Lex Fridman asks Judea Pearl what advice he would give students who want to develop new ideas about intelligent systems despite criticism and established conventions.

Pearl encourages students to ask questions freely, pursue their own approaches and not accept rejection without investigation.

02

Find your own way

He says trial and error will reveal when an idea leads nowhere, but students should follow their questions and try to understand things in their own way.

He says trial and error will reveal when an idea leads nowhere, but students should follow their questions and try to understand things in their own way.

Fridman connects that advice to inertia in science and academia. They discuss independent thinking and a rebellious spirit in students.
