"Poetry often enters through windows of irrelevance."
M.C. Richards
20th century American poet/writer
And what is "irrelevant" is often a matter of opinion, subject to change tomorrow.
Take education for example.
That you learn is more important than what or how you learn, a contention I agree with indirectly suggested to me by Julia Watson of Oedb.org in 9 Brilliant Business Minds And Their Totally Irrelevant College Majors.
That's what I like about this blog, and miss about the demise of the CI blog. Interesting results often come from the unexpected.
ReplyDeletedo you really mean that what you learn is not important?
ReplyDeleteNotice I said learning is more important than what you learn, which is not to say "what" is not important.
ReplyDeleteWhy more important?
If you don't learn, there is no "what".
