standing on the shoulders of giants

more on this later...
but a lot of how we learn in western schools is by starting you off with the terminology or language commonly associated with a subject. you know, same way a dictionary is structured: word, then definition.
but the way the subject was learned was by experience, a reoccurence of patterns. something had to happen to make someone pause, and say, "hey what's that called... i definately should remember this"...
i definately don't feel like we should get caught up in language and terminology before we know what something is for ourselves. experience first, name things after. use the name to communicate / and keep a nickname too, for yourself to remember / pronounce how you like
