Intuition – is that gut feeling we don’t exactly know, but we know it works.
Learning turns that Intuition feeling into Knowledge by knowing why and how it works.
Practicing Knowledge turns into Wisdom by discovering when Knowledge works and when it doesn’t.
The WisdomLab is where this development and growth happens.

A Human Hearing Problem

This gadget takes a different look inside the human brain at the unconscious associative processes in the making of any meaning; how only what is already known is used to understand anything new.

How this process makes the human brain unable to “hear” or “listen” accurately to anyone else unless some commonality already exists or until the individuals make an effort to find sufficient commonality for their purposes.

The consequences are far reaching beyond relationships to to communication, performance, culture, and conflict.
