Learning to learn, and why education must change. In this episode of Extreme Perspectives we are speaking with misfit and the winner of the World Creative Thinking Championship, Gerard Darby. We explore the importance of ambiguity, education, theatre and how dyslexia needs to be reframed as a different way of thinking. We find needles in haystacks with Einstein, take the advice, “don’t try” from Charles Bukowski, discuss the merits of Hyper Island and the brilliance of the charity, The Ministry of Stories.
