I agree, and there are only maybe half a dozen people in the whole world whose tidbits of wisdom are so good, and so well delivered, and so inspiring, that I don't mind them having this vagueness. Alan Kay is one of them.
If everyone was like this (and I agree, a lot of TED speakers are), I'd go crazy.
- justaaron 8y agovagueness? he's simply discussing comparative pedagogical models and techniques! jumping around a bit = we've been culturally ok with that since mtv circa 1993 or the beatnik authors of the late 50's or virtually any film or literature that jumps around in the narrative timeline.
- justaaron 8y ago... I'll grant you, the Bret-Victor-esque "scratch demo" stuff was a bit of a non-sequitur. Once he got back to the limits of human cognition stuff and the "t-ball for human sciences" part, I felt we were on track for a proper lesson from an elder.
