Knowing is the enemy of learning: Tom Chi at TEDxSemesteratSea 

12:07 - “What’s way more important than knowing how something is going to work is knowing *that* it works.” This is absolute gold. Immediate fan of Tom Chi.

Tom Chi - please make your own youtube or podcast , world needs you . thanks for sharing!

I can't get enough of Tom Chi. He has such an impressive way of explaining the concepts hes chosen, and those concepts are precisely the kind of things I'm interested in. Simply awesome

He is so intelligent and the information is presented in such an easy to understand way. This is the one of the best videos I've ran into.

I like people like him who are able to connect and summarize those things together

Very sharp! You're presenting our world in a clear light and inviting your audience to explore it in the most conscious way. You've identified a path to develop relationships, awareness and improve the conception of ideas in a humbling but engaging way. Thank you!

Great modern interpretation and application of something ancient, yet perhaps crucial for evolution. It's wonderful that he through his own individuation process came to this. From a linguistics perspective, he is denominalizing the nouns, to get access to the processes and relationships inherent within the abstraction. Many indigenous languages operated at this level. Symbols operate at this level as well. And, at the core of what he's speaking of, at another level , is the application of the the Theory of General Semantics - "The map is not the territory, the word is not the thing it describes. Whenever the map is confused with the territory, a 'semantic disturbance' is set up in the organism. The disturbance continues until the limitation of the map is recognized" - A Korzybski . At another, is applying inquiry, or running a socratic dialogue self to self. Better questions lead to better thinking. Bucky Fuller pulled from GS thinking when he stated, 'I seem to be a verb'.

Tom Chi is a great teacher . Thank you .

Thank you so much for this, your wisdom helps me so much see my life with a different perspective from now on

Very useful information. Knowing is the enemy but learning is good.Also think beyond Noun . Finally the reality medium. Thanks Mr. Tom Chi.

Knowing is the enemy of learning!

Funny when he showed the fork I ironically I began thinking about all the other aspects of the fork that he mentioned later on and for a glance I totally forgot to say it's a fork just until after he said "fork" 😂 I guess I'm much more weird than what I thought I might be!😂😂😂 Thank you for letting me find that out about myself!💕

Great talk. We ourselves are verbs not nouns. "Present participles", like being, doing, thinking, whatevering.

YAY THANK YOU TOM CHI

Just Bravo.

Why isn’t this video more popular.. it’s 6 years old.

Excellent work!

That was brilliant!

This man is a genius.

WOWWWWWWW!

Good stuff!

A masterpiece :)

Very fine human being

interesting how the youtube algorithm works, this video is recommended to me AFTER I have uploaded mine called "3 killers of effective Chinese language learning & how to defeat them | Victory via Chinestory", i guess it does semantic matching, even though different domains

Life changing stuff here!

isms = ideologies. ideologies cloud the lens. ideologues identify with what they know. free thinking is synonymous with intelligence. a narcissist, or someone in a state of fear, won't take the time to look at people for who they really are; it's really about looking beyond stereotypes.

Subtitles, please!

Niceeeee

Knowing is the enemy of learning? No. The failure to evaluate/re-evaluate is the enemy of learning/knowledge, life, and most anything else you can think of.

Why this enriching, informative video got so low view

I'm sorry, man. This is pretty limited. Racism etc, comes from disempowered frameworks. All these compromises come from being blinkered in how we value identity. It has no price. Empowered mindsets has no price, is always connected, always pursues flow. This is fully peaceful, collaborative, supportive, leveraging education and empowerment. It's always about qualities. This is abundant. Money is scarce. Obviously. An example of what you are saying is yin/yang. It is the direction the balance goes, not the symbol itself.

I don't agree. It's over thinking since our mind is just tired of thinking & it just rest with situation.

Shallow stuff to me...I guess some people think of this stuff as "eye-opening" but it is all common sense, isn't it?

Just Bravo.
