At some point in our lives, we’ve all practiced some counterproductive learning habits. We’ve sabotaged ourselves without realizing it, and found ourselves stuck. There have been failures we believe have defined our potential. We’ve obsessed over perfect solutions and singular pathways. In frustrated moments we’ve refused help from others, thinking acceptance means weakness. We’ve done this as teachers, students, friends, and parents.

These are not crimes; they’re part of what makes us human. Our counterproductive learning habits usually come from what we observe and hear. We pick things up as children from well-intentioned adults in our lives. In addition, the experiences of others constantly unfold right in front of us. We observe actively, and we remember.

Eventually we come to believe that what we see is how things are, and that it never changes. We know now that this doesn’t have to be the case. We know now that we can create our own experiences. Let’s make them good ones when it comes to learning.

The event was catastrophic on a cosmic scale — a merger of black holes that violently shook the surrounding fabric of space and time, and sent a blast of space-time vibrations known as gravitational waves rippling across the Universe at the speed of light.

 

But it was the kind of calamity that physicists on Earth had been waiting for. On 14 September, when those ripples swept across the freshly upgraded Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (Advanced LIGO), they showed up as spikes in the readings from its two L-shaped detectors in Louisiana and Washington state. For the first time ever, scientists had recorded a gravitational-wave signal.

 

“There it was!” says LIGO team member Daniel Holz, an astrophysicist at the University of Chicago in Illinois. “And it was so strong, and so beautiful, in both detectors.” Although the shape of the signal looked familiar from the theory, Holz says, “it’s completely different when you see something in the data. It’s this transcendent moment”.

Vous ne connaissez peut-être pas le nom de Blek le rat alors que vous êtes familier de celui de Banksy. Pourtant, il est l’initiateur de l’art urbain et le premier à avoir introduit la méthode des pochoirs dans le graffiti. Le moins que l’on puisse dire lorsqu’on voit des images de ses réalisations, c’est qu’elles sont très proches de celles de Banksy. Et pour cause, ce dernier aura cette phrase à propos de l’artiste de rue français : « À chaque fois que je peins quelque chose je découvre que Blek le rat l’a déjà fait simplement 20 ans avant ! » Certains l’accusent même de parfois plagier Blek le Rat. Je ne sais pas si on peut vraiment avancer de tels propos mais il est clair que les deux ont de nombreux points communs. Au premier chef duquel, la contestation de certains..

Learning, the real learning, happens… When you are intentional about learning When you are driven by an intrinsic need to advance and not only by external triggers and rewards. When you ask more questions to get to the WHY of things (and then to what and how) When you carry an open frame of mind
