Re: Mind's Eye Re: deep thought

there is great value in systematic enlightenment,,,  I also think though that in needs to be a attachment to those out of the box and not dismissing them..  knowledge and access to it is spread through out humanity.   the problems comes when someone starts saying I deserve more.

I agree that learning is self taught on the condition that most of the means and content is circumstantial and not chosen, 'systematique' is an abstraction and so for most I think it has referential truth (as a resource) but not process modeling truth until the mind has worked out components, inner systems and interactions.

An aim for building problem solving intelligence, developing experience with the tools of learning and skill in adapting skills/knowledge to solve novel (relatively) problems seems a good rough-draft purpose. The building blocks are important, they don't fall into arrangement the same for everyone though and that makes it challenging. I've had a few days where the teachers instruction seemed a variation on 'first world problems' and many of my schoolmates were hardened in that way, this is a known unknown, the challenge is an opportunity I think.

Gabby I was pulling a Marvin the Martian earlier, my general usage of enlightenment seems to be similar to Allan's, or as a 'piercing a veil of ignorance'. I hoped to get a view from Konara, but your tips were, hmm 'enlightening' nonetheless. ;-)

You need basic skills to begin with, however, and these are only as
successful as certain other qualities/opportunities are present or
attainable. Morality is generally picked up from family, tribe,
nation, religion, political theory. There are plenty of examples of
evil or poor choices made by popular consent/majority opinion. What is
the ultimate purpose of education? Wisdom? Income? Etc.?

What Neil says is that all learning is self taught - and so you are always
successful. The question here is what you learn. The moral that you acquire
while learning sans systematique is definitely more difficult to justify,
yes.

Interesting the self taught often succeed..  could be it seems what they
do not learn appearantly is morality  or how to justify their actions..

I don't know either work referred to but not sure society could
tolerate this kind of freedom in education or workplace with a few
exceptions. Funny, but the self-taught often succeed. Anyway, society
needs to control its education and workplaces- esp. since the
Industrial Revolution. Another thought is the object of work<education
is often just about money though many are dedicated to ideals and
service and money is an afterthought or nevermind.

The short story is as Gabby remembers.  20 years ago I ran a module
called Creative Organisational Practices.  The essential choice for
students was to study the comparative relevance of Enid Blyton
(children's stories) and 'In Search of Excellence' to management
practice (both clearly fictional) or do something "creative" to stop
me lecturing on this and do something they invented.  That might be
education.

The ejukationist's job is to stop people realising this, the

a enlightened carpenter the enlightenment will show up in his

there are many forms of enlightenment.. a skilled carpenter
can be
enlightened on crafting wood.. a nurse can be enlightened
on caring
for patients  . . .   there are many different forms of
enlightenment..
spiritual enlightenment is perhaps the most confusing of all
knowledge..

Of course a more figurative light is being meant! The
trouble
remains
the same. "Enlightenment" is the word. The context makes it
'Aufklärung' or
'Erleuchtung', light particle or light wave.

Hello Konara, rigsy, all. I am wondering if this is a more
figurative
'light'..? In the sense that it illuminates the world and
allows
a greater
understanding and mastery of things, I mean.
Spring is in the air. :)
