Replying to @Meaningness
Reminds me of a piece from Our Own Metaphor, about "the people who can learn from books—those given to testing generalizations against examples they themselves construct and thus experiencing their truth at a deeper level instead of accepting it on authority"pic.twitter.com/EN3vnqNsna

Replying to @Malcolm_Ocean
