François Chollet on Twitter: "Direct experience is the layer of understanding from which all the others arise. You've got to try things and see how they work out. You won't know the taste of a new dish by reading the recipe."

  Fail to learn from the past and doom yourself to repeat it. But sure, go ahead and see for yourself.

  Reminds me of Robin Williams' legendary "your move, chief" monologue in Good Will Hunting (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119217/characters/nm0000245 …).pic.twitter.com/4wmQ1XbzSp

  Combination of reading the recipe and going through the experience. Both are essential.

  Appreciate this tweet but it doesn't completely resonate like many of your tweets do. Knowledge lets you run (helpful) simulations even though they may be shadow of direct experience. Just listened to this Sean Carroll: David Eagleman podcast, recommend:https://youtu.be/0W2RlRoPFjY
