Kay/Bruner: Doing with Images makes Symbols

Ref: Alan Kay (timestmp)
Ref: Bruner (Wikipedia) (sys.edu: Education Theorist)

Logic as a fragile inference system, dependent more on the strength of the context it resides within. Focus on getting the contexts right:

"It's not logic that is powerful...logic is actually a weak method because it depends on fragile chains of inference. And people have used logic throughout history, but mostly in inappropriate contexts.

There is nothing illogical about the way the alchemists or the babylonians did things, it's that they were in a context in which their logic couldn't do much"

"This notion that the context is powerful - and if you want to be good at solving problems and acting much smarter than you are then you have to find a context that is going to do most of the thinking for you." - Alan Kay
