Needed are world-centric ethical capacities and profoundly embodied situational awareness. Needed are collaborative and loving mindsets, able to deal with loss and tragedy, able to rebuild with resilience, able to innovate ceaselessly and with alacrity. __Education must promote growth into new levels of maturity.__ We need a new kind of grown-up.
Education in a Time Between Worlds
Zachary Stein
__When you first begin to think about any subject, take a hard look at how it is defined.__ Study the generally accepted categories, the way people normally divide things up. Is it a logical system? Is it an inclusive system that takes into account all of the players? If the definition other people are using is wrong, if it is not robust enough, discard it and think up a better one. __You cannot afford to build your whole structure of understanding on weak foundations. And you may not be able to afford to see the world in the same light as everyone else.__
