I do not want to be one of those who talks about what he is going to do only to never do it or only do it half-ass for a bit until I get bored.

The world of education–both compulsory (K-12) and higher (BA-PhD) has become twisted out of shape. I think that youth (15 to 25) need someone providing a view that is informed by our instructional system but eschews the authority of that same system.

Toward doing something, I will start talking. Yes, my answer of doing is talking. I will set out on some video-logs and narrated power points with notions that youth should hear before they are too old to make use of them.

Here is the rough outline:

Ep 1: An AnarchoCynical Method: Diogenes & the Original Twelve Step Program, Part A.

Ep 2: An AnarchoCyncial Method: Diogenes & the Original Twelve Step Program, Part B.

Ep 3: An AnarchoCyncial Method: Diogenes & the Original Twelve Step Program, Part C.

Ep 4: On the Possibility of Claiming Authority: On the Sojourn between Ignorance & Wisdom.

Ep 5: Why Philosophizing Prepares us to Face Uncertainty: On Moderation in All Things

Ep 6: Opening up to a New World without Complete Certainty: On Courage in the Face of the Uncanny

Ep 7: Elucidating Patterns of Decisive Excellence: On Just Companionship & Freedom

These are a basic way forward for something I have been considering for a few months. Expect the first few episodes sometime between March 17 & March 24 (UNT’s Spring Break).
