Unlocking Your Intuition: How to Solve Hard Problems Easily 

the subconscious is the creator of your own reality👍

Meat riding here is crazy

Cognition would better be CPU, and sight and movement can be keyboard haha

What does that even mean?

@@greatcesari It's just wordvomit as usual.

ikr

you're overreacting

You just missed the "Help I've ..."

saw it too xD

lol I saw it too!

thx

How do I be passionate??

@@thegodofthenewworld4142 In the video, when speaking about passion, Colin meant that you should be passionate in whatever you want to better your intuition. He was giving an example of him using intuition in his personal vocation - competitive programming. So it's better for you to have a genuine desire to do that in which you want to excel intuitively.

I think you forgot the big one: memory. He basically did so many problems that they are now ingravated in his memory.

@@OneNamelessHero but what if i don't have a passion for anything at all? i'm just existing as some vegetable and don't understand what is wrong with me my whole life, i don't even have a motivation to go eat something and always forgetting about it or just doesn't do anything

proud of you!!

Well done, Turd.

Can you share how you train your intuition to pass both tests with just 10 days preparation??

@@chaudiep8274 Absolutely. The multistate bar exam is a multiple choice exam. There were several companies that offered large books of sample questions with an answer key that explained why each choice was either correct or incorrect. I just woke up each morning and did sample questions for 15 to 18 hours a days. By day four or five, patterns started to emerge and by day ten, I was performing significantly better compared to when I started.

You described exactly what I feel when I'm programming some backend services

@@electricimpulsetoprogramming YES

For me instinct is more primal and usually comes from another category. Like my brain gets intuition into things it’s done before but instinct is much more nebulous, (where the F did the brain came up with the instant thought even though I’ve never done or experienced this thing).

Jesus loves you guys! He died on the cross for our sins! Repent and live for God before it's too late 🙏

@@electricimpulsetoprogramming Do you enjoy backend? Thinking about learning programming for a new career.

Also, just the more well rounded your experience is while you are near maximum neuroplasticity, the better apparently.

@@TheBruceKeller awesome point 😃

@@TheBruceKeller i've heard the term neuroplasticity before, but I never learned what it meant. can you explain it to me or direct me to a video that has valid information about it

@@mistadude It's your brain's ability to change, neuro = brain, plasticity = easily shaped. Huberman's Lab talks about it pretty much every podcast.

I agree a lot with you

There is a reason Kramnik always recommended slow chess because it helps your understanding.

I think I got good at programming when i would write stuff on my TI-84 calculator. I tried so many things on the edge of solvability like you say, driven by pure middle school desire to make my own games. I looked back at some of the TI-BASIC code now and have no idea what any of it is doing. I even learned ASM back then using a chart with all of the different operations and their hex codes.

This is why I hate it when school always forces us to grind through boring masses of complicated problems we have only the faintest inkling of how to solve. I'd much rather just see a bunch of answers first, that way I can intuitively grasp what is needed to reason with the real problems.

When learning a programming language, I like to solve them first using an external resource. Then I read the code and why it makes sense, and then I do a similar problem. It helps so much, and saves a bunch of data into memory.

still i don't get it. how we train our intuition? it's like touching the clouds? metaphysics?

@@yadullahkurt2189 you train your intuition through gathering of knowledge. more specifically, understanding. shallow knowledge where you know the equation but not how it works does not help your intuition.

@@descai10 thanks for reply. Then please tell me what is the difference between the two terms "intuition" and "experience"

GO save Colin !!!!

Haha

that last line is hard asl

Same here mate,same here.. Watched the video until 01:50,but yours is the same scenario as mine,except i don't got much people to hear me out & I gotta search things on my own.. Its hard cause it hasn't yield/paved a way yet -Disciple & regular habitual training/practice- is a must to learn & grow every particular skills (with enough sleep & nourishment) See ya there 😃🌟✨🙌 23.11.2022 04:00 pm ist

so bso what you meant is to see the bigger picture of what you want to learn?

@@salmantorik6091 Yeah.

how do you see the general overview and then you fill with the details?

😮👌

agree with the genetics on speed and confidence part (though it can be independent on genetics aswell) highly doubt the IQ bit though... you can never measure general intelligence.

@@aakarshan4644 you can measure IQ with reaction times alone

@@MrRand0mGamer you've no idea what you're talking about... reaction time and iq are nowhere correlated... spatial verbal and non verbal can be learnt..it all has a lot more to do with childhood upbringing rather than genetics..

@@aakarshan4644 You have no idea what you are talking about. I am not just making things up like you are. Reaction times have been studied along with IQ since Francis Galton in 1899 and many researchers since. Look at the work of Arthur Jensen who has done extensive research on it or look at the early work of Galton and G.M Whipple or most recently Ian Deary. You can't recruit people in the US military with an IQ of 83 and below for good reason. They tried that in the unpopular Vietnam War. Look up MacNamara's morons. These soldiers no matter how many tries lacked the reaction time to hit the targets in the time required in training. Many could not even understand the concept of throwing a grenade at an arc so as to hit a target on the ground. No matter how many times they tried to explain the trajectory of an arc with trying to get them to think of birds flying over head or whatever, could not prevent them from just throwing like a pitcher every time and missing the target. Actually bother to look into it before just saying I am wrong. Stop pretending to be an expert about something you never read any books on.

So true. A lot of people I know thinks I am crazy for writing code my self instead of copy and paste or using library's. When I don't understand how someones code works I will create my own version then compare it to there code. This method works great because it either helps me understand there code or I will find a better method.

Kinda true, it doesn't matter what the topic is, jumping into the deep water will pretty much always be the better option

I felt a bit confused and struggled to understand this video(bsc of My english comprehension) but my intuition tells me it has a lot to learn and apply for my situation. Your comment helps me a lot to get an idea about this video. I'm learning how to analyse data to generate insights for storytelling reports. I read and researched on other's projects and analysis and just knew how to create mine. I guess it's called intuition too, like figure out patterns from examples

Thats so true

Did I point out that intuition is a third processor resident in your spirit - outside of the physical- and accessing knowledge from the spheres outside the physical alongside data in your unconscious and Left brain. Triple processing. Intuition creates instant knowledge in , for me, an almost nonverbal state. One ‘feels it’ and then, if confident enough, can express it.

It helps if your practice is primarily nonverbal so cognition does not block intuition.

Can you explain it with an example, i didn't get it

Very good analogy, the bridge one! I will be thinking about that in the future 🎉

Agreed. As someone with ADHD, breathing exercises or just being more in the present helps me to atleast be able to read a full paragraph without zoning out. Isn't as helpful in hour-long study sessions tho Only medications like Adderall help, but they have their own side effects :(

This might be reason why old people find it difficult to use smartphones as efficiently as younger generation. There is a conflict between the fast and slow processes making it difficult for one process to function optimally

Interesting take, I believe with nurture it's especially important to be properly nurtured at an early age. Psychologicaly speaking there are critical periods of development and these parts of your life really do spell how the rest of your life will go. The word is "influence." They heavily influence how the rest of your life goes but they do not DEFINE it. In other words, it's all still in your control. It's just you have much less of a foothold and like somebody who picks up a hobby at 20, vs somebody who picks it up at 10, the person who picked it up earlier has INHERENT advantages, no matter how you cut it. Even if it weren't much harder to pick the hobby up at 20, the person who picked it up earlier will still have 10 years of experience on you, forever. Life is long though. More often than not, we can learn to do a lot more than we think we can. And if you can't, that doesn't matter, as long as you realize that what truly mattered was that you spent your life learning, and growing. It isnt always about being the smartest sometimes its just about being smarter. About the process, not the end result. There is no point in worrying about what could have been, nothing you can do about that. Just move in one direction your whole life, forward. Or trend forward because progress isn't linear and consists of both growth and setbacks. It's like choosing not to workout as a grown adult because you've been fat ever since you've been a child, and don't have the inherent advantages that someone who was fit and athletic their whole life has had. Theres many reasons I can think of that it would be harder to lose weight at the age of 30 having been fat your whole life. You have more total fat cells and fat cells can only shrink. Meaning you essentially have to shrink each fat cell even further. On top of that fat cells influence hormones in a bad way. That is a big reason fat is so stubborn, it "wants" to stay on your body. You'll have insulin resistance if not diabetes, etc. Have spent your whole life with suppressed hormones, probably have stunted development from it. You'll never be as athletic as the person who grew up an athlete unless you put in thrice the effort. But sometimes, that's just what you have to do. And if not, is that no reason to not become healthier, just because it's harder, and that your total potential is lower because of your past? You truly have everything to gain and nothing to lose

hi, how we practice our intuition? can you give me summary?

@@yadullahkurt2189 practice

@@yadullahkurt2189 Also, besides my previous answer being ironically "practice" (the chicken and egg dilemma), one thing on the video that sounded interesting is sometimes you have to read the solution if you can't put yourself into finding the solution yourself. By reading several solutions you might get more ideas on how things work, so some intuition training might come from there, although it's good to train it by solving problems yourself too. But if you are not motivated with the later, maybe the first one of reading other people's work might help a bit.

> I don't know how it can be instilled in others that lack of it. It's good so far, yet people will be asking "Yeah, but how can I motivate myself?". Answer: by start practicing. "Yeah, but how can I motivate myself to start?", etc.. Here's what people don't realize. Motivation is not an absolute requirement to get things started. Its great to have but even those that have passion for things don't always have it. Once you get started & start to see some results, the motivation comes naturally. There is a lot of truth to 'the first step is always the hardest'.

The concepts in high school are very basic.

May I ask what you do now? I know someone who did that in undergrad math but had to drop out of their masters because it stopped working.

@@ABC-jq7ve I'm not an undergrad in math, I study law. But I don't follow this technique anymore in any area. I try to understand fully what I'm studying.

IQ PREDICTS success at the school system. Not reasoning. That capacity to learn will increase with application.

Nah, apply it, make mistakes

@@martinwilches6583 make mistakes to train intuition?

I can speak both with Programming and Chess: 1. In programming, you want to start with patterns that are easy, let's say Leetcode, you first try to understand the easy ones, if you already faced this in the past your intuition will click. Quicksort, Binary Search, Heap Sort, anything that it's a problem, if you dont know the pattern I would say spend as much as possible trying to understand the solution. 2. In Chess, you can do puzzles that would be the equivalent of problems in programming, you start with the easy ones and go through each of them multiple times, there is actually a book called the Woodpecker Method which start with Easy, Medium then hard puzzles, and you go through them each day, and repeat, the book force you to practice intuition since it pushes to do it in a faster time, also playing long time control Chess helps you because it engrained you Chess patterns and understand positions. Same can be said anything that requires critical thinking, practice makes perfect.

I agree, this or calculus integration problems. The latter takes a ton of intuition at least at the start.

Thats what I thought when I heard him say it but, practically speaking, I can think of many places where people used an obsession of the end goal in order to achieve something. Plus, "obsession with the end goal" can actually be a good thing if it EVOLVES into "fulfillment in the process." Without a doubt intrinsic motivation is FAR stronger than extrinsic. But extrinsic motivation can be the hook that reels you in. My first thought is a lot of gym goers, they start off being terribly insecure, and start going to the gym because they want to look good for other people. 5 years later, they go to the gym everyday because they simply love lifting/running or doing whatever it is they do. They didn't force themselves to love training, but they forced themselves to train, and thus the habit stuck. Things definitely don't always work that way especially if you have a very shitty approach. But extrinsic motivation is just another tool in the toolkit. We usually all start off with extrinsic motivation. As kids we were extrinsically, not intrinsically motivated. Pain is bad, run far away from it. Whatever makes us feel good, keep doing that. Depending on how our lives went, we started to like doing certain things intrinsically. Some people, even late into life start reading because they want to get smarter. This want to get smarter/expand our knowledge can make us realize that we love literature, or love philosophy, etc. Certainly that's how I was. I used to never read books, I don't think i read a book in it's entirety from 7th to 10th grade. It was such a bore to me. English class pretty much conditioned us to hate reading and language. Then I decided one day that I had to read because I wanted to be a smart person. It would give me a lot more opportunities in life, after all. I'd be better than everyone else too, so I thought. Then I developed an appreciation for classic literature. To the point where, I no longer view it as a means to an end. It's more like reading is the end goal itself. If reading classic literature didn't give me any insight and just made me feel pointless contentment, like some magical drug with no negative side effects, I would still do it. I probably wouldn't have started reading though, and would have never gained the appreciation for it. That's why extrinsic motivation can be important.
