While I don’t really ‘teach’ so much as perform research online, teaching is a byproduct of that research.

One of the reasons I like “teaching” online is because people have time to contemplate in a way that they do not have time in the classroom. Furthermore they can choose what to contemplate, and when to contemplate it.

One of the other reasons is the One Room Schoolhouse where people of all levels exist, and people can learn by observation, repetition, asking questions, making arguments, and teaching others.

We can cover the same material from dozens of different directions.

To some people this may seem inefficient. But is it? You can teach a hell of a lot of people this way. Versus a classroom? We have an enormous one room schoolhouse on the internet.

We teach most humans the wrong way – not as a campfire, but as a job. Not through stories and problems but through stress. Not through repetition but through force.
