THEIR SCHOOL, OUR LUDUS

A professor must work to justify expensive fees, to teach something that is of little value, to people who lack interest, most of whom don’t have ability, and none of whom want to invest the effort to master it, for an indulgence (diploma) that conveys endurance not competence.

I get to teach something of profound value, to people who are interested, and who have the ability, and are willing to invest the effort to master it, in exchange for reciprocal learning, and the possibility of building a better world together.

I teach every day. I don’t ‘grade’ students, I encourage, advise, and criticize (in the positive sense) their thoughts. And I get to discipline (trash) malcontents until they leave the classroom. We don’t have a schedule to meet. We don’t have to learn at the same rates. We just improve our fitness and technique until we can construct our arguments, demonstrate our understanding, and solve the substantive problems we face.

There is no substitute for listening to discussion and debate, trying to survive debates, and if possible someday emerging as a champion of debates – on any subject.

Together we run a Ludus: a school for gladiators.

And our subject is Aryanism: the transcendence of mankind.
