:12:01
What you're trying to say
when you talk about...
:12:04
Yes?
:12:05
"Virtual warehousing
of the young."
:12:09
Virtual warehousing
of the young.
:12:11
If we artificially
prolong adolescence...
:12:13
And about the curse
of modern education.
:12:16
Look, it's just a course.
It's just a book.
:12:20
No. There are people
out there...
:12:22
people who came here to know
something they didn't know.
:12:24
Who came here to be helped.
:12:27
So someone
would help them...
:12:29
to do something,
to know something.
:12:31
What do they say?
To get on in the world.
:12:34
How can I do that if I fail?
:12:36
But I don't understand.
:12:38
I don't understand
what anything means.
:12:40
And I walk around
from morning till night...
:12:42
with this one thought
in my head... I'm stupid.
:12:44
No one thinks you're stupid.
:12:46
- What am I, then?
- I think you're angry.
:12:51
Many people are.
:12:54
I have an appointment
I have to make...
:12:56
an appointment
which is rather pressing.
:12:58
Though I sympathize
with your concerns...
:13:00
and though
I wish I had the time...
:13:02
this was not
a previously scheduled meeting.
:13:03
You think I'm nothing.
:13:05
I have an appointment
with a realtor and my wife.
:13:07
- You think I'm stupid.
- No, I certainly do not.
:13:10
- You said it. You did.
- When? No, I never did.
:13:12
Or never would say that
to a student.
:13:15
You said,
"What can that mean?"
:13:17
"What can that mean?"
:13:20
What did that mean to you?
:13:21
That I'm stupid
and I'll never learn.
:13:23
That's what that meant,
and you're right.
:13:25
But, then,
what am I doing here?
:13:27
If you thought I...
:13:28
Nobody wants me,
and nobody tells me anything.
:13:30
And I sit there
in the corner in the back...
:13:33
and everybody's talking
about this all the time...
:13:35
and concepts and precepts and...
:13:38
What in the world
are you talking about?
:13:42
And I read your book...
:13:43
and they said,
"Fine, go in that class"...
:13:44
because you talked about
responsibility to the young.
:13:47
I don't know what it means,
and I'm failing.
:13:49
- Maybe...
- No, you're right.
:13:51
I failed. Flunk me out.
It's garbage.
:13:54
Everything I do...
:13:55
"The ideas
contained in this work...
:13:56
"express the author's feelings."
:13:59
That's right.
