For more than 25 years, i was occasionally upset about not haven gone through specific types of formal education to acquire specialised knowledge. Today, i acknowledge this perceived "lack of patterning of thought" as an advantage - as "not knowing" creates space for silence, intuition, care and play. A beginners mind is much harder to attain and maintain than any secret expertise, arcane knowledge. Living processes - not dead artefacts - line the path to equanimity.

The importance of stupidity in scientific research:
http://jcs.biologists.org/content/121/11/1771 #Science #Culture #Creativity"Productive stupidity means being ignorant by choice. Focusing on important questions puts us in the awkward position of being ignorant. The more comfortable we become with being stupid, the deeper we will wade into the unknown and the more likely we are to make big discoveries"
