Good teacher 2

Bad teacher 2

.

The answer to the paradox, I think, is that you have to design for the user, but you have to design what the user needs, not simply what he says he wants. It’s much like being a doctor. You can’t just treat a patient’s symptoms. When a patient tells you his symptoms, you have to figure out what’s actually wrong with him, and treat that.

Genius 2

.

All children are born geniuses;

9999 out of every 10000 are swiftly,

inadvertently degeniusized by grownups.

The way to be a genius is to REALIZE that you are already one

as long as you can keep your child-self

against all the evils in the world.

Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus

.

You won’t — I really believe — get too much out of reading it. Because you won’t understand it; the content will seem strange to you. In reality, it isn’t strange to you, for the point is ethical. I once wanted to give a few words in the foreword which now actually are not in it, which, however, I’ll write to you now because they might be a key for you: I wanted to write that my work consists of two parts: of the one which is here, and of everything which I have not written. And precisely this second part is the important one.

* On his Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, in a letter to Ludwig von Ficker (1919), published in Wittgenstein : Sources and Perspectives (1979) by C. Grant Luckhard

Stand-up comedy

.

* Teaching is Like Acting – you’re standing up there on stage making us watch you: you’d better be worth it. The closest professions to teaching are stage acting and stand-up comedy. Learn how they do it.
