I have great confidence in human curiosity - even though I don't know what curiosity is from a biological point of view. One of its characteristics has got to be the willingness to explore.

Every brain is wired differently from every other brain, and learns in ways unique to that wiring.

Most brain scientists have not taught 4th grade, and don't know very much about the classroom, even though they might study learning in some detail.
