Memory & Learning Breakthrough: It Turns Out That The Ancients Were Right by Michael Simmons (17min)
While we teach, we learn. Teaching (sharing knowledge) is one of the noblest things we can do with our short time on this planet. It's a way to achieve immortality. The noblest attitude will reside in other people's minds, and then it'll be passed on to other people.

Why Tacit Knowledge is More Important Than Deliberate Practice by Cedric Chin (14min)
Tacit knowledge is the knowledge that cannot be captured through words alone. Tacit knowledge instruction happens through things like imitation, emulation, and apprenticeship. You learn by copying what the master does, blindly, until you internalise the principles behind the actions. We should act as if tacit knowledge were a fact, because it is more useful to think about ways to gain that tacit knowledge directly, instead of hoping for some breakthrough to make tacit knowledge explicit.
