Knowledge, Learning, Community
The ridiculous charade that is the 'discussion' at the Britannica blog continues with the announcement that "Human beings learn, essentially, in only two ways. They learn from experience-the oldest and earliest type of learning-and they learn from people who know more than they do." One wonders why the second is not merely an instance of the first, but I suspect logic isn't Andrew Keen's strong suit. As for the 'discussion', my experience with the forum is that they simply delete the comments that don't align with the party line. At least, they delete mine.
