What survives is not always what’s best.

It might not be important, but it is measurable.

“You need to protect people not companies.” Yes, can’t argue against that.

If you seek the “quick way to teach,” you misunderstand learning.

Being correct and being clear are not the same.

Technology rarely transfers... effective tools in one context/ culture/ society are not as effective in others.

Jargon obscures.

Can we stop saying and writing some form of life “evolved for” some purpose? Genetic change is a random and it just happens that some mutation produce outcomes the prove useful.

Creativity is so essential to our collective survival, it is strange we have never figure out how to nurture it.

One of the best things I ever did as a teacher was to have students use older editions of physics texts (we got ‘em online for a few bucks shipped) and showed the students how to write in textbooks.

Context us not “noise we reduce to make learning easy,” it is vital to making learning possible.

How do you differentiate salient from irrelevant data?

“Problem producing traditions” is my new favorite term.
