Popular research does not equate to meaningful research.

From a medical standpoint, two of the biggest medical breakthroughs of the century: The Philadelphia chromosome in CML and H. pylori as the cause for gastric ulcers, were first published in throw-away journals decades before anyone considered their utility.

Erez may be brilliant, he may be a great mathematician, but doing those things alone do not guarantee one publishes in Nature. Politics plays a role too. One must first find people that one wants to become like, and then make one’s self like that so that they feel as if they relate to the person. Social molting, or something like that. Surrounding one’s self with the right circle of people appears to be the rate-limiting step.

I’m currently experiencing the disadvantages of this idea: My PhD supervisor wanted me to learn a certain technique to prove certain results, but every time I apply this to the set of problems we are interested in, I don’t get a satisfying result. All I did the last year was playing around with this technique, but I could prove almost nothing. I feel like I wasted a year. Also, I didn’t learn that much apart from this one technique.
Any ideas on this or on how to act in situations like these in the future?

Hi Cal,
How exactly should I apply the ultra-learning hypothesis as a freshman?
Should I invest time learning lots of courses related to my major or just focus on my CGPA?
