bierkergaard

What happened at the beginning of Days is repeated in every generation - Soren Kierkergaard Since completing the Ph.D. and writing the book, I have returned to recreational reading. For fun. While at university, reading was work, processing information and research, pondering its applicability, putting ideas into my own words, and attempting to add new knowledge to my field. Compared to some of my fellow doctoral students (and probably some of my professors) I actually worked with teenagers for two decades and had a good idea of what was/is valid from the ground up. This is not to discount the value of academia. However, theories must work in the real world to solve real issues and problems. Otherwise, it is just whistling in the wind. It might surprise you that I think the primary needs in our society are not material. They are spiritual. Faith, Hope, and Love. Anyone who thinks Trump or any other jack-ass know-it-all can deliver the goods is a Cretin. My vote is for Soren.
