So far as I can tell, people who think they know stuff are wrong. And worse, they think they can stop learning. People who think they've got it figured out usually stop growing at that point, or trap themselves within a narrow range of positions.

Learning is in motion, knowledge is dead.

It's a good stance, It's a daoist flow

I also want to build a pedagogy wiki, maybe I will use this bit if you allow

One thing that I usually add to this line of thought is that avoid overcomplicating things, and also appreciate more life than theory in my experience is useful when you feel burdened by words. Not an antiintellectual stance but a more grounded one.

Looks like I did not reply to this yet. Yes you would be welcome to use that bit.

I think that some people benefit from making things complicated and some don't - specicially some are able to do it while still being grounded and willing to go out and act. Others may get lost in ways that make them immobile if they focus too much on enjoying theory. It's probably something that depends on the person.
