unlearning what is learned

learning

"as Lao Tzu said, to gain knowledge, add things everyday. to gain wisdom, remove things everyday. this is so true, our brain is like a computer and in order for it to function at a higher level, we must always be adding, while simultaneously taking away information that no longer serves us. think about it, what do you want to remove from your database? and, what new software program will you replace it with?"
