Patrik Kjærsdam Telléus―Windmills of Your Mind

Abstract

Learning is the annexation of something alien. When we learn something―whatever it is―it first appears strange, and remote, and foreign, and then we acquire, we conquer, we inhabit, we colonize, we master, we domesticate, we take and we own. The unfamiliar becomes familiar, and what was not ours, come to be ours. That which was unknown is now known by our exploration, our embrace, our capture, our consumption, our… annexation.
