Book cover for The One World Schoolhouse: Education Reimagined
This forced me to acknowledge that sometimes the presence of a teacher—either in the room or at the other end of a telephone connection; either in a class of thirty or tutoring one-to-one—can be a source of student thought-paralysis.

“Enjoyment appears at the boundary between boredom and anxiety, when the challenges are just balanced with the person’s capacity to act.”
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience

Paul  Lockhart
“Mental acuity of any kind comes from solving problems yourself, not from being told how to solve them.”
Paul Lockhart, A Mathematician's Lament: How School Cheats Us Out of Our Most Fascinating and Imaginative Art Form

Julia Galef
“Discovering you were wrong is an update, not a failure, and your worldview is a living document meant to be revised.”
Julia Galef, The Scout Mindset: The Perils of Defensive Thinking and How to Be Right More Often

John Taylor Gatto
“The truth is that schools don’t really teach anything except how to obey orders.”
John Taylor Gatto, Dumbing Us Down: The Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling

Eliezer Yudkowsky
“What does it mean to call for a “democratic” solution if you don’t have a conflict-resolution mechanism in mind?
I think it means that you have said the word “democracy,” so the audience is supposed to cheer. It’s not so much a propositional statement, as the equivalent of the “Applause” light that tells a studio audience when to clap.”
Eliezer Yudkowsky, Rationality: From AI to Zombies
