- [00:47:24][^3^][3] - Samah Karaki souligne que le cerveau est un muscle qui apprend et s'adapte, et que croire en la plasticité de notre intelligence peut améliorer notre capacité d'apprentissage.
- [00:47:40][^4^][4] - Elle mentionne une étude démontrant que les élèves qui croient que l'intelligence peut se développer obtiennent de meilleurs résultats scolaires.
- [00:47:45][^5^][5] - Karaki partage son expérience personnelle, affirmant qu'elle a appris à nager et à faire du vélo en écrivant son livre, ce qui illustre la capacité d'apprendre de nouvelles compétences à tout âge.
- [00:48:01][^6^][6] - Elle encourage l'application de cette mentalité dans les écoles pour réduire la pression de la performance et favoriser l'apprentissage.
- [01:18:43][^7^][7] - La conférencière aborde l'influence de la classe socio-économique sur la réussite scolaire, expliquant que les enfants de milieux aisés ont accès à plus de ressources et d'opportunités pour réussir.
Ces points mettent en lumière l'importance de l'état d'esprit dans l'apprentissage et le rôle des facteurs sociaux dans le développement des compétences. Samah Karaki utilise son expertise en neurosciences pour déconstruire le mythe du talent inné et promouvoir une vision plus équitable de l'intelligence et du mérite.

zusamenfassung: potenzielle revolutionsführer werden vom system rekrutiert als controlled opposition.<br /> der "verrat gegen das eigene volk" liegt darin, dass die großen ziele aufgegeben werden (große ziele wie revolution), und dass nur kleine ziele verfolgt werden (kleine ziele wie musik verkaufen oder drogen verkaufen). "einen vertrag mit blut unterschreiben" heisst: diese bindung gilt für das ganze leben, und fehler werden mit dem tod bestraft (fehler wie verrat, ketzerei, whistleblowing). genau das ist auch mein vorwurf an die ganzen sogenannten "gangster": statt ihr naturtalent zu nutzen und eine blutige revolution zu führen gegen das scheiss system, lassen diese leute sich kaufen und korrumpieren, und verschwenden ihr potenzial als "künstler" oder als drogenticker...

sportswriters used to talk about how Larry Bird could look at a newspaper photograph from any game he’d played as a Boston Celtic and recall where everyone else had been on the court at that moment, knowledge that informed his play every time he brought the ball forward.

But Dr Essai has observed time and again how the finest artists are the ones whose idea of fun is spending hour after hour, day after day doing the same thing over and over and over and over. And then some more.
This seems to fit in with Malcolm Gladwell's observation about Paul Simon see: https://hypothes.is/a/Kd7X4lvPEe250Gvn57Pbdg

efficiency has come to mean accomplishing a task with the least possible human intervention—a goal that often turns out to be self-defeating, particularly when efficiency becomes almost an end in itself. Recall Thomas Edison’s famous line that genius is one percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration and contrast it with our contemporary enthusiasm for machine-like efficiency
Interesting connection here between the efficiency mandate and the "talent means no effort required" attitude we see in many school settings.

“In my perfect world, I have a competency profile — you know, on LinkedIn, presumably — that is kept up to date in real time on the competencies that I am exhibiting in my work, as well as competencies that I’ve demonstrated through assessments, through my education, the formal credentials that I’ve accrued,”
It’s a very specific dream, but it sounds like it’s shared by a lot of people.

Businesses are not saying "I want someone who went through a programme that promised them a job".
In the Ivory Tower, we hear less about that part of the relationship between Higher Ed. and businesses. Those colleagues of ours who are so against the 100-year push for universities to become more vocational tend to assume that employers are the ones doing the pushing. While it’s quite possible that some managers wish for universities to produce optimised employees, many people on that side of the equation argue that they’re quite able to train employees, as long as they’re able to learn. Now, there’s a whole thing about the “talent pipeline” which might get faculty in a tizzy. But it’s not about moulding learners into employees. Like much of Higher Ed., it’s about identifying (and labeling) people who conform to a certain set of standards. Not less problematic, perhaps, but not so much of a distinction between academia and employability.

Intellectual property is far more egalitarian. Of limited duration and obtainable by anyone, intellectual property can be seen as a reward, an empowering instrument, for the talented upstarts Burke sought to restrain. Intellectual property is often the propertization of what we call "talent." It tends to shift the balance toward the talented newcomers whom Burke mistrusted
intellectual property is often the propertization of what we call talent.

Despite her work ethic, her track record, and the fact that we all really liked her, her skills were no longer adequate. Some of us talked about jury-rigging a new role for her, but we decided that wouldn’t be right. So I sat down with Laura and explained the situation—and said that in light of her spectacular service, we would give her a spectacular severance package. I’d braced myself for tears or histrionics, but Laura reacted well: She was sad to be leaving but recognized that the generous severance would let her regroup, retrain, and find a new career path. This incident helped us create the other vital element of our talent management philosophy: If we wanted only “A” players on our team, we had to be willing to let go of people whose skills no longer fit, no matter how valuable their contributions had once been. Out of fairness to such people—and, frankly, to help us overcome our discomfort with discharging them—we learned to offer rich severance packages.

The drive toward the formation of metaphors is the fundamental human drive, which one cannot for a single instant dispense with in thought, for one would thereby dispense with man himself. This drive is not truly vanquished and scarcely subdued by the fact that a regular and rigid new world is constructed as its prison from its own ephemeral products, the concepts. It seeks a new realm and another channel for its activity, and it finds this in myth and in art generally.
Incredible writing talent and perceptivity.
