Words of Hebbian learners vary from setting to setting when asked to change or improve. Yet their responses seem strikingly similar to … 
I can’t … I won’t… others won’t support me… it won’t work … later maybe … there are no resources … it has yet to be proven … it’s not yet known well enough … it’s too much trouble … others won’t get it … we do it differently here … there’s no time … why bother … it’s too hard … risks are not rewarded here … I’m going to retire soon … I already have tenure … I might not get tenure if I do it … I already do all that stuff … others don’t do it – why should I?
What words have you heard lately from Hebbian hobos? What words will propel you toward a greater vision for today?
Ugh - don't those words make you want to scream!
(How about "if it ain't broke don't fix it"?)
