Quote by Claude Bernard

It is what we know already that often prevents us from learning.

It is what we know already that often prevents us from learn

Summary

This quote suggests that our existing knowledge or beliefs can sometimes hinder our ability to acquire new learnings or perspectives. When we have preconceived notions or assume that we already possess all the necessary knowledge and understanding, we may become closed-minded and resistant to new information. In order to truly learn and grow, we must remain open to challenging our existing knowledge and remaining receptive to new ideas and experiences. By letting go of what we already think we know, we create room for expanded learning and personal growth.

The other major issue you have no doubt heard about the decision to build a fence between Israel and the palestinians. There is no doubt in my mind that a fence will be built, political pressure are too heavy to resist. There is also no doubt that it will be ineffectual. Every day thousands of Palestinians enter Israel illegally. The vast majority seek work. The tide of humanity will overwhelm the fence and its guardians. Terrorists will follow in their path.
