Humans are not ideally set up to understand logic; they are ideally set up to understand stories.

Everything they teach in school is oriented so that they can test it to show that you know it, instead of taking note of the obvious, which is that people learn by doing what people want to do.

Humans are not ideally set up to understand logic; they are ideally set up to understand stories.

The language of the culture also reflects the stories of the culture. One word or simple phrasal labels often describe the story adequately enough in what we have termed culturally common stories. To some extent, the stories of a culture are observable by inspecting the vocabulary of that culture. Often entire stories are embodied in one very culture-specific word. The story words unique to a culture reveal cultural differences.

Learning is about failure and recovery from failure.

Learning happens when someone wants to learn, not when someone wants to teach.

In the end all we have...are stories and methods of finding and using those stories.
