- The catalyst is not the finalist just as the patron is not the artist.
- It doesn’t matter how you got in school, or to school, or where you go to school at - it just that you’re in school
- I think of expertise as a competent combination of knowledge, (official) practice, (unofficial) experience, wisdom, and ingenuity/intelligence.
- Memorizing knowledge in itself is not extraordinary; it is an advance memory, but its practicality is dependent on the possessor’s other capabilities. The application of intelligence is what distinguishes a genius from other brilliant minds.
- Would you rather officially have all the knowledge of all times in the world, but not be able to use any of it, or would you rather officially know nothing about anything, but be able to use whatever you can get your hands on and figure it all out? Is it better to know but not be able to use or use but not know you’re using? Is official or unofficial knowledge superior or are they both equal?
