The wisdom of unlearning (chapters 47-48)
About this episode
Episode 33 looks at chapters 47 and 48, which give two us two different but intimately connected themes: (1) internal wisdom and (2) deconstruction/unlearning.
I open by talking about so many different ways in which I've had to learn to deconstruct and unlearn when it comes to my own life, goals, and even personality. The rest of the content is divided into two main parts:
- Chapter 47 - The importance of internal wisdom and reflection in a world of overwhelming external input
- Chapter 48 - The neglected importance of deconstruction, or "unlearning", for learning and growing in wisdom
- Bad habits, first impressions, and personal narratives
- Cultural and theological narratives
