The core points from "God's Debris", a book by Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams.
I disagree when he uses the word "avatar". That word is for people who are deputies of God. Prophets. Seeing as he wrote the book, and he thinks this is the height of enlightenment...
...he is pointing to himself as a prophet. He has a fairly solid fanbase (people who fell for his schtick), but I do not believe he represents God on Earth.
About 10% of what I post here gets a reply. Often, a negative one. It's obvious why berserker.town is shutting down. Too little, too late. And I need to do less computers and more going outside.
I don't think most parents truly care that the kid is a repository of knowledge or that their grades are good.
What they care about is that the kid has a good life. If school didn't exist, but being able to make balloon animals was an important job qualification and indicator of success, that's what parents would want for their children.
I suspect that scholars sometimes forget about this, because they love knowledge for knowledge's sake. They have a philo - love - for Sophia - the goddess of wisdom. They're philosophers, in other words.
They sell #bread like this at the local corner store. Turkish sourdough bread, they call it. It reminds me a bit of the best French bread. Doesn't quite reach up, but is miles ahead of what I can get at the nearest supermarket or bakery.
