#002: Detect Weak Arguments, Balaji's Favorite High IQ Content, Building Robots
Hi All!
We are pleased to welcome you to this week's edition of Undiscovered, a newsletter with exclusive resources and insights expanding from the material found on our main site - becketu.com.
This week we look to detect weak arguments, learn the best place to start coding, and find high IQ content. Let's jump in:
Can you detect weak arguments?
How well can you evaluate arguments proposed by other people? We are constantly bombarded by this in politics, how to invest our money, and persuading people in general. Take the test here.
Ali Abdaal asks how to learn coding from scratch
In this post/tweet, popular doctor turned entrepreneur asks his followers "if you had to learn to code from scratch today, how would you go about it?" This was the top answer, and many more were mentioned in the replies.
What does a physics motivational video look like?
This video answers that question. Listen to Stephen Hawking, Richard Feynman, and others talk about the beauty of nature and physics. Serves as a nice reminder of the mystique that surrounds us every day.
Balaji Srinivasan's favorite 'high IQ content'
From this 2021 post/tweet, Balaji lists out a few of his favorite 'high IQ content' sites. Be sure to check out the new book that Eric Jorgenson also came out with, The Anthology of Balaji: A Guide to Technology, Truth, and Building the Future.
Student rejected from robot coding club, builds his own
A 'no' is never the end of the world. Check out this post from Akshay Narisetti, who decided to build his own rover after being rejected from a Popular Rover Coding Club on his campus. A nice reminder of determination, grit, and persistence.
