Ever wondered what happens when you sing, what methods to use for effective practice, and how to advocate for yourself as a performer? Listen to this riveting episode with tenor Philippe Castagner; he shares his journey back from a career that had fallen apart, how he taught himself what he needed to know to succeed, and so much more.  Philippe Bio: Philippe Castagner is a professional operatic tenor.  After winning the Metropolitan Opera National Council Audition at the age of 22, his career briefly flourished, but proved unsustainable.  After determining that the cause of his failure was a lack of technical preparation, psychological resilience, and physical fitness, he set out to craft a new vocal pedagogy using historical and contemporary sources.  The resulting  "New School Singing" is a pedagogical system built on the premises that the human voice is not an instrument, that voice culture is the process of influencing a living being, and that vocal techniques are species of direct action rather than examples of tool use.  As a result of applying this new philosophy to his own singing practice, he was able to successfully return to life as a professional operatic tenor, singing lead roles on stages in Germany, Czechia, and Italy.  His experience compelled him to start Mister Opera, a sometimes controversial YouTube channel that seeks to educate, entertain, and advocate for consumers of vocal pedagogy.  He currently resides in Pilsen, Czechia.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: You are better at math (and alignment) than you think, published by Trevor1 on October 13, 2022 on LessWrong. I was absolutely dazzled by the Viliam-Valentine Math-Education debate, which was in the comments section of the Seeking PCK chapter in the Center for Applied Rationality's Rationality Handbook. The debate gives an autopsy of why education systems inflicts math on children during their most formative years, resulting in the vast majority of the population falsely believing that they cannot enjoy math. In reality, you can probably get very good at math and have a great time doing it too; and, in fact, you even have a very serious chance of becoming one of the 300 AI safety researchers on earth. Odds are also good that you have a big advantage in terms of "superior-at-actually-using-math-in-real life" genes, which have a surprisingly weak correlation with the "inferior at learning math in a classroom at age 7" genes (such as being praise-motivated, obedient, and comfortable doing the same thing hundreds of times without asking why). I strongly recommend reading this debate yourself if you currently don't see yourself as quantitatively skilled or quantitatively employed, and also showing it to other people who might have had strong potential for quantitative skill all along. The phenomena described below seems to be the main reason why such a small proportion of people are willing to do the quantitative work necessary for technical AI alignment, and therefore they are a major alignment bottleneck that is worth tackling. Viliam: I think that in Slovakia an d Czechia, this style of teaching [PCK, aka paying attention to what it's like to learn something while you are teaching] is referred to as "constructivist education". On the other hand, for English-speaking audience, the word "constructivism" seems to refer to quite different things (1, 2, 3). And when I try to explain concepts like this in English, I sometimes get surprising responses when people seem to automatically run along the chain of associations: "trying to understand the student's model" = "constructivism" = "you should never explain math" = "math wars" = "total failure". I tried to figure out how this could have happened, and my current best guess is that in the past some people in USA promoted some really stupid and harmful ideas under the banner of "constructivism", which made people associate the word "constructivism" with those stupid ideas. Meanwhile, some of the original good ideas are still taught, but carefully under different labels. (Longer version here.) So perhaps the people who want to learn how to teach well, could find something useful in the writings of Piaget and Vygotsky. However, a Google search for "constructivism" might just return a list of horror stories. By the way, I would expect pedagogical content knowledge of STEM topics to be super rare, because it requires an intersection of being good at psychology and math. And, at least in my experience, psychologists are often quite math- and tech-phobic. On the other hand, people good at math often fail to empathize with the beginners, and just keep writing complex equations, preferably without explanation of what the symbols mean. Valentine: On the other hand, for English-speaking audience, the word "constructivism" seems to refer to quite different things (1, 2, 3). And when I try to explain concepts like this in English, I sometimes get surprising responses when people seem to automatically run along the chain of associations: "trying to understand the student's model" = "constructivism" = "you should never explain math" = "math wars" = "total failure". IIRC, this was the result of trying to implement the good version of constructivism in the USA. It wasn't just that some people had bad ideas and called those "constructivism" to...
