Today on the podcast, Tao and Gunnar talk about the accessibility of education and whether or not teaching creativity is feasible.

What’s with the huge class sizes? Can universities teach people how to be creative? After tackling Tao’s initial curiosities, a pleasant conversation about creating things for other people ensues. Topics like personal bias, being pretentious, clarity, simplicity, and the need for repetition are discussed. Is what you do important? Probably not. But do it anyway.
