“At a certain point in one’s development, the dualistic concept of one teacher and one student must fade away. In its stead will be the infinitely more organic idea of an autodidact: one that absorbs knowledge from all angles, from all venues, regardless of how society judges these sources of wisdom. Instead of one teacher, now there is an infinity of them. And isn’t this what that first, singular teacher was pointing us towards anyways?”

Haven’t you heard Michael Scott extolling the virtues of Wikipedia’s ultra reliability? LOL

One of my goals as a teacher was not to provide the answers, but to inspire my students to ask great and glorious questions.
Those incapable of absorbing lessons from the world around them… despite ‘who’re examples are… are doomed to the role of honorable sacrifice. 😏
Well put! And I wonder what those individuals would say about their fate at the moment of sacrifice. Hopefully their ignorance would continue through to their last moment, so that they didn’t feel the horror of a wasted life. Not sure if that would be a good or bad thing actually
