This blog is dedicated to sharing the concept that our hands are essential to learning- that we engage the world and its wonders, sensing and creating primarily through the agency of our hands. We abandon our children to education in boredom and intellectual escapism by failing to engage their hands in learning and making.

It followed another brief article about how physicians are becoming less sensitive and intuitive because they have become more reliant on expensive technology and are losing their hands-on diagnostic capabilities. The Fading Art of the Physical Exam. If indeed we are becoming a nation of insensitive idiots, it will be because we have neglected the wisdom of our hands.
