I was never a good student. In some subjects I didn’t care. But in others, I wanted to care, but just couldn’t.
History was one of those. But what if history hadn’t been taught as broad brush strokes of time, but through the lens of individuals?
There’s a podcast called “Behind the bastards” that tells the stories of horrible people from history. And if we had learned history through the lens of villains and other characters, rather than as a list of dates, I would have been so much more interested.
Teach things through stories of the facts, not by trying to communicate the facts from 10,000 feet.
The relevance here should be pretty obvious.

“Our Age of Anxiety is, in great part, the result of trying to do today’s jobs with yesterday’s tools!” ― Marshall McLuhan
I think you could also say the opposite is true. a great part of the anxiety is trying to do the same jobs as we’ve always done, but with a constantly updating set of new tools.
The core things we need don’t change. But how we go about getting them is on constant flux.

Came across this while searching for a PDF of Brian Eno’s Oblique Strategies (ended up finding it, which you can too right here) and am looking forward to reading.
