If we are to develop profound theory to solve the intractable problems in our societally-critical domains... we must learn to crawl into the life of what makes people tick.
I think it's tragic that we have this human capacity, which appears to be hardwired, or so the evolutionary biologists say, for collective joy. We have these techniques for generating it that go back thousands of years, and yet we tend not to use this.
You learn that the interest is in what you don't yet know and that theories evolve. But we nonetheless have progress and improved knowledge over time.
Looking back, I realize that nurturing curiosity and the instinct to seek solutions are perhaps the most important contributions education can make.
We have learned how to do a lot of things. We must try to relearn why.
Our civilization has evolved through the continuous adjustment of society to the stimulus of new knowledge.

Problem solving is hunting. It is savage pleasure and we are born to it.
We are the facilitators of our own creative evolution.
