Educating the Trendscouts

Education is not the filling of a bucket with water, but the kindling of the creative fire.

Time and again you've asked me if I believe in you. Yeah I believe in you, what's the big deal? so I thought. But it's struck me that maybe other people have a harder time believing. Why?

Because maybe they haven't been exposed to the literature that I've exposed myself to. I've read about what makes great people by writers throughout history. So it's easy for me to identify greatness. Or relatively easier, I think. And I have a handful of people that I'm acquainted with who I regard as great and is easy for me to believe in them. I make a list: Helge, Akari, Jinen, Jinen's teacher, Florian. The last two guys I hardly know them personally.
