- danboarder 14y agoI have followed this kid (Jacob Barnett) in the news for a few years now. Here is a talk he recently did for TEDxTeen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uq-FOOQ1TpE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uq-FOOQ1TpE . He has a lot of energy and is a pretty good presenter. One of his points is to "stop learning and start thinking [and developing your own theories]". Here is another short clip of him working out problems on a whiteboard, helping undergrads at a local university http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zpTmSf3NYs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zpTmSf3NYs . And here is his website http://jacobbarnett.org/about-jacob-jake-barnett/ http://jacobbarnett.org/about-jacob-jake-barnett/
