Hi, Sam--Sharing this on my Facebook page. I've also been enjoying your chat with Paul Holdengraber. It's got me listening to David Rintoul's audiobook version of 'The Magic Mountain' -- for the third time. Many thanks!
Hi Sam, Thanks for this--I read Susan Cain's book and am interested to read her article. FWIW, I've found a home on Bluesky---something that's cool there is that people are creating "starter packs" so one can quickly find of individuals of interest. For example, David M. Perry created one for medievalists. Different atmosphere there than Twitter, for sure!
The occupation of the perennialist educator is “pearl diving” which is my favourite activity especially if you find something salty. New Testament scholars involved in the ‘Jesus Project” attempted to explore what they could agree upon as the most authentic sayings of the historical Jesus. What they could agree upon was only the possibility of the passages mentioning salt. This might be upsetting or outrageous for some but it points to the hermeneutical tensions involved with questions of truth and authenticity.
Boundaries are difficult especially when you have invested a lifetime with particular images of who you are or beliefs that are core to how you want your world to be.
Utopian but antisemite Charles Fourier (1772-1837) said,
“Liberate every human being through education and by liberating human passion.”
Our personal contradictions are so legion the question is “What is truth?”
What I do know is when someone is kind and loving.

Interesting! Good to know. I might check it out. I’m really enjoying the Substack space on Notes right now.
Original sin or mass formation psychosis?
