With time for just a quick virgin mojito… it happens to me too!

I can with certainty say that the poetic quality you impart to the experience is something I can attain but nonetheless, loosing myself in “learning something new”, the high of finally “getting it”, the despair of purposeless knowledge… I’ve been there way too many times!

I greatly appreciate the insight of transformation!! I’ve been vaguely aware of this concept in education, being described as “making knowledge your own” and whatnot, but the idea of a filter, of transforming knowledge enough until it actually become part of the transformer, I love that!! Wonder how my sporadic teaching would look with that idea on mind!

Nowadays I don’t despair that much regarding my learning activities not having a visible/concrete output. The ability of the mind to make connections between things that seem completely unrelated keeps surprising me and sort of keeping my back cover on that side.

For now, and please bartender, could you hand me a mold wine to go… what’s so depraved from the benign vice of learning? It’s one in which neither others are not being hurt nor (hopefully) self either.

Thanks Benj for the enthusiasm...I am having fun too :D.

And yeah, gee, "depraved" would be overkill wouldn't it? I guess I was being my usual overly-dramatic self. Still, I like integrating into my edit-compile-debug loop the important question "to what end is this?" It does get me to reach a little deeper for conclusions.

A mold wine, what is that? One for me, barkeep!
