TIME TO LEARN Any learning involves risk; if you already knew how to do it safely, you wouldn’t be learning. The greater the rate of learning the greater the degree of risk. Then how fast should one learn? That question can’t be answered just yet—but there’s another question that can be answered. “‘What’s the lowest rate of learning that can be accepted?” The answer to that’s easy. “‘At least fast enough to stay alive.” Perhaps in the social-psychological fields, it’s time to start learning in a frantic hurry. The risk of not learning is beginning to exceed the risk of learning.
