how would we communicate today if audio recording mechanisms could have been invented before writing?to which extent does the way we label disciplines (compartmentalize knowledge) influence how we learn and think?what are ways of teaching systemic thinking in scale?what would change on how we learn math if we really considered it as a language, just like english or spanish?is there a way of equating mental models and thus translating information from one model to other?is there enough evidence to say that complex symbolic systems were responsible for more complex societal arrangements?what still has to be developed for AI to be successfully used in combining specialized knowledge into a broader system?are we living through a new kind of ‘knowledge work fordism’ by creating frameworks and protocols for everything? how can we apply principles from swarm intelligence to better design human systems?
