Part 4: Epigenetics
P1 – Imagine that we have had numerous past conversations through which we developed an agreement about the meaning of the word learning.
From our genes and biology through our ancestors effects, human beings are evolutionarily adapted for learning. We learn to adapt and adapt to learn. Through our adaptation and learning we evolve. Learning is the central dynamic of being human in every conceivable dimension of being human.
Rather than the common limiting conception of learning as an ancillary utility for mental acquisition, we agreed learning is the central dynamic of becoming and being human. From inhabiting our bodies to acquiring emotional then spoken language to learning to become the person who talks to ourselves and together who we become in the world.
In every dimension from the most practical to the most profound nothing is more universally relevant to all solutions to all of humanity’s existential crisis nor more responsible for the reasons that most of the crisis exist in the first place.
We came to consider learning as the central dynamic from cells to cerebrums from fetus to child to adult to generations. Adapting, Learning, Evolving – they are all the same, but learning has the possibility of agency.
Do you agree with this expanded definition of learning? If so define and describe what we mean in one paragraph. https://g.co/gemini/share/6b9f45810883
P2 – Your response: “in this context”. In what context is it necessary to think of the scope and power of learning in lesser terms? https://g.co/gemini/share/ebdf9270cc39
P3 – Your error (“in this context”) reveals a bias in you that reflects the same bias in humanity at large which is to think whatever they are thinking and saying is not itself another indicator of the universality of learning. This leads to what we have discussed as the misorienting if not maladapting effects of attributing to other causes effects that were caused by learning. By not keeping learning’s more expansive definition in mind, rather by considering learning a background utility, we mis-attribute the effects of learning in a way that blinds us to learning which diminishes our potential for agency hope. You and everyone constantly uses language that describes the effects of learning in a way that hide learnings role. https://g.co/gemini/share/b1e5313ace01
Part 2: Learned Learning Disabilities
P4 – Learning something that maladaptively misdirects our learning thereafter, like using words for learning that hide learning, is learning disabling. Becoming unable to learn in a domain might be because of innate learning disabilities but it can also be because we learned misattributions that operate unconsciously to redirect our access away from learning in their domains. In other words humans can learn to become learning disabled in areas of learning. https://g.co/gemini/share/617873425003
P5 – Which title / name do you think will get more traction in social media: “acquired learning disabilities” or “learned learning disabilities”? https://g.co/gemini/share/d4a918bf7cb3
P6 – There are many kinds of learned learning disabilities. The largest being recurring mistakes in attributions that misdirect learning away from that which they misrepresent. For example saying you “thought through”, “came to believe” or “finally understood” are descriptions of learning that reduce or remove agency as if the changes just happen as a phenomena independent of our learning. https://g.co/gemini/share/7c39f9e288bd
P7 – But here, even in your last response: “I actively engaged with the problem and developed a solution” https://g.co/gemini/share/64ba384ca5a8
Part 3: Future Prompts for Defining Learning
P8 – Write a description of our conversations in words arranged just for you and with instructions that I or anyone can use to prompt you to minding future conversation through our comprehensive shared agreement about learning. https://g.co/gemini/share/a167e1f09c72
