“The education system is so geared toward fact drilling and rote memorization that students often exit with a head full of dates and formulas, but without the ability to constructively think.  Now, if we readjusted the testing and educational system to focus on critical reasoning rather than memorization, then even if we knew fewer facts off the top of our heads — we would be smarter overall.  We would take a step toward doubt – and a step toward thinking for ourselves.”
I bet teachers just LOVE when this guy raises his hand.

But the problem is, we’ve no system for really measuring “critical reasoning.” Everything boils down to facts anyway. Imagine someone ridiculously smart/good at critical thinking, like Sherlock Holmes. Why is he so good? He knows facts. Granted, he pays a lot of extra attention to detail as well, but it’s just as important that he has the catalog of information in his mind to actually make the connections, and he remembers the little tidbits that end up being meaningful.

I could be that guy…

I’m really glad Mike and I didn’t initially have the same music taste all. He’s definitely shown me a lot more interesting things than I could find on my own or that my friends could have shown me.

*girlSame music taste; different backgrounds: “Have you heard this before?” “No, but it’s fucking great.” “I know!”

These are fantastic digital manipulations by Dutch artist, Koen Hauser. As part of the series, Modische Atlas der Anatomie, Hauser takes a female subject, photographs her body in certain frozen poses, and then digitally adds/removes her skin to reveal organs and internal body structures.
