  A comment on Talk: Conrad Wolfram: Teaching kids real math with computers

  Dec 1 2010: An interesting talk, but i don't completely agree with Conrad.
  We should teach math and use computers to stimulate and illustrate math problem and solutions, BUT, we should not teach computer-math.
  
  By teaching math (and other analytic in nature subjects) we are helping the brain to grow and develop to be able to understand complex math (and other) problems.
  It's like teaching someone how to fish as oppose to giving him fishes every day.
  By not teaching him how to fish, we are telling him: "relax, we'll get you your fish every day, you don't have to do anything"...
  When we show him how to fish, he gets excited and wants to learn more and might even come up with his own ideas.

  A comment on Talk: Laurie Santos: A monkey economy as irrational as ours

  Aug 3 2010: recognize your limitations to use and overcome them - that's a good one :)

• A reply on Talk: Jeff Bezos: What matters more than your talents

  Aug 3 2010: whether or not what Andrei Vorobiev says is true, I don't think it has any relevancy to the fact that Jeff's talk is good and can be seen as motivational. These kind of accusations should be posted elsewhere
