Motivational Speech
As Yan exhorted us in his e-mail, if we are going to make material for this camp, we should do it the right way. Let's try to avoid any cached thoughts about what "ought" to go into these units, and instead try to distill out the most useful information we can supply to these students, both in terms of things that are important but hard to learn later, and things that will help them optimize for the future. Let's present it in the best way possible, feeling free to draw upon other resources (like Eliezer's Sequences, for instance), and linking to other good resources whenever possible. Let's make this something that we can proudly link our students to when we are done with it, and that serves as a central repository for incredibly useful knowledge that many people will want to look at. In this way, we can positively influence not just the students that attend SPARC, but also anyone else who reads our material.
