problem with just problem solving

These kids in school have so much to study! Guess I did too. I still do! what am i saying. So many questions to answer. Eternal problem solvers. Eternal conceptual problems solvers. That would have been ok, if we were the problem finders too. Someone thinks some thing should be a quesstion, puts it up and we, the kids as well as the adults solve them. As answers are given to questions that were never asked by own selves, boredom sets in...

I wish there would be some new teaching techniqie that'd come up.

Something that presents to say Unnikkuttan, just one sentence in the beginning, as he sits to study Mauryan History, say. From nowhere, a young lad name Chandragupta came and built an empire that'd stand the test of centuries. Then he should ask. Where? When? How? What was he like? What was the odds of that happening? and so on.. Then the programme will give the answers, and finding gaps, asking for info to fill in those gaps, Unnikkuttan will learn.

problems can be owned, knowledge can be enjoyed only when we get to find them too na. Or how do we have a citizenry who questions along with performing?

Which Mr L to choose????

Locke said, Tabula Rasa it is. A blank piece of marble ready to be engraved by Environment. Words worth said, yep, it is marble indeed , to retain. But to mould, it's like wax.

Leibniz, my dearest Leibniz didn't change words too much. Just added an adjective and turned the metaphor on its head He said , all right marble it is, but am telling you, the marble is veined.

Nativism, fills all the missing blanks , for me. But then how much infallibility should i ascribe to it. Especially when to be so deterministic could mean to accept inequality.

Truth= f(time)

It's a cycle. All of it. Cycle's pedals, civilisation's evolution, markets' behavior, people's moods, fashion's prescriptions.. everything that is on and above and below are circuituous. Maybe thats why some great man (was it the one who invented atom bomb?) once remarked, real truths are those which are both true and false at the same time.

Everything has a crest and trough. A crest and trough spread cross the dimension of time.

Time.. it's so omnipresent and omnipotent.. Yet so undetected is it's omnipresence. Ofcourse, we do feel the ticking of the clocks, the movements of sun across the sky. But do we really understand how everything we deem as to be something, is that something , only against that particular dimension of time?

For instance. Take the simplest of, one of the most automatic of body movements- an eye blink. Now divide the blink into a constituent parts. In the first 1/10 of a second it's just a partial lowering of the eye lid, and in the last 9/10th second it is an uplift of eye. An aggregation of such movements- half of them in the reverse direction and nature to the other half becomes a unity called eye blink only when the time of reference changes from 1/10 seconds to say a second.. Do we really understand the implication of this? I mean as long as there is a flowing time, there can never be any absolute truth... How do we ensure that what we see of a phenomenon (whatever may the phenomenon be) is the phenomenon and not just a constituent part of a larger unity? As our "time of reference" extends, what may be perceived as an event will seem like just a atom of that event..

Always know this, so. Everything you think you are, everthing that you think the world is, is just a function of time. f(x). As x changes value of f(x) undergoes changes.. A fool one would be to judge such functions/flows to be absolute.... alle?
