Ken Robinson: How to escape education’s death valley
Sir Ken Robinson outlines 3 principles crucial for the human mind to flourish — and how current education culture works against them. In a funny, stirring talk he tells us how to get out of the educational “death valley” we now face, and how to nurture our youngest generations with a climate of possibility.
Creativity expert Sir Ken Robinson challenges the way we’re educating our children. He champions a radical rethink of our school systems, to cultivate creativity and acknowledge multiple types of intelligence.
“The second principal that drives human life to flourish is curiosity. If you can light the spark of curiosity in a they will learning without any further assistance…”
“Teaching is a creative profession. Teaching properly conceived is not a delivery system…”
I completely agree that Education is a human system and not a mechanical one. Something has got to give.

I really enjoy reading your blog and getting to see how diverse everyones load out is. So here is currently what I usually have on me. -Dan
- 32oz Nalgene bottle(I drink at least one every day)
- Keys w/gerber shard(would love an atwood and toying with the idea of a second light on the keys)
- Citizen BM6400 on NATO strap (cheap durable and easy to read)
- Slimmy Wallet
- iPhone 4
- Spyderco Sage 2 Titanium
- 4sevens Preon 2
- Shure e2c IEMs (I intend to replace these with custom molded IEMs soon)Editor’s Note: Hey Dan, I appreciate your support. Let’s take a look at your EDC… It’s good to see that you keep a bottle, hydration is really important for daily health, and having water could save your life one day, actually. I just wonder how you carry something like that. As for your keychain, some Atwoods would definitely add different functionalities but also keep an eye out on Leatherman, word on the street is that they acquired PocketToolX and should have some more affordable keychain one piece multitool offerings to consider. A second light is not a bad idea either, considering your main light is a little long — a small twisty light should complement it well (if you like 4sevens, maybe a Mini CR2 if you can manage the bulk). But in its current configuration, your keychain seems lightweight enough to handle everything on that non-locking carabiner, assuming you pocket tuck it. Good choice of watch, you bring up a good point about it being easy to read. Arabic numerals would help out with that considering the small case diameter. Your knife is a great EDC, not too large with a nice blade shape, excellent materials and lock. And yes, e2cs are a little dated but I see you’re in the market to upgrade. Nice carry over all and thanks for sharing.

SNL Celebrity Jeopardy 5-14-05. Hulu seems to have deleted darnit. So wrong at many levels, but so incredibly entertaining at the same time.
Crazy, creepy and cool.
Perhaps Ray Kerzweil is right regarding human intelligence being replicable via artificial intelligence in 10 years. Interesting he is a Unitarian…
