5:58 Bill wasn't talking about JIC, JIT per se... He was saying that when you're learning something, it's beneficial to first create a framework for that knowledge instead of just trying to cram in random facts in your brain without having nothing to associate them with. When you have a framework, e.g. the history of science, it's much easier to learn new things that associate to that framework. They're not just random facts anymore. Elon Musk has spoken about this as well. He said that you need to learn basics well so that you can add up to that knowledge and likened it to a tree. Saying that you need to grow a trunk and branches first so you have something to hold leaves.
I do the following that Gates does: 1. Take down notes in the margin. (I do something more: I make cross-references to other works that I have read or studied. I even do my index to the book.) 2. I am a paper-book person. 3. I read all kinds of books well beyond my needs and requirements. (I prefer to read books about things that are outside my province). 4. I make it a point to read all my books cover to cover. (I shall, therefore, choose books that I would definitely want to read).
Interviewer: What books do you read? Bill Gates: Yes.
Most people say reading is stressful and boring But when you read it's actually fun The story turns into a movie
Man you are incredible. I can guarantee you’re going to be huge. Can’t wait for you to reach 1M. You deserve it. Keep it up!
Hey, the list of Bill gates’ recommended books is down
One of the YT videos from where i pick more information, many interesting things: the differences btw the jic and the jit method, the importance on linked the reading with the current questions in your life, the importance of elaborate what you read maybe with a essay or a production to integrate the new knowledge bubble, and the final division in themes that you know or dont know, which is a powerful tool to select what kid of adventure you wanna face with the next lecture. Thrank you from Arg!
I think you misunderstood what Gates told about history of science. It’s more about how science develops through essays/errors, intuition, how it’s open more questions than answers and the journey which is easier to integrate than a only logical connection. Time travel gives an additional dimension. It’s not about efficiency.
I love that this guy gives an outline before jumping in. And he talks about things you can actually lookup. So different from many youtube videos which are stretched out with very little content or talking points and lots of "I think" and "I feel."
Link is not working for Gates Booklist.
I subscribed when you mentioned the bible because for anyone to consider it means they are humble enough to think “maybe i can learn something from this old book”
Interesting observation on the idea that books teach you things you dont know that you didnt knew. Reading good books, really opens up a new perspective to things - and gives you an oppurtunity to apply it and grow as a person.
Bill Gates wasn't talking about JIT or JIC. He was talking about what is widely known as syntopical reading. The more you read on any given topic, the more you understand about that topic and hence every incremental piece of knowledge that you now come across (by way of reading) becomes much easier to understand/absorb/work with.
Step 1 after watching this Liked the video Step 2 : placed order for Relentless on Amazon Step 3: checked the reading list of Bill gates Step 4 : scrolled through comments and now posting mine
I'm 46. You're about 18. However, you are like my favourite uncle with all your wisdom and advice. Thumbs up :)
With JIT and JIC methodology, I’m unsure how you came to the conclusion that this was what Bill was trying to say. I was thinking he was telling us to read books about the origins of the subject you need to learn about (hence why he said to read about how about the scientists before you learn about the theory they came up with) and then grow your knowledge from there.
Kobe did write a book called "The Mamba Mentality"
Notes of this video, Take notes elaborate info with current understanding, integrate the case, apply, Bill use paper, waiting to make the switch. Know the history, the base how do they come up to the idea and knowledge, where they are confused, how they solve and pursue the knowledge, what question they ask? Just in time, find book that helps you right now, and what you need right now. Findwhat problem, find who has solve, read what they read, or their recommended. just in case helps provide something you dont not know that you dont know. (something outside of your comprehension)
