I’ve noticed that a lot of the world’s greatest geniuses had minds that weren’t necessarily aligned for proper schooling. They flourished in an environment where they weren’t constantly scrutinized for not doing unnecessary things.

@4thesakeofitname 3 жыл бұрын

That's right. Becomming a "genius" (creative!) is not a deterministic process. Otherwise we could forcibly educate everybody to become a genius. What at best you can do is to provide an *environment* that supports their self-evolution, yet mostly the environment will be their enemy. So the classic schoolwork, unfortunately, is flowing against most genious minds. On the other hand, being tidy and careful is a must have skill for any one to have a sucessful, dependable career... So...... ?

no I disagree. I think he had potential that wasn't fully realized until he reached his sixth form years. Without the strict discipline and rigid curriculum of his boarding school I doubt he would have made it to Cambridge and gone on to be great. He would have ended up as another failed kid with potential of which there are many in the world.

@VincentGroenewold 3 жыл бұрын

@@runneypo Well we don't know, unfortunately I do know that a lot of very bright kids fail primary school overhere because they can't form themselves into sitting still and doing the exact things the teacher wants them to do. Seems simple, but some of these kids get real trauma's before dropping out. It's pretty sad as a lot of these could've become very interesting people, just like Turing or whoever. They are such a minority though that there is no school or will to take care of these kids. You're mentioning "failed kids" this is exactly why, you're seeing the symptom, the result of that strict system.

This makes sense because the key moment in his life was the death of a childhood friend when Alan was 18. Often described as his “first love,” from the moment Christopher Morcom died the young Turing placed a picture of him on his desk at Cambridge, as an inspiration for diligent labour. In effect he felt that his dead friend was the “true genius,” and Turing henceforth had a responsibility to live out the promise of two lives, rather than just his own.

Many people find it difficult to emphasise with another's viewpoint. For a current example, just look at the divisions among ordinary people along political lines in the USA nowadays, or the divisions among ordinary people anywhere in the western world on the subject of climate change. One thing has become abundantly clear since the rise of the Internet - people need to be careful of what they say and do nowadays, because the world is becoming a global village, and that has consequences. In earlier times, if someone caused problems in their village then everyone knew about them and looked down on them. Nowadays, the same is happening in the global village - and people are being judged by what they did 50 years ago. In 10 or 20 years time, people will be judged by what they say on-line today.

If you read his paper "On Computable Numbers" he had habit of introducing mistakes in the Turing Machines. And indeed some of the wiring designs for the early computers he built in the lat 40's were notoriously messy. He was I suspect a person who was not organised or neat in a conventional way, and he may have improved but you suspect it never really came naturally to him. Ultimately he made up for it with the ability to creatively solve problems in a way that eluded his contemporaries. And also, by the time he got to Cambridge he was surrounded by men of his measure and ability and not the kind of pettifogging mediocrities that normally teach at secondary school level.

How can his ideas not be vague if they were way ahead of his time

What can we expect more from middle school teachers. Of course they will misjudge a genius when they are equipped with mediocrity.

Ideas begin as vague. They don't appear in final form.

@@anhtran6113 That's my problem with the lower educational system. I always had the feeling that I was being taught stuff by teachers who hardly understood the things they were teaching, and if you asked subject-related questions, that weren't directly related to what's in the text books they used, they couldn't answer you. It's a tough problem to fix though. People that are great in their field either work in it or go into research, what's left are the people that aren't good enough to work in the field so they go teach the basic stuff to kids instead.

Alan Turin did the Maths that broke the codes but it was a telephone engineer Tommy Flowers that designed and built the machine.

@Overclocked3770K 3 жыл бұрын

absolutely credit to Flowers, though I believe he engineered Colossus which was for Tunny traffic / the Lorentz Cipher. Turing, Welchman and Keen among others, including the Polish, were responsible for the Bombe design and engineering , which was for solving Enigma

One thing to note is that the apple from which he supposedly died from was never tested for cyanide. Some who knew Turing have said that he would sometimes eat apples before going to bed, one other thing to consider is that he also a machine in his home used to electroplated gold onto spoons that used cyanide, which could have leaked. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was his favorite fairy tale though, so it is possible that he tried to recreate the scenes from it to commit suicide. Good video nonetheless :)

I hate history but I can’t help but get curious about famous scientists who changed the world by their ideas and inventions. Toby’s videos have been really helpful about my knowledge hunger for these kinds of topics. Also I really like her comments going along with the life of the person she is talking about, it makes the topic a lot more interesting in my opinion(maybe because she has a therapeutical voice? I don’t know to be honest😁)

All teachers should see this. I am a retired teacher, and I know that there are pupils who slipped through my fingers - I did not spot their talents, and concentrated too much on behaviour, discipline, tidiness etc, despite being very untidy myself.
