Questions to think about
On thinking
-
What is critical thinking?
-
What is logic? How do humans do it and can machines replicate it?
-
What is the nature of logical thought? Biological basis? How do brains verify logical correctness, even though brains are one of the only sources of validating logic?
On computing
- What is the best and cleanest way to find out the network/HTTP operations being carried out when we perform a task on the browser? For example: uploading a file.
On learning and expertise
- Is gaining expertise a matter of identity and self-belief?
“I am the kind of person who finishes things and learns them really deep” vs “I am a person who kinda sorta learns about things and never follows throught”.
Possibly these beliefs trickle down into actions and form a virtuous/vicious cycle.
“I am a person that values rigor and goes into the trenches no matter how hard it gets” vs “I am a person who only looks and does things at a surface level”
