Description

I teach health and exercise in college. I love teaching and every aspect of the learning process. I am a student for life, and a student of life. *** I am absolutely overjoyed with the human capacity of discovery and the human potential that is thereby made possible. I see the world with the freshness and exuberance of a child (a world without limits - BECAUSE curious, joy-seeking humans inhabit it). *** I liken philosophy to learning a skill or trade; the most important skill or trade possible. I believe that discovering the proper use of a human mind is literal emancipation (the "bottle-neck"; beyond which "truth, goodness, beauty, virtue, wisdom, and love" begin to flow like Niagra Falls). *** I have a blog at: http://www.ed-ucator.blogspot.com

The disconnects between ordinary folks and academe have terrible consequences for how people think, how they handle personal, community, or world affairs, and how they address problems of human life in every possible area. It’s just a mess. Yet once again the forums throughout the media hardly focus on any of it, but instead carry on as if no such disconnect existed. (Read more...)
