The Universal Foundations for a Good Life - Scott H Young
So much of modern life relies on specialization. But are you good at all the core activities? The foundations?| Scott H Young
In 2014, I went with Vat Jaiswal on a trip to learn languages around the world. We traveled for just under one year, learning Spanish in Spain, Portuguese in Brazil, Mandarin Chinese in China and Taiwan and Korean in South Korea. For each language we had minimal preparation and aimed to learn with one rule: don't speak in English! See the progress we made for each language in just three months each, as well as Vat's stunning videography from each country.| Scott H Young

In 2012, I decided to try to learn MIT's 4-year undergraduate computer science curriculum in 12 months, without taking any classes. I was successful in passing the final exams for 33 classes and completing the required programming projects. You can view my TEDx Talk regarding the challenge, see links to all the free material I used, and see all the exams and projects I posted.| Scott H Young
