The things we know we dont know: An Introduction to Lygometry | Amin Toufani | TEDxSanFrancisco 

A Chinese Proverb: "He who asks a question feels foolish for 5 minutes; he who never asks remains foolish for a lifetime".

Amin Toufani.. has a masters degree in AI, Business and Economics degrees from Harvard and Stanford, plays guitar, looks presentable and now he is conducting Ted talks. And all I am doing is eating nachos and surfing youtube! :-|

The man weaves quantum physics into guitar chords,no wonder he is a product of harvard. A physics visionary, a charismatic musician and aesthetics that leave everyone speachless. A perfect role model for the learned.

"The easiest way to think outside the box is to not know where the box is."

who misses the combing of hair?

5 mins ago.. Was trying to play his song.. Acknowledging the fact that there's a lot of things that I still need to learn

Am I the only one looking for that flame to pop again 😂😂 👀 !!

so the thing that hits me every exam is lygometry.

A few years ago I saw your video "The best guitar player". That was huge! Now after growing in age, I came across your talk. This too is huge and now everything makes sense too. Lygometry is something to apply to our lives.

He still got it! Wise words on the adaptive learning and leadership. Fascinating stuff, just like his musical "Gratitude".

His parents -- aaj kuch toufani kartey hai This man is awesome

This is so true! Why should we settle with what we know when there is still so much to be discovered??? Knowledge is POWER Stay hungry people ✌

There's something about this dude that makes me believe he's gonna do wonders

I can not beliave what i just heard, you are absolutely right. Last few years i was trying to solve more less the same thing but i did not have name for it but now i have. We must extend this idea to the all world.

I am a student and I tried to study through a lygometric process and it was VERYYYY helpful if you read this comment Mr toufani I just want to say thanks 😃

I must have been incredibly lucky in my schooling, because all the way through - from 4 years old in primary school to 40 years old when I did my MSc, there was always a teacher or lecturer who told me "we don't know why or how". It always presented a challenge. I may be over 60 now, but I still try to look at things I don't know and try to figure them out. I'd love to sit down with Amin and chat . . . Between us, there must be so much we don't know.

When ever I am sad I used to play his college time performance and I feel happiness and energy in me .happy to hear you again 👍🏽

13:59 the dude in the back was feeling it XD

Big fan of yours Amin Toofani Sir. Have heard your gratitude so many times and searched for your other videos of guitar playing but didn't get and then came upon this Ted Talk of yours. Really love you. Lots of love from India. ❤❤❤

Amazing speech and performance!! Amin was constantly sweating through out the session and audience was less responsive dnt know why. he deserved more applauds while on stage..

The most important type of knowledge is lack of knowledge. Lygometry ... I liked the term (Y) nice talk

Amin Sir !! Words fall short to express my love for you ! Lots of love from an Indian ! ❤️May be I never get a chance to say it to you in person in this lifetime ...Hope so you notice this heartfelt message of mine ! I love you !

Did my physics teacher say that gravity is a big open question? Yes, he was an absolutely amazing high school teacher and we were lucky to have him.

Amin Toufani is quite amazing, but I have some issues with this TED talk. If the edge of the circle of knowledge represents known unknowns, then as we gain knowledge, both the circle and the edge of the circle expand. Thus, the more you know, the more questions you have -- the more known unknowns there are. Using Amin's excellent guitar playing as an example, none of the techniques he says he learned on his own are new. (I would also point out that, although he only had seven formal lessons, he admittedly learned a lot by listening and learning from others.) The risk of being self-taught is always that you'll likely just re-invent the wheel. I think when you have degrees from three major universities, you are in a good position to focus on the great unknowns of humanity. Perhaps his target audience are his intellectual peers, but I think most people would be well served by focusing on the basics. One more thing: it seems that every time I think I've got an original and ground-breaking thought, I discover that someone else has already written a book about it.

yes !!! hes alive !!

this guy's a genius!! \m/ wish i could meet him someday..

I just watched this guy literally play guitar with fire, and now I'm learning lygometry That went from 100 to 101 realquick

I'm really glad he managed to articulate this thought I hadn't put into words

It is incredible how this is related not only to methodology and behaviour but directly to neuroscience, excellent lecture.

That was a great ted talk. Getting to know the things you dont know, thats a really good way to tap into creativity.

My quest for knowledge leads me to listen to great people like you. I love your guitar piece and now your concept called Lygometry

12:14 Snape? Is that you?

i'm really impressed by this lygometry thing :)

I worked out my master thesis topic and research with the help of Lygometry and got admiration from my supervisors for the topic idea and contributed work, while studying in Germany.

i googled and yes, he is as "world's best guitar player". He's got good understanding of SEO.

Wow....I thought he only knew guitar...but thank you Amin...great knowledge!!

Teaching physics I tell my students that there is plenty we don't know. Dark matter, dark energy, quantum gravity, etc.

Very impressive person! Mr. Toofani thank you for this speech and showing the world, that we have more in us, than most of us belive. But this is the message. Know one thing.. Beliving is the outside of knowing. Learn every day and help making the world better. Mr. Toofani, you should be the president of USA, after D.T..

He couldn’t recreate the iconic moment even himself here , but he is very talented

Started with the talent show, & admiring his knowledge around a guitar. Now lygometry has me questioning life.

Lygometry ...fascinating concept...Amin..all the best

Ain't this the guy who made a drum outta his guitar??? 12:20 Nevermind.

Such an immense pleasure to hear from you Sir 🌻

I am blown out of proportion after this talk

This guy is making me question my whole existence

7 hours of practice and he made gratitude !!!!

Oh yeee ...He is really intelligent and ...... directors know what a great person they have in organization . We hear a lot of interesting and positiv reports about Mr. Amin Toufani in the future and what he did for the all people in the world .

Thank you Amin for your insight about the Unknown

"The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing" - Socrates

great talk concluded with an even better guitar piece... Brilliant Stuff!!!

i loved this ted talk more and more by every minute

I knew him as a great guitarist. But with this video I've got to Know how multi talented he is. BTW great speech on lygometry sir.

Your performance was indeed the best guitar performance ever. But the idea that most of it has been explored by you is amazing. . now it makes sense. .lygometry. Interesting 👍

14:40 smile of perfection

Correct...I agree....well said ...lygometry....is to find self through another unknown away that pleases u.....I like the way u play....I am aged one.....but u taught me to keep searching what I like.....wah kya bat hai.....God bless u

Oh god the harvard guy!

See his video, playing guitar before few years that is the masterpiece still.

This guy plays the guitar soooooo good! 👌

Aaj kuch toufani karte hai

i was a crazy fan of before only for gratetute...... nw i made a new dept to be his fan LYGOMATRI BEST OF LUCK MR. AMIN TUFANI

Amin... Is thr a way to connect.. U r source of motivation for me

Loved this! Thanks! And funnily enough your guitar video led me to this. 😇

This video should be viral.

genius ..brilliant talk and play!

music start at 11:55

*Absolutely🙏🏻 Toufani✨*

few years ago I saw his video "The best guitar player" after long time have seen him again....!!

awesm speech!! i been honered to listn this master piece!!!

The best way to think outside the box is to not know where the box is....it takes time to comprehend this guy, but once you do, it makes perfect sense.

One of the Greatest talk.....

That smile when people hoot is so amazingly awesomeness

He is 1 of 85 million Iranians. We are so proud of you...

This makes so much sense. That is EXACTLY what should be taught. This is all we know about X, this is all we DON'T know about X. being taught the don't know's is exactly what would spurn imagination and make the students want to explore and learn more. This would have vastly helped me with interest in school.

I'm in search of him.

''I know one thing, that I don't now anything'' Socrates (469 - 399bC). That was Socrates' method (maieutics) based on asking and answering questions to stimulate critical thinking. He helped his fellow speeker understand the things he already knew but didn't know he knew. I believe the exceptional thinker Mr. Toufani is saying in this video.

shit! i had watched his video of the world's best guitarist and i couldnt recognize him! lmao

He really did something toufani in his life

watched just for his performance in end.

Nice. He is an inspiration

9:45 a nice of form of ego spying..... Amin Toufani is really toofani..... really the concept of lygometry intrigued me

after a long time...a really good Ted Talk

I came for the music, thought he might have added something more to his piece - gratitude ....

This was really very insightful.

Awesome amin! great topic you told us about it really was interesting and i´m even more impressed by your mother for her F5 key skills! :D

The most underrated TED

Thank you Amin. Mind blowing. Thank you Ted talk. Afarin Amin Jan

Kept me thinking for days...

Python course bought me here.

Simply unbelievable man

Love him every time

Such a great insight into lygometry !

what a remarkable talk.. 😀

Man! He talked about ai 7 years ago. Now, you see how it works these days like he talked about.

Yes. My physics professor did mention that gravity itself is a question yet to be solved and that it is not compatible with quantum mechanics

I will forget that box definitely

So Amazing,,, Amin!!❣️

Fantastic lecture.

Just brilliant!
