Yeah, me too. It seems a pretty common theme, in some ways.
“Classes will dull your mind, destroy the potential for authentic creativity.” ― John Nash
“We must be careful not to discourage our twelve-year-olds by making them waste the best years of their lives preparing for examinations.” ― Freeman Dyson, Infinite in All Directions
and. . . it occurs to me, the case of Bill Gates, etc.., Todd Brunson, etc.., but, those are only single cases, etc.,
however - another interesting fact is that studies have shown that it's true as well - cramming is not the best for the ideal functioning of the human brain.
And - no, sorry I cannot quote the source, but it was scientific. . I have a pretty good ability to tell those things. . . and it makes sense, reasons and jives with other stuff --
too much stress, and the brain doesn't function properly -- not sure how to quantify it (does everything have to be quantified? well, that is another topic and story)
but as I say, I don't know how to quantify it, but I believe to the point of knowledge that time in nature and / or meditation is one key. . .
more time spent absorbing info., relaxing the body including - a near infinite number of exercises which could be perfect --- for me, walking, climbing and swimming. . . . each for their own purpose. . .
swimming 'coz it takes the pressure off the feet and spine, and a few reasons -- climbing can do that too -- and walking is an ideal exercise 'coz it has no or almost no stress on the knees and spine
(one of my friends would joke - the 70's was a generation with the best cardiovascular systems - but they're too often in wheelchairs. . . on the point, that well, walking doesn't have that effect)
so - one aspect of it is spending more time to have the brain / body / heart [i]in[/i] the ideal or best capacity - which is relative, and has many goals or processes - (is not the process the result, largely?)
for what it is worth -- anyway, a lot of other things, just a few of them.
and then of course we haven't even touched on Schopenhaur's remarks on reading. ! :sun:
:)
anyway - so they picked up on it in circles of study - when will they follow suit in the main-stream education system?
who can say - an' such an open - leading to more open - question is simply a normal facet of life --
as well as the increasing evidence that marijuana is virtually a super-health substance,
and the vast healing potentials of other psychotropics (in various places and with varying background and ideals, etc)
so - anyway just normal stuff.
trade-offs for everything as is normal. marijuana heals dozens of things, as well as does some nifty things in the brain having to do with cannabinoids,
or in the words of Carl Sagan, 'brings serenity to a world that desperately needs it,'
and in tribal cultures, many positive effects and so forth -- and etc;
but it slows down reaction time and so forth , so it is not ideal for a sports competitor in most all cicrcumstances --
although again, the overall effects of health and spiritual, deeply beneficial psychological effects, it overall would probably be rather important in the development of many aspects of life. . .
( in terms of fortitude and perserverence, as well as happiness, peace, and health and other aspects of which they bring abundantly. )
in a lyric of deep Purple, 'it gets you strong for cryin' out loud' not definitely specifically of the subject of that.
and yeah i have wandered off topic. . . anyway.
[yeah quotes got messed up, ah well ; p]
