Okay, a clarification. What I meant by "studying for IQ tests" is not that you can increase your inherent intelligence that way - that, by definition, is a contradiction. Of course the score itself will be meaningless. All I wanted to say is that anything seemingly controlled by IQ - even the test that is specifically designed to measure IQ - can be offset with some hard work thrown in. I am claiming that it's good to live in denial, and I think it's reasonable to do so.

I am so impressed with your presentation, your intelligence, your brilliance, your humour. You are an amazing teacher. I am 73 years old and its crazy that I am even listening to this. I have been studying the neural sciences for 12 years and must admit that I have never heard a more brilliant explanation. Just love it.

Ok bro, one thing I have to tell you, is that you are an amazing teacher. I hope you end up becoming a computer science professor or start selling courses or something. Your teaching style is so easy to understand as well as very entertaining. Thanks for these videos mate!

I am loving your recent videos, thank you for all the hardwork Colin!

I already kind of had a vague idea of some of the stuff in the video but the way you explained them with pictures and structure improved my understanding so much!

Dude, please post these kinds of videos more often. You truly have an amazing gift. Continue sharing your thoughts and wisdom.

I'm starting in the dev world and probably this video gonna help me alot, ty man. You're doing a great work for the one who seek this kind of content.

I'm a simple man: new Colin Galen video = I click on the video

Love this series. Please provide one practical example as well like in the field of maths. Thank you.

I love watching videos like this while I’m high, and I am so high right now but so intrigued by your videos! Thank you, kind sir! 😎👍🏼

Dude i just want you to know that your video on intuition was a game changer for me and it might be the only reason I'm able to save my grades. Thank you so much for your hard work!!!💗

- The video discusses how to awaken and enhance the analytical problem-solving mind through scientific understanding of creativity, and not through drug use. - The definition of creative problem solving is the ability to receive a task or problem and produce a creative solution that is new to you and useful in solving or addressing the problem. - There are three main parts of the brain that contribute to creativity: the generator, explorer, and filter. - The generator is an idea factory that generates a bunch of random ideas, both good and bad, that are given to the rest of the brain. - The explorer takes the ideas from the generator and explores them to see if they have any merit in solving the problem or if they can be learned from. - The filter filters out bad ideas from the generator before they reach the explorer. - Both the generator and the filter are mostly automatic, while the explorer is both manual and automatic. - There is a relationship between the conscious and unconscious parts of the brain, and understanding this relationship can make it easier to figure out how to improve creativity. - To improve creativity, one can practice generating ideas, exploring them, and filtering out bad ideas.

filter can be really a sabotage for one's mind. Amazing content as always , THANKS !

Hey Colin ,like usse vids ! Keep posting more abt exercising and improving brain power, learning how to learn, and general smartness.. Very imp topics but no one talks abt it

I literally take notes on your videos

Please continue live with one shots... specially for beginners... prefix sum, dealing with Frequency, two pointers and many useful tools of problem solving... Thanks

Thanks for sharing such valuable content please bring more on such topic like [Critical, creative thinking?, how to learn fast? reataintion of information, how to become smart? etc ]

Colin, thanks for the amazing content. I learned a lot! I wish you made more content on similar topics! Does anyone know more channels that discuss similar topics? Colin has great videos on these, but I watched them all and am still hungry. Or maybe someone could recommend a book or other source to learn?

thinking about thinking is so cool, thank you!

Great video Colin. Can you please make a video of you doing a leetcode contest? I would absolutely love to see that kind of content. The weekly contest is every Saturday at 9:30 pm est

Another great video Colin! These are more important than ever with all of the layoffs sweeping tech right now. One question: how do you balance whether to go deep on an idea or explore a new one? I struggle with this especially when figuring out the optimal solution to a problem, e.g. I'll have a O(nlogn) but I'm not sure whether I should push for the O(n) or if it's even possible.

Loving the brainy approach in most of your videos!

The brain is super flexible. We have to squeeze it while we can❤

I think you should do more of this, Colin. Cause when I look at the problem, my mind is just blank. Like, take 2Sum - if you know the approach, you'll solve it. But if you don't and never done anything similar - get out of here.

Thank you bro, God bless this helped alot

Thank you

hey Colin it would be nice if you make a video on what u find out while researching IQ in the future :)

Greats videos.🎉 taking notes.

Thanks collin! Subscribed !

Again, perfect timing, before the USACO contest.

thank you so much

I love it absolutely !!!

I love your videos and the way you think so much! It would be really cool if you talked with Benjamin Keep. He's a learning researcher.

I think you should do home teaching for youngsters or children to inspired "curiosity" in their brain 👍

Can u please make a video on how to get better at implementation (including debugging, particularly when testcases aren't visible)?

Great content

Really great video!!

Hello colin, curious to what your thoughts about AI taking the jobs of programmers soon? Can you make a video about thos?

Bro do a video classification of dp problems in leetcode according to their patterns like this problem goes into dp with memorization, this goes into matrix chain multiplication, this is decision dp, I don't know any other common patterns but i sure you know There are about 490 problems on leetcode tagged dynamic programming you can do a speedrun of those by just mention related patterns .It' ll be helpful for beginners to practice related pattern go together

Next video idea: debate thinking process, critical thinking?

Every one of your videos is a banger

You remind me of Tom Riddle (hp6), love ur way of thinking and explaining 🙌🏻💪🏽

1:01 OH MY GOD. I saw what you did there, you absolute mad lad.

I tend to remember future experiences, a definite advantage. I think encouraging people to remember past experiences is unnecessarily limiting.

Knowledge this early in morning 😮

amazing video :) i agree

Colin’s out here with the stoicism

Thanks

In short: better past info + more experience + more inspiration -> creative solution problem + iteration + feedback --> relevant ideas more relevant ideas + hit-and-trial -> more correct ideas

nice one

Bro I have been thinking exactly as you are and created a project management language just to manage this problem , lets get in contact ! .

love that

Love your vids

come back colin you are awesome we love you!!!!!!!!!!

You are a pretty good motivational speaker.... so if that competitive programming does not work out, there is something else for you to do. And, thanks for these great videos.

Yo. Great video. Thanks a bunch. Can't wait for the caring video🥵

Mr. Colin Yoda Galen is back!!!!!!!

Can anyone tell me the whole summary of this 22 min video..I would be really thankful

Start a C++ coding series !!! (this video too was great )

Great video. Can you put out a video on how to increase typing speed while programming?

All good...in theory.

I laugh at the joke “and now you feel my pain”. XD

You would be a great college professor

topic stream for binary search ?

did you took inspiration from Nor's blog?

You have the best addiction, I need that addiction.

Although I really like this video, there's still this one question that've been lingering in my mind since I've seen this video: How do you know that the unconscious mind generates garbage ideas when there's no proof that they do (referring to the filtering out of the bad ideas, like it is possible that your unconscious DOES generate great ideas but every now and then messes up)

Short term: write all thoughts down Long term: practice more

Great! Finally some impressive content!!

So is this Nile Red's brother? That does computer programming? How many of them are there?

Bro you should write a book on this.

"Help i've been trapped in this basement for six years" "Yes i reused the joke"

3:57 i think my filter is dumping all the good ideas cause i have none 12:49 short time (restart your pc) -------------------------------------------> long time (restart your pc) these are my 3 jokes, i tried

I just subscribed

My notes: Step 1 - do drugs Step 2 - yes

-Schakels in “omdat” verkorten, naar de uiteindelijke, je doet iets hier omdat je daarme dit wil bereiken en daarmee dat andere etc etc en dat doe je uiteindelijk voor een bepaald doel, maar haal de schakels er tussen weg, en denk en herinner het uiteindelijke doel -Drawing, making it 3d, dont make it too big, verbally saying what you see, look at parts, ad parts gradually, practice taking less and less time Generator part and explorer part, filter between them but you might control it, past info an experience help choses the info that is more elaborate and relevant and more correct When procrastinating, hink of the nice experiences it might give, and bad ones if you Dont. So hoe nice if you do and how bad if you dont. Five types of innovative/Creativity thinking to get the ball rolling: aesthetic thinking, inspirational thinking, divergent thinking, convergent thinking lateral thinking. Divergent and convergent are most common wats to foster that. More stuck, more relax the filter 9:30 -Quote: Bad news for many people: you Can learn and improve

Where are you? Please post more bro

I love you so much

creative problem solving = do creative task, come up with something new, frame that as a problem and exercise creativelly solving creative is an ability to produce something that is bith novel or original and has utility that valuable to someone creative process : use past experience the information that we already know to produce something that we dont know new for experiment how do creative work scientifically = generatir ab idea factory that generate a bunch of random idea, but many of these ideas are garbage and some are maybe good generator => filter => explore = find detail, pick the particular idea and focus in a manual and auto way improve the concious and unconciosiosuly for make better decisions, more usefull details concious = exploring and filtering unconciously = generator more relevant ideas => more correct ideas => more detail ideas types of creativity : 1. insight when something sits in your mind then suddenly something idea pop up unexpetedly ( unconsiouslly generating the ideas without managing the process ) from active thought, past experience or information,newness unciciouss => cocncious management to process that idea into creation concious and uncocious => focus =>problem => solution type of thinking : .1 convergent thinking = combining a bunch of different of information,past problems and new problems and do one solution 2. divergent thinking = taking a single of information and generate as many potential solutions how to create video = come up with various of ideas or a particullar idea unconciuoslly with divergent thinking or convergent thinking with a bit of insight mixed => some ideas are filter out based on which ideas video that perform well and bad performance ideas => explore the ideas through concious explorer awaiting more details with synteshize => focus and bring the ideas into creation creativity => draft video => convergent thinking = research divergent thinking and insight = add ideas how to improve creativity = two types 1. short term creativity = optimization creative process to come up with good ideas for some problem 2. long term creativity = optimize your creative brain as a whole to imrpove your creativity boosting for generator ideas with knowledge relaxing filter to filter out more ideas that are goox unleash creativity = write down every ideas that come up no matter how good or bad the ideas, it shutting up the filter, it is for unleash the crazy ideas that doesnt promising at first the more stuck you are the more you should relax your filter and considering the crazy ideas that doesnt promising at first Inspiration = problem details, small examples, problem variations, past experiencr, random things around you if a lot of ideas that are considering not usefull = mental reset and break for generating new ideas if you can only focus on one task or problem you reduce stress praticing a certain thing let you improve at that thing insight => various oppurtunity to show up by solving hard problems convergent thinking => pattern recognizition, finding common ideas/themes, relating similar problems divergent => general problem solving tips for strong generator : 1. train on one problem until you feel tired 2. diversify of problems ( many problems ) and depth ( not many a loteng of problems ) 3. if not depth = spend longer, if solving to quickly = go another harder problem, igf taking a long time = spend less time for filter : 1. for a single problem filter out by come up with correct idea, alternative ideas, wrong ideas, variety of your ideas

Please make a video about ChatGPT

Forgtiing cp these day

Have your ever tried cannibis bro?

First! Let's gooo

this explains a lot about my relationship. My girlfriend doesn't have that "filter"😳

Weed helps you relax and focus on the present moment, allowing your brain to forget about everything else and focus solely on the task at hand. That's why it helps you come up with many ideas and interesting thoughts. The brain focuses on something and doesn't let it go. It's like getting in the flow but better. That's basically it.

I first saw 5 years, now it says ive been stuck in this basement for 6 yrs. His joking conscious brain is wayy to smart at filtering ideas.

I am only here to acknowledge the pannenkoek reference.

You are the most beautiful man I've ever seen 😭

You were obviously high when recording this video!

I'd disagree drugs really improve creativity performance. I'd have to look into mentioned studies, but it seems really wrong. Every rubbish idea seems mind blowing when you high. Except for that I liked your video again, thanks man.

i've notice you and justin song are pretty similar in beliefs

1:00 the footnote at bottom lol

-- The video stresses the importance of developing analytical problem-solving skills through understanding creativity rather than relying on drugs. -- Creative problem-solving is generating innovative and valuable solutions for tasks or problems. -- The brain's creativity process involves three main parts: the generator, explorer, and filter. *** [The generator] functions as an idea factory, producing good and bad ideas for the rest of the brain to consider. *** [The explorer] evaluates the ideas from the generator to determine their potential value in solving the problem. *** [The filter] screens out unfavorable ideas from the generator before they reach the explorer. -- The generator and filter primarily operate automatically, while the explorer involves manual and automatic processes. -- Understanding the relationship between the brain's conscious and unconscious parts helps enhance creativity. -- To boost creativity, individuals can practice generating ideas, exploring them, and effectively filtering out undesirable ones.

first 2 seconds and something in my pants Awaken , nice hair bro

these videos are not the kind u can just sit and watch, i literally need to take a few pages of notes to get the idea fully
