Why?

This is a blog about learning.

So the first question to ask is, what is learning? There are so many definitions, but I prefer a simple one. Learning is acquiring a new skill, hopefully something useful. That's why this blog is titled Tasting Funny. I am sure as you read the title the old joke comes to mind:

Q: Why don't cannibals eat clowns?
A: Because they taste funny.

It's a truly awful joke. But the fact of the matter is that don't know of one person that I have ever asked that question who doesn't know the answer. It's the perfect example of learning. No one can trace back to when they learned it, and yet it comes to mind almost immediately. Even if you haven't thought about it in decades it's right there front and center, almost without effort.

And that's why we are here. To "learn" to design and facilitate these experiences.
