Alot of what is learned is not truth anyway. As a seeker of truth, one needs to challenge all assumptions. When one does this, they will uncover "hidden" fears that kept that untruth a truth. It is imperative that you self diagnose daily to see what one must unlearn. This can only be done by going inside. And by going inside I am not talking about a religious experience but a spiritual experience. As a Responsiblist, I must see how I can have a better impact on the world. Good article.

Virtually every people on this planet needs unlearning, of course to different extents. The same may also benefit to entire civilisations... :? How could it be possible to periodically unclog our minds? Maybe there are opportunities for future promising businesses. Very nice article.

The unlearning process is important, it is difficult to unwind or undo the scripts written on the hard disk called "mind". This has much to do with the source material around that grooms the persona. The vacuum cleaner had "born defects" not due to design but due to use of inefficient flow sheet and quality control. Same holds good during "growing up process" in life. Ability to undo makes great leader. thnks Nicely written article.

How difficult it is to distance oneself from the subjective baggage ALL of us carry and look at things in a new, childlike, "unlearned" manner, like a blackboard wiped clean for a new teacher to begin her discourse.

Nice mental imagery there. How difficult it is to distance oneself from the subjective baggage ALL of us carry and look at things in a new, childlike, “unlearned” manner, like a blackboard wiped clean for a new teacher to begin her discourse.

Your image of the vacuum cleaner really put in perspective a lot of the abstract concepts surrounding innovation that I've been researching lately. Great writing and I'm definitely going to apply your daily "pick up at least one thing in your life and do it in a different way from the usual" suggestion. Thanks again! Thanks for your post.
