What is an idea?

Thought is the only instrument we have now and that thought is limited and therefore whatever it does is fragmentary. Is there another instrument not touched by thought?

What is the function of an educator?

Why do I have to choose between careers? Does it depend on my parents, my motives, my desire for wealth?

The word ‘school’ means leisure originally, to have leisure to inquire.
