You just never know what you are going to learn, or when you are going to learn it- or so I find. Funny thing- i love this movie, called American Dreamer- and I've been watching it for years, since I own it- and in the movie they talk about Fanagalo. I hadn't seen Fanagalo mentioned in anything until just last year, reading those wonderful Botswana books. And I've READ books that involved mining in South Africa, they just never saw fit to mention Fanagalo. Anyway, it got me to thinking about how much ideas cross pollinate, and how we learn something one place, and forget about it, and then see it somewhere else and remember (or don't)- but really, it all seems to me to be related. That which we can learn, is at least all related in that we can learn it- and whatever connections you make, are fascinating. When I teach I try to connect history, science, math and English, art, music- etc- because the more I teach, the more they seem to be all the same thing- descriptions. That's what our thinking is, as we grow, a description of where we've been, where we are, and where we think we are going- and it changes every second- or in whatever time quarks live in- for Cos, who lives and believes at the quantum level, or thereabouts.
