Here’s a philosophy development map GD and I wrote out leading up to our first ever practical wisdom Wednesday class. We were so nervous that we wanted to write a syllabus out to make sure we had something to revert back to if / when our brains froze up.

Really interesting to reread it now after having taught and learnt so much more since then 😊🤙🏼

Contradiction – see how blindness muddy’s the clear intention thinking speaking action etc. and scatters the consciousnesses
Assumption – Why did we stop asking why?
