I have no experience of Minecraft at all, so I have no real idea what's going on in these videos. I've watched a bit, but can't figure out what's going on.
And that's interesting to me for a slightly strange reason.
I give lots of talks about math and computing, and sometimes i can see in my audience a complete disconnect with what I'm talking about. They have no idea why it's cool that there's a square root of -1 modulo 101, but not mod 103, even when I've been talking about the motivation and the reasons.
They have the knowledge, but not the experience. The experience can make all the difference between "getting it" and "not getting it".
It's not enough to read books, blogs and articles. It's not enough to listen to talks and join in conversations. Seomtimes you ahve to do it for yourself, to get your hands dirty, to build an intuition based on direct personal experience, and not just conveyed second- or even third-hand knowledge.
