educating ourselves out of creativity and fear

“All fear is based on the idea that we need something. The definition of fear is the thought that we are not going to be able to have something we think we need. The person that doesn’t need anything has no fear of anything. When i don’t need anything from you, i don’t fear you. When i don’t even need my own life, then i’m not afraid even if you kill me. Then i really don’t need anything from you. i don’t even need you to stop killing me.”

Holy fucking shit.

“If you are not prepared to be wrong, then you won’t come up with anything original. we stigmatise mistakes. We are educated out of creativity. There isn’t an education system on the planet that teaches dance every day to children like we teach them mathematics. The whole purpose of public education throughout the world is to produce university professors. We need to radically re-think our idea of intelligence. “

And Piers, if you’re reading this, this is why i told you when we were 13 that dyslexia has nothing to do with intelligence.

And Dan, oh Dan. Oh Dan. Spanked for 30 secs in public. About time :)
