"Education should be one of the main processes that takes us to our element, but all too often, it does the opposite."
Creativity is seen as something that you use to pursue a hobby, academia does not view creativity as being very relevant in modern society. This is a feeling that I have noticed within school and universities over the past few years. Creativity is often viewed as being impractical and not of any significant value.
I come from the perspective of a jaded artist, who when studying fine arts was asked when I was going to get a real job and stop pursuing a hobby. I found the most interesting people at art school were those that have decided to chuck in their careers late in life and decided to study painting. That seems crazy to most people. Why? Because it`s an impractical decision.
What is intelligence? What forms of intelligence are there? Can intelligence be measured?
The concept that he discusses of "recovering from one`s education", is something that rings very true to me. "How intelligent are you?", and "How are you intelligent?", are interesting questions that are ignored in modern education because they are impossible to answer.
