I joined one of the bata testing sessions last year, and it was just incredible. How they were thinking about things, thinking probalistically and strategizing. It reminded me of this bucky fuller quote that i just put up an hour ago. And what fuller had to say was, you never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete. I think that our current educational system is in a really dangerous and bad place.
