TED talk notes

3 themes
people are creative
everyone has an interest in education
unpredictability of future
extraordinary capabilities of children
all children have talent and we squander them
education and creativity
creativity in education is as important as literacy
little girl in drawing lesson
only pays attention during drawing portion
"what are you drawing" "god" "but nobody knows what he looks like" "they will in a moment"
kids take at a chance
not afraid to be wrong
if you're not prepared to be wrong you won't create anything
educating people out of creative capacities
people are born artists and have trouble staying artists
telling an alien: "what's the purpose of education? what's the best output? Professors."
public education was created for industrialism
a lot of very bright people don't think they are because
academic inflation\
intelligence:
    diverse - all sorts of senses
    dynamic - interactive
    distinct -
if a man speaks his mind in a forest and no woman is around to hear him is he still wrong?
rethink fundamental basis of education
