• When people learn, they first need to notice that they “don’t know yet.

    • In learning with textbooks, you may see “learning” as the act of taking something outside of yourself that you need to learn and incorporating it into yourself, because the textbooks contain a lot of “things you don’t know yet”.
    • Referring to this, Nishio expresses that “in order to learn, we must first become aware of our blind spots.
  • You don’t see it, but you don’t know you don’t see it. That is the blind spot. image

  • Between the “obviously know” area and the “obviously don’t know” area lies the “don’t know what you don’t know.” image
