Welcome to Litsy!

I read sections of this in college with my favorite professor and have been wanting to reread it for years. I got more out of it this time while feeling like I understood less! Because I‘m older and wiser (?) but also not in an academic mindset anymore.

This is a set of essays reflecting on his observations near the end of life, including his career in archaeology/anthropology, but very philosophical. Very good. Recommended.

☝🏼The impact of mentors/teachers on children and guiding their interests (for better or worse).

How very timely.

We are in a creative universe. Let us then create.

We who have recourse only to a past which we misread and which has made us cynics would now venture to produce our own future.
