“The central task of education is to implant a will and a facility for learning; it should produce not learned but learning people. The truly human society is a learning society, where grandparents, parents, and children are students together. In a time of drastic change it is the learners who inherit the future. The learned usually find themselves equipped to live in a world that no longer exists.”—
Eric Hoffer (via librarianista)
It’s painfully obvious which most of America’s leaders in government and business are—the learned. They aren’t adapting—learning anything new. Those of us on the ‘net, well, clearly, we’re still learning :)
