In an era where knowledge is abundant, how do you truly stand out? If anyone can acquire tactical skills quickly, what gives you a lasting competitive edge? This session explores radically different ways of learning, beyond textbooks, degrees, or even online courses. We’ll delve into learning through immersion, intuition, altered states, constraints, indigenous wisdom and self-experimentation, approaches that unlock deeper insights and personal transformation. Featuring a diverse panel of individuals who have hacked the way they learn, from mystics to cognitive scientists, this discussion will challenge traditional education models and inspire new ways to develop rare knowledge, originality, and personal distinctiveness.
