Oh man, the irony of that statement.
I can see in his quest to 'relate" to his students and be hip and cool, he only ended up coddling and enabling them and in the end helped created the monster that is Elizabeth Holmes.
Robertson is clearly a smart and accomplished (you have to be when you're a professor in his field). He should have seen through Holmes's bullshit from day one and most certainly had the ability to. She did two semesters and then quit. This leads to the conclusion that they must have been lovers at some point. If Zuckerberg would been the one trying to sell this scam as a young drop out Robertson wouldn't have bought it. No way.
Great parts:@16:50, where he talks about teaching and his role as a teacher. Later,@25:16: No exams in his class! He let's them take it home and gives them enough time because this is how life his - you get a problem, you go into a quiet corner and think about it, without the pressure of an exam. Immediately after that he says on memorization: It's okay - to memorize how you find stuff (instead of all those "facts" themselves).
@@bearmerica6668 and I also see he is one of those who contributed into creating a generation of snowflakes who went out into the world thinking the world runs on their timetable and have to accommodate them.
The sad thing is this guy was one of the few people that could have stopped Holmes. He actually had years of experience in science and engineering, he should have been able to reel Holmes in and talk to her about realistic goals and expectations. Instead he fed into her wild fantasies and enabled her on her path of fraud
This guy is a scumbag. I am hoping the Theranos debacle destroyed his reputation, especially in light of what Ian Gibbons' widow had to say about the Holmes trial outcome. This asswipe betrayed Gibbons to Holmes which lead to his eventual suicide.
@@PungiFungi I think as the teacher you always want to be optimistic. I was working on Microfluidics chip at my university at around this time. So were a lot of other people, so it's not a foreign concept to the scientific community what Holmes was doing. Duke university (if I remember correctly) was one of the leading ones when I was working on the project (2012). Hindsight is 2020, but I think what he tried to do was just as many other professors would. Which is believe in your pupils. Also the more shady stuff Elizabeth did was after she moved on from Dr Robertson.
@@VideoOfMike - He repeatedly traded his reputation for money, and publicly vouched for the soundness of a technology that didn't work. If he knew it didn't work then he's a lying fraud. If he didn't know then he's an unreliable intellectual fraud who had absolutely no business making the statements he did, and should have known better. He's now a man undeserving of respect.
@@VideoOfMike well Holmes never exactly moved on from Dr Robertson, did she. Robertson remained a board member at Theranos, and was hired as a consultant for the company pretty much all the way until it was dissolved in 2018. He was, if anything, always supportive of the company despite its shady dealings.
Phyllis Gardner was interviewed about him once. She said that he sort of went into hiding once Theranos was exposed, and no one heard much from him again. He must have been extremely humiliated, he had a terrible role in this scandal
@@BlueCourtingBooks is he? I guess I’m wrong. I know Gardner said he went out of the public eye after Theranos and hasn’t seen him for a long time. I assumed that meant he stopped working there

No exams? LOL, no wonder this guy worked at Theranos.

imo he was the first enabler.
Impressive man with a story.
He killed Ian Gibbons.
he sold his soul for $500,000
lovely talk! thank you

to skip the intro.
Wonder what he is doing now ..... he helped promote 1 of the biggest fraudsters of all time.
Phyllis Gardner was interviewed about him once. She said that he sort of went into hiding once Theranos was exposed, and no one heard much from him again. He must have been extremely humiliated, he had a terrible role in this scandal
@@pete6705 He's still teaching at Stanford
@@BlueCourtingBooks is he? I guess I’m wrong. I know Gardner said he went out of the public eye after Theranos and hasn’t seen him for a long time. I assumed that meant he stopped working there
Channing Robertson, the first Board of Director of Theranos and friend of Elizabeth Holmes! Shame on Stanford!

有序的大脑交互肢体感官有序输入，形成有序的感官语言叫做意识，对于味觉和嗅觉我的领悟浅显，所以稍微想浅析下听觉语言，视觉语言，和肢体语言。听觉语言是偏向听感的输入，声音律动的输入，音乐的旋律，节奏的敲打，无秩序的噪音，各种声呐的律动形成的意识规律。视觉语言偏向画面感的输入，图案，山水，静态画面，动态画面，各种画面形成的意识规律。肢体语言，整个身躯在时空环境里的律动，静一点，打坐，静态拉伸，慢走，快走，跑步，舞蹈，体操，街舞，肢体律动和大脑意识的互动。如果不是先天性基因或者外因形成的特别严重的感观缺陷，意识再生命时空的幻化的过程是具有可塑性的，就是人们所说练习造就完美。人类和其他生物区，在于基于个体感观形成意识差异性，有序结合时空区域的意识差异碰撞形成整体性的意识流通渠道，互联网，人工智能......在意识思维里面又有，哲学思维，神学思维，数学思维，律动思维，嗅觉思维，味觉思维.....各种组合形成通感可以分为区域思维，区域文化。华语区的思维偏向，听觉思维和视觉思维，比如，后视后听的通感，其实已经听过了看过的场景，在大脑里重新想象模拟产生新的意境。华语区后台的意识训练也偏向这个方向，文艺类的作品，也是自嘲调侃，悼念青春流逝，年华不在的感叹，诗歌，音乐，电影，可以看到这样的意识思维很多很多。英语区意识思维，体量大，全球化的过程对接性强，文艺作品有感观对时空的后视，当下正视，未来的前视，文艺作品爆发的创意也非常厉害，音乐，电影，文学，历史，哲学，一流的大学意识的包容和胸怀是值得点赞的。分析了这么多其实对我而言真是珍惜自己一点感观的天赋和建立在感观上的思维自学能力，很好的，很开心的体会身躯和意识在时空律动中的人生吧，也是我最近变开心乐观的基础，我不是疯疯癫癫的，这些行为需要学习的基础。
