I'm enjoying the '5 Levels' series of videos from Wired. The idea is that a specialist explains the same concept at five distinct levels of complexity, beginning with an explanation to a young child, and progressive to discussing it with another specialist. It's funny to see how I perceive the difference in subjects I know and subjects I don't - I just node along during the discussion on the connectome, but find the high-level of discussion of harmony with Herbie Hancock to be almost meaningless. I once saw an article that explained encryption like this; it was really good, but I can't find it.
