new tacit knowledge videos #2

pranayama breathing, improv, and google-fu

Below are tacit knowledge videos added to the “The Best Tacit Knowledge Videos on Every Subject” list from May–August. Enjoy!

• Kenneth Folk, pranayama breathing.

  • “Kenneth Folk is an instructor of meditation who has received worldwide acknowledgment for his innovative approach to secular Buddhist meditation. After twenty years of training in the Burmese Theravada Buddhist tradition of Mahasi Sayadaw, including three years of intensive silent retreat in monasteries in Asia and the U.S., he began to spread his own findings, successfully stripping away religious dogma to render meditation accessible to modern practitioners" (Website).

• Keith Johnstone, teaching improv.

  • Author of Impro.

  • "A pioneer of improvisational theatre, he was best known for inventing the Impro System, part of which are the Theatresports" (Wikipedia).

• Gwern, "Internet Search Case Studies"

  • Gwern blogs at his well-known gwern.net.

  • Per his about, Gwern has also "worked for, published in, or consulted for: Wired, MIRI/SIAI, CFAR, GiveWell, the FBI, Cool Tools, Quantimodo, New Work Encyclopedia, Bitcoin Weekly, Mobify, Bellroy, Dominic Frisby, and private clients" (Website).

I’ve had a busy past few months (if a three-month meditation retreat counts as busy). There have been more videos submitted than videos added to the post in this batch. I will add these in the coming months.

Warmly,
