* ''On the significance of Kung Fu Panda'': | * ''On the significance of Kung Fu Panda'': âAnd if you think about that for a second, youâll realize that Einstein wasnât successful in leaving any Einsteins, and Francis Crick didnât leave Francis Cricks, and Winston Churchill didnât leave any Winston Churchills. If there was some way for a Newton to leave a Newton dependably, the world would be a completely different place. And what Kung Fu Panda was trying to do, in my opinion, was to struggle with this question of how would an innovator leave a successor when itâs his time to go? | ||
And so my claim was that the original innovator in the film is a turtle, which is an even more inappropriate kung fu archetype than a panda because theyâre obviously slow-moving. And the turtle works out the secrets of harmony and focus at the Pool of Sacred Tears. But when the kingdom is threatened by a kung fu student of great ability whoâs gone wrong, all that the kingdom can muster is the usual collection of over-trained students. So think aspirants to Princeton and Stanford and Harvard. And so these are all the kids who would get perfect SATs and have amazing extracurricular activities. | |||
But fundamentally, what we donât realize is that theyâve all been rendered incomplete in a way because they canât tap into the self- teaching modality because they have been so thoroughly over- taught. And so the turtle recognizes that the panda is the only one who can save the day. And all the turtle has to go on in choosing a successor is that the panda has innovated one silly thing, which is to turn a fireworks cart into a makeshift rocket to jump a wall. And so from this humble beginning, the magic unfolds. And itâs really about the magic of how one self-teacher leaves a successor and solves the problem.â <small>''(source: https://youtu.be/8LPwyy4scAc The Tim Ferriss Show Episode 131: Eric Weinstein-Transcript: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://fhww.files.wordpress.com/2018/08/131-eric-weinstein.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwiqr9Ke2-zsAhXQlnIEHUanDPYQFjAAegQIARAB&usg=AOvVaw0bcpyCI8qNLa701gMqy4VN)''</small> | |||
