In "The Tipping Point" I was reminded of the rule of one hundred and fifty. When the distance between each person with a certain skill is reduced there is a closer and more interlinking relationship between skills and understanding in a much broader and more accessible way. Hierarchy was a word we discussed and how it fits into the problem David saw in the recording of knowledge and experience. The word came from the Greek hierarkhia relating to the religious order from high priest downwards. This hierarchy seemed to cause the reliance on assumption and obedience without the encouragement to question or rationalise.
I am glad I decided to sit outside to wait to pay my materials fee, I left 90 pounds lighter but with a little bit more information and and a slightly broader perspective on the way we learn and think.
"Childhood is known as the leaving age, teenage hood is known as the knowing age and maturity is known as the hoping age" - David from the bench outside the Tower building.
