“As parents, we can do a great deal to further this goal by helping our children develop alternative ways of knowing the world verbally/analytically and visually/spatially. During the crucial early years, parents can help to shape a child's life in such a way that words do not completely mask other kinds of reality. My most urgent suggestions to parents are concerned with the use of words, or rather, not using words.” WorldWayYearsKindChildrenHelpingUseRealityParentGoalCan DoDealsKnowingShapesConcernedOur ChildrenAlternativesMaskCrucialSuggestionsUrgentUsing Words Author:Betty Edwards
“The deep paradox uncovered by AI research: the only way to deal efficiently with very complex problems is to move away from pure logic....
