Hugh Greenway contemplates resistance to change and learning in his post “You can lead a horse to water…”
“I can’t learn a foreign language” or “I don’t do technology” generally means, “I’ve had a bad experience trying to learn”. Of course this is often masked by the standard excuses, “I don’thave time”, “How are we going to make money out of it?” etc.
He links change with an openness to learning, and learning with an acceptance of occasional failure.
Or to put it another way, if education and learning are not central to your environment then you are likely very risk-adverse, and there will be little or no change – change for better, or change for worse.
