Wow
I find the idea of the butterfly effect to be both incredible and terrifying. It’s a fascinating idea that I think is rooted in fact since all choices and actions have reactions. And while the idea that a butterfly can affect the weather is a little bit farfetched, it is perfectly realistic to think that something I do today could not only affect me, but other people around me potentially for days or months or even years; Hence why I also find the idea terrifying as well as fascinating.
Wonder
I really do wonder how much our learning environments affect how we learn as we get older. If I were to learn one way all my life (eg. in a classroom) and then later decide to learn on my own terms, without a teacher, I would be beyond lost. And yet people must have learned things like math or writing largely by themselves in the beginning. Would it make it easier for our minds to do things like learning languages if we were more accustomed to teaching ourselves and have teachers and professors be more of a guide, like the way online learning is now?
