Teach something.
We don’t truly see our assumptions until we try to teach something.
The moment we explain an idea, we realize where we fill in gaps without questioning them or have oversimplified an understanding. What seemed obvious to us may not be obvious to others — that tension exposes what we’ve assumed to be true.
Teaching forces clarity, revealing whether we possess knowledge in the form of a collection of unexamined beliefs or an extension of genuine understanding. The best way to challenge our thinking and our assumptions isn’t just to learn — it’s to teach.
