I started to think about my activities as investments instead of a means to an end, and my approach changed. I started to ask myself, “what can I learn from this activity, even if the outcome is not what I expect?”.

Rumsfeld had intelligence, wit, dash, and endless faith in himself. Unlike McNamara, he never expressed a quiver of regret. He must have died in the secure knowledge that he had been right all along.
I’ve never forgot those days as long as I live, and how hard many of us vehemently opposed what was going on, both verbally and in the streets.

Honestly, even just being thoughtful about when I’m doing something for the sake of doing it has been nice. I walk a little slower when I’m just going for a walk, I’m a bit less focused on finishing games, and I’ve been getting better at enjoying the parts of my job that I really enjoy – in the afternoons, once I’ve checked off the thing that really needs doing.
It’s amazing.
For me, I’ve found that after losing a spouse or, at a smaller but still very impactful scale, experiencing the past year of COVID, wildfires, record-breaking deadly heat, and a medical scare, I’m so much more appreciative of little atelic activities and just being present.

But obviously, while desirable it’s not practical for each child to have an adult giving them feedback on everything they do until they understand it. The world just doesn’t (and probably will never have) a 1:1 student to teacher ratio. This was a problem Piaget and Papert simply couldn’t surmount.
But in the early 1960s, a new technology was emerging, one that Papert realized could remove his roadblock – the computer.
Computers did not tire, they did not lose patience.
