    I like that your post actually aligns with the literature on education. In particular, it aligns with the work of John Hattie. He says that, roughly, the progression in learning is:

    • Know that
    • Know how
    • Know with

    He’s quick to point out that learning doesn’t follow this path rigidly. Instead, it’s more staccato. But, still, understanding the progression is useful.

    I guess a modified post would be something like:

    A lot of people know what ideas to think. Much fewer know how to think ideas. Even less know how to think with their ideas.
