“Knowing how to think empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think.”
“Fix the adults, then the kids will be fine.”
“There is no greater education than one that is self-driven.”
“Kids are born scientists. They’re always turning over rocks. […] That’s what exploration kind of is. You take stuff apart, whether or not you know how to put it back together. This is what kids do. An adult scientist is a kid who never grew up.”
“For me, the fact that there’s a rise of flat-Earthers is evidence of two things. One, we live in a country that protects free speech. And, two, we live in a country with a failed educational system. Our system needs to train you not only what to know but how to think about information and knowledge and evidence. If we don’t have that kind of training, you’d run around believing anything.”
