Functions of a Tool

Once you are well versed in the functions of a particular Tool. That is to say; you comprehend the limitations and the opportunities of that Tool - Your thoughts are no longer shaped by that Tool. You are the catalyst (or "Tool" for those of you with that sense of humour) who shapes your thoughts (ideas etc). You are the conductor; the Tool is one of many instruments.

Understand Context

Observe and investigate the environment and history of a place in intimate detail. Whilst this method demands time it yields an informed response from you by default. This method culminates opportunities for constructive resolve and reason. Avoid quixotic investigation - whilst recording your (subjective) perception of place is important, the fundamental logistics should be driving objective observation. Search for novelties - perhaps there are those that can provide feedback and direction through experience. Remember to test the connections. Exploring the core of your posed question(s) should be a theoretical and physical practice in unison.

Education

In an exhaustive attempt to avoid gross simplification; education should be available to all. The fundamental intent of any School is to provide access to tested, proven and objective tools which the human collective have discovered and developed thus far. Following exposure to what we already know, each individual should be encouraged/taught/inspired to *think* (emphasis on original thought), ask the right questions and utilise methodologies to draw upon logic and rational enquiry. Naturally deter bias and not just recite information (we have devices for that). Rather, aim to identify the connections and significance of the data. It is also apparent that we cannot simply rely on a/one faculty to teach us and our children everything. We are limited by time and capacity, so focus on useful lessons, what is important to you and explore.
