The adult has ‘learned’ to distinguish the world into good and bad; and feels masterful in this. Yet the child, who is not without such powers, wields them in such a fashion that the results, in terms of learning, are so different as to belong to a different species. A child can learn in a day what an adult might take years to accomplish… not necessarily in terms of quantity… but in terms of perspectival development… and that’s really the basis of intelligence… not quantity… in fact, quantity is really only valuable in direct proportion to perspectival skill, which is the only way to make use of it — and is rather difficult to simulate in machines.
