I would rather entertain and hope that people learned something than educate people and hope they were entertained.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People will pay more to be entertained than educated.
People learn more if they're learning in directly engaging ways.
I would wish eventually to be able to make television that informs and educates as well as entertains.
Learning would be exceedingly laborious, not to mention hazardous, if people had to rely solely on the effects of their own actions to inform them what to do.
Since we can't know what knowledge will be most needed in the future, it is senseless to try to teach it in advance. Instead, we should try to turn out people who love learning so much and learn so well that they will be able to learn whatever needs to be learned.
When a medium like games or comic books whips up such a rapture of enthusiasm, naturally we look for lessons we should be learning.
I can possibly say I have entertained and educated more people than anyone else in the world.
We need to make education so much fun that students can't help but learn.
Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.
We know television should educate and inform, and I believe it should entertain.
