“But once she found herself in the long hall and close to the glass table.  “Now, I’ll manage better this time,” she said to herself and began by taking the little golden key, and unlocking the door that led into the garden.  Then she set to work nibbling at the mushroom (she had kept a piece of it in her pocket) till she was about a foot high: then she walked down the little passage; and then- she found herself at last in the beautiful garden, among the bright flower-beds and the cool fountains,” (last paragraph of the tea party chapter from Alice in Wonderland).

My Thoughts

I do not believe that everything we see is a construction of the mind. People think and behave differently due to different environments, circumstances, upbringing, and experiences that force them to develop different mindsets. If everything is a construction of our minds, and all of us think differently, then we should all see different things. This is the same reason why people have different dreams, as dreams are a reflection of our state of mind at a particular time. But if we all think differently, why do we share the same reality? Since I do not have a scientific explanation for this, I would like to draw light upon the philosophy of Hinduism, which says that all suffering arises from our false conception of the self.

Evolution of science education as story telling and story revising

For years, I've been exploring ways of being a "less wrong" teacher.  And that means, among other things, noticing new problems that come along with creating new ways of being.

Fresh Family Rap

Now, this is the story all about how

Henry James Sr. and his kids turned out

And we'd like to take a minute

Just sit right there

And we'll tell you bout the Jameses and their life of despair.

 

All over the world they were born and raised

Outside the classroom they spent most of their days

Reading' and learnin' on their own instead

(‘cept for little Alice all laid up in her bed)

When their good old dad

Who spent some time abroad,

Started callin’ all their education flawed

They went to one boarding school before he volunteered,
