Humility is necessary for learning (i.e. you have to already persuaded that there is something for you to learn), but too often unconferences are held up as an ethical good because of the humility that they presuppose, as if to suggest that regular conferences are purely populated by arrogant weenies, or that being an arrogant weenie is the only reason you'd want to go to one. The truth is that arrogant weenies are everywhere, and we all inhabit that role from time to time, regardless of the sorts of conferences we frequent.Nataliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01954034499196842959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5967476903991259470.post-20226414775792553842012-02-01T10:37:52.995-05:002012-02-01T10:37:52.995-05:00I'd sign up for poetry camp, but then again I ...I'd sign up for poetry camp, but then again I like poetry and I could use some help camping. <br /><br /> I like your part about claiming the ignorance. It takes some good humility to know that one does not know.Shockgrubzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00268844926880083612noreply@blogger.com
