I had a lot of fun chatting with Grant Sanderson (who runs the excellent 3Blue1Brown YouTube channel) about:
– Whether advanced math requires AGI
– What careers should mathematically talented students pursue
– Why Grant plans on doing a stint as a high school teacher
– Tips for self teaching
– Does Godel’s incompleteness theorem actually matter
– Why are good explanations so hard to find?
– And much more
