This week I've attended two flash seminars, on the purpose of the university. The Big Questions come up repeatedly: what am I here on this planet to do? How can I learn what I need in order to do it? Who can help me? What is knowledge; what is information? What are schools good at and what could they be better at? What happens in reality - when real people run large social organizations, like schools, institutions, and governments - and what happens when those people are disconnected from themselves and impose restrictions on others?
I'm exploring all this in a new book idea...so stay tuned. And in the meantime, this is the best 15min I've spent recently.
