much more can be achieved or revealed, if we don’t do things for the sake of ritual (a thing we must do according to status quo). Its a sort of stretching of the bounds or going beyond the horizons of ontology

    I thought this was a funny joke at first, but the deeper meaning hit me after a second. As an educator wouldn’t that be nice to focus on the teaching/learning and not the work.

      I learn best by doing, so for me the work is actually really important for reinforcing what I’ve learned. If I don’t have a way to apply what I’ve learned it’ll be lost pretty quickly.

        So to me you pursuing your learning via a method that works for you (practical, hands-on) is exactly what I would want to see, and that’s going to look different for everybody.

        By work I mean the set task we say every person has to complete despite not everyone actually needing to do the same thing the same way. It’s the doing a job because I need to tick it off so my boss can tick off that I did a job, so their boss can tick off etc. Work is the silly stuff that gets in the way of learning.

    While I agree with the sentiment, how do you know what you want to learn and do without being exposed to it and understanding what you are being exposed to? Most of us can’t be bothered to look to deeply into anything, how do you change that? Education certainly isn’t what it used to be, but I am not sure this is the answer to that.
