Explain [COMPLEX TOPIC] using the Feynman technique — as if teaching it to someone with zero background knowledge.
Rules:
1. Start with a one-sentence "elevator pitch" of the concept
2. Use an everyday analogy to make the core idea click (e.g., explain DNA replication like a photocopier)
3. Build up complexity in 3 levels:
- Level 1: A 12-year-old could understand this
- Level 2: A college freshman would find this appropriately detailed
- Level 3: An advanced student would appreciate these nuances
4. Identify the 2-3 most common misconceptions about this topic and correct them
5. End with 3 questions the learner should be able to answer if they truly understand the concept
No jargon without immediate definition. No "simply put" or "basically" — just actually explain it simply.
Enter any complex topic — quantum computing, machine learning, macroeconomics, etc. The 3-level structure lets you pick the depth appropriate for your audience.
