I liked the article and the term thinkism (which I hadn’t heard before). I think education should be radically changed to be about doism instead. I think it’s likely we have more engaged kids learning more valuable life skills.


I agree that doism should done more in all honesty

Cuz in real life also its more about "doing" you're physically fixing a clock, or writing code, or designing a building

Doism shouldn't be 100% but it certainly should be more


I think it was Hamming who said that some of the best researchers can only think well when they have a bench full of equipment in front of them.


Reminds me of https://xkcd.com/927/ - and to avoid confusions: everybody has good intentions and think they know better.

We definitely should try to improve and experiment with any system, including education, but I really doubt it is that easy to improve education and it will depend on objective, culture and political environment more than doing A or B.
