“another approach I found interesting is the one proposed by Philip Zimbardo neatly presented in this video”
4 Hacker News comments link this video. Each one links back to its thread.
Instead of the linear, multi-active and cyclic times paradigm, another approach I found interesting is the one proposed by Philip Zimbardo neatly presented in this video: ▶ this video It presents individuals as being either past, present or future oriented. Apparently, the closer we are to the equator the more present-oriented we tend to be (because there are less seasonal changes).

The most worrying thing, is how the heck can kids raised on new media, Apps and books that talk, ever hope to even tolerate sitting in a classroom enjoying a traditional education? I dread to think of the overhaul that is needed and coming to education.
