Comment on Life is the name of learning.

Thanks for bringing me here. This is my expertise. Now when looking at life, you use the two data points that are birth and death, you have a straight line.

This is what I would call, “The cradle to the grave line.” As soon as you add data points that are in between, you no longer have a line. A line is the shortest distance between 2 points.

Glad to have cleared that up.

  Not really. It just reframes the metaphor core idea still stands.

Appreciate the perspective. My point was exactly that life only looks like a straight line if you reduce it to just birth and death. The moment you acknowledge real experiences in between, complexity appears. Glad we’re actually agreeing from different angles.
