Wisdom for Smart Teens—my talk at SPARC 2014

[Liron]

I recently had the privilege of a 1-hour speaking slot at SPARC, a yearly two-week camp for top high school math students.

Here’s the video: Wisdom for Smart Teens

Instead of picking a single topic, I indulged in a bunch of mini-topics that I feel passionate about:

1. Original Sight

2. “Emperor has no clothes” moments

3. Epistemology is cool

4. Think quantitatively

5. Be specific /​ use examples

6. Organizations are inefficient

7. How I use Bayesianism

8. Be empathizable

9. Communication

10. Simplify

11. Startups

12. What you want

I think the LW crowd will get a kick out of it.
