His book The Axeman's Gift was a brilliant collaboration with my favorite pscyhology writer, Robert Ornstein. But to follow Burke's esoteric connections I need visuals, as on the PBS show, or the ability to go at my own speed, as afforded by the written word. A better AV system and more sleep would have helped, too. Roger Schank presented a moving diatribe against education. Schools have failed to provide the education needed for today's world.
Nobody learns in the classroom.
Experts don't teach. Social skills are rarely taught. Practical skills are disdained. Schools are in a rut created 3,000 years ago, when groups would gather to listen to a literate community member read from the Torah. He going to open a law school.
