everything begins with perception – means we’re only responding to what we’ve seen before..
creates a tremendous problem..
how can we ever see differently
all new perceptions begin with questions..
the problem with questions is they create
uncertainty
to question why is one of the most dangerous things you can do is question why
but it’s also the only way to see new things.
the best questions are the ones that create the most uncertainty
to question what you think to be true already
what is evolutions answer to the problem of uncertainty…
play
play is a way of being, only human endeavor in which uncertainty is celebrated
we play to play
play is its own reward
if you add rules to play, that’s an experiment
not just to see science differently, but to see yourself differently through science
most exciting was that this work was completely new and no one had done it before
