> Plenty of Youtube teachers put out good quality stuff without access to any of that. People would listen to Terrence Tao using a cheap ass webcam and drawing on screen using a Wacom tablet. It's a justification for something that doesn't add value for learning mathematical thinking. To me it sounds more like he gets paid a passive income and a lump sum to make infotainment.
That's possible. It's also possible that Terrance Tao is correct in his judgement that using Masterclass was worth it for him. Personally I'd give him the benefit of the doubt that he's not lying.
- cinntaile 5y agoI didn't say he was lying, I just think the value add of a crew of this size is overrated.
- CogitoCogito 5y agoWell he knows what he's capable of and knows what the crew is capable of. I think it makes more sense to assume he know what he's talking about rather than not. I mean he might literally never have done this without Masterclass at all.
- cinntaile 5y agoI never said anything about not knowing what he's talking about either. It's a bit hard to have a discussion like this.
