“Lend ears” is a phrase often inserted in medieval texts. Reading was an activity almost always carried out aloud, a kind of performance. Because few were literate. Because in the age of scrolls, before books, one had to commit to memory what he read. (In scrolls, there were no page divisions, thus no table of content or index. It would have been difficult to find specific information, or section, again.)
Today, we read in silence, detached from the world. What does it mean to learn, and to know, when search engines and generative AI can answer any question in an instant? It is time for us to reevaluate why, how, and what we learn, and who we communicate the knowledge with, and what we do with what we know. In this presentation, we will explore some of the Ancient Greek philosophers, Medieval mnemonics, Bushido (the Way of the Samurai), and neuroscience to understand why joy, memorization and musicality are essential to our learning, and to our humanity.
