I wrote something similar too a few thousand mails ago :-) Meanwhile I
have read something that made me think (unfortunately I cannot remember
where it was):
Not 'learning' is the phenomenon that requires explanation but 'not
learning'.
It took a while until I realized the switch. Learning is so natural, every
little baby learns: communicate, process information - how could this be
done without learning? Yet, take an honest look around. I now tend to
agree that there is indeed a very strange phenomenon, the phenomenon that
despite all the communication and information processing learning does not
take place.

mistake, I wonder. A mystery, isn't it? "To make a mistake and not change

Bateson is said that he was looking for "the difference that makes a
difference". Now the strange thing seems to be that there are differences
that make no difference. How is this possible?
Liebe Gruesse,
