<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 3234922, member: 71723&quot;]Yeah we do. The best stuff I learn about coins has no URL link; it&#039;s verbal and part of Q&amp;A &quot;give and take&quot; at ANA show talks.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, MOST attendees at ANA talks just sit there with their teeth in their mouth and refuse to engage. Everyone at the ANA now knows that’s not my shtick. I will sit through a 40 minute talk and then challenge the speaker’s whole premise. It’s almost tautological. And I care not one whit how many books a speaker wrote.</p><p><br /></p><p>For the educators and academics here, I am DEEPLY committed to the Socratic method. It is the recent decline of Socratic pedagogy that is my primary critique of current education. You can&#039;t tolerate having assumptions challenged if what you&#039;re up to is indoctrination, after all.</p><p><br /></p><p>I find that nearly NO talk presenters are prepared for a Socratic challenge. Too bad for them if I&#039;m in the audience.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
