"some argue most modern adults never reach this level of growth" no one learns how to think in universities (anymore?) except accidentally thats probably fine thats not what universities are forhttps://twitter.com/RavenclawSoc23/status/1175803931420762112 …

People who are Educated--I don't quite like this word but let's use it for now--are not well-socialized. They can get by, maybe they can even charm and delight with prestidigital erudition, but ultimately they end up apart from other men of their times.

A well-socialized person fits well in their society, knows its norms implicitly, swims in them. If you're educated, as I use the term here . . . your mind is elsewhere. Maybe it's in 15C Milan, or picking apart abstract math, or dissecting the accent of anyone nattering at you

But an end of Education should be a certain standing apart from the time and the moment Other people don't like this when they see it. TBBT is How They See It And even having the general case in mind when everyone around you fixates, badly, on the specific is deeply alienating

In this sense, scholars of the type I have in mind are like saints People may admire them from afar or venerate them after death But they're not men of this world, they're become outsiders, or something More than others, and most people don't much like that in practice

saints and philosophers are incredibly dangerous and you should be shocked if hierarchy-bound seminaries or universities produced them with regularity

was going to complain about first tweet but actually for me education was education because I didn't do socialization so with the details I agree
