Thanks for subscribing Lorne. You’ll see a bit of both. Having been the author of The Art of Explanation (2012) I’ve thought a lot about the “art.” This project represents a pivot into the mind and is more focused not on the explainer, but the audience and what makes it into memory and why. How one uses that information requires creativity and a degree of art.
I’m intrigued.
Particularly when you recite
A long telephone number
Only to find the receiver
Has a poor memory,
Or no pen and paper.
:
Explanations need a receiver
A listener, if you like.
They also need testing
(How many times have you
Read instructions without them
Having been tested).
:
Are we here to uncover
The Art of Explanation?
Or simply to find out
How the brain works and
How we understand things?

Funny! I had no idea you had written a book by the same name!
This is needed. Thanks, looking forward to the series.
Thanks, Bill. The more I learn about this stuff the more I think it’s needed too.
