Nov. 10th, 2005 10:18 pmwikipedia: Conventional wisdom is a term coined by the economist John Kenneth Galbraith, used to describe certain ideas or explanations that are generally accepted as true by the public.
The expression "Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime" is a conventional wisdom that doesn't make much sense in the modern economy. It assumes that what you learn does not become obsolete over your lifetime. It would be interesting to play with it during the next session using the STC operator, just to evaluate the vector of the participant's psychological inertia.
