wolven7 | Teaching Questions

Tori Amos - [Scarlet's Walk]--- I've been asking myself this question, all day: "If someone were to ask you to teach a class in your specialty, what would they be asking you to teach?"

I don't have a suitable one- or two-word answer, and, honestly, I resent myself for thinking I need one. Practice and Meta-theory of Conceptual Interpenetration, maybe? (Tori Amos - [Virginia]). That would be the practical application of the theories about the theories of the ways in which concepts are all mutually interconnected, mutually sustaining, and mutually generating. Lessons include finding and elucidating the areas of fruitful conceptual overlap between seemingly disparate systems of thought and/or behaviour.

Tori Amos - [Gold Dust]--- Or some shit like that.

I'm asking myself what it is that I do, what it is that motivates me to talk about teaching, to talk about learning, to get so fucking angry when people don't understand the most basic and simple connections between action and consequence, between thought and deed, between experience and conception. If I were asked to teach a class about the one thing I'm good at, and the one thing i think everyone in the world ought to at least See, Once, it would be that. It's the toolbox I have, but can I use it to repair itself, to make itself more useful, or should the use of the thing be seen in the using of it?

And if that were the case, why aren't we all priests, biologists, magicians, IT professionals, quantum physicists, chemists, mathematicians, philosophers, students of religion, and every other damn thing?

Deadsy - [Cruella]--- I lost the thread of this, but answer the fucking question.
