When I was a senior in High School I wandered into the GREAT BOOKS class of one Ms Raissa Landor at New Trier High School. Over the course of that year we read Nietszche, Gibbon, The book of Job, Viktor Frankl, Rousseau and Kant, Plato and many, many others. And guess what? No papers. You were graded on how you LEAD the discussion and the points you made and how vigorously and articulately you defended your theses. As a teacher, she only asked questions, she never gave answers. Questions. Life’s biggest questions. Questions posed from the dawn of man when shaman/priests/actor/storyteller/madmen created our myths, through to the Greeks, the Romans, the legends of humanity’s myriad indigenous tribes, the cafes of the enlightenment through to college campuses in dorm rooms at midnight. This methodology blew my pimply mind. The connect-the-dots between all the eternal themes of philosophy, literature and spirituality. Love. The soul. Death. Morality. God. Will. Self and consciousness. Perception. The ideas fostered in that classroom would percolate in my mind up until this present day. There would have been no @SoulPancake without her. And, guess what? We got to visit again where I interviewed her for a new podcast (METAPHYSICAL MILKSHAKE coming in Sept on @HearLuminary Media with @RezaAslan). She is as sharp and vivacious in her late 70s as she was 30 years ago. And she still reads NON-STOP! Thank you, Ms Landor for showing hundreds and hundreds of young minds the way forward through the greatest sets of ideas the human mind has ever birthed. Thank you for being my teacher. And my friend.」8月21日 2時37分
