Show Notes

Would the negatives of teacher dependency and substandard knowledge be countered by the increased motivation of having awesome teachers who know how to teach you more directly?In Episode #293 of 'Meanderings' Juan and I discuss: a nice quote from Marcel Proust, the hypothetical of only having 1 teacher throughout your schooling career, what we would consider useful knowledge, Juan's obsession with certain online games and why I might need to think about presenting my status in life.As always, we hope you enjoy.
