full time job, it's not feasible or even healthy to suggest this kind of learning program. Your program sounds more elite or selective. Like only young people with no kids, and with resources (money) to live off of while learning around the clock. It's inspiring, yes, but I don't think it's practical for the working class, average American adult. I do think it is worth mentioning that, yes, some self learning is great. You have websites like Udemy with high quality, instructor based learning and you can learn at your own pace, for much cheaper than university. This may help supplement your learning post-degree. But the bottom line here for me was, learn by doing. I just don't think your program is practical for everyone. It is inspiring, however. What I really *do* think should happen, is Universities ought to offer this self-taught route as a cheaper alternative, now that the internet has grown and allows for cheaper storage of videos. Because the cost is still a hurdle for many people. But many employers still want to see that degree. I have seen too many times, you have two nearly identical resumes, they both have the same skills and experience, but one has a degree - who are you going to hire? You still want that degree, it's still a necessity for many employers, but Universities offering a self-taught option for folks on a budget would be ideal. You still get the degree but at a fraction of the cost. Again, bottom line for me here was, just work your ass off, practice daily the thing you want to learn, fully immerse yourself, etc. I don't think the MIT challenge is for everyone, or even most people. I don't think that should be any new standard of learning. There's a lot of working class adults with families that wouldn't be able to do this. I do think Universities need to offer a budget friendly, self-taught option. Just my opinion. Overall great inspirational speech.

    These talks have become so similar to each other that once you’ve heard one, you’ve heard them all. Nothing here is being said that 99% of adults don’t know already. The way these speakers talk, you’d think that something important and amazing is being revealed every other sentence. Is there a name for this speech style? Ted talk speech?
