The Power of Imaginative Mind: Sir Kenneth Robinson

Because you are a reader here you will love this video by Edutopia: Excellent video comments by Sir Kenneth Robinson on remarks earlier discussed here by Taleb in The Black Swan: He addresses the necessary revolution in education, and suggests change in old, outdated education grid based upon linear assumptions... a hierarchy of subjects in our school systems and, dare I say it, our medical education as well.

The Black Swan Flies: Call the Black Swan, Be Ready

Taleb connects interesting observations from statistical analysis in economics to epidemiology and medical evolution... on the subject of acceptance - acceptance of real evidence, beyond statistical analysis.
