Twenty years after my own graduation, I have come gradually to understand that the liberal arts cliché about teaching you how to think is actually shorthand for a much deeper, more serious idea: learning how to think really means learning how to exercise some control over how and what you think. It means being conscious and aware enough to choose what you pay attention to and to choose how you construct meaning from experience. Because if you cannot exercise this kind of choice in adult life, you will be totally hosed. Think of the old cliché about “the mind being an excellent servant but a terrible master”.</p>”<br/><br/> - <em><h1 class="quoteText">David Foster Wallace, <em>This Is Water: Some Thoughts, Delivered on a Significant Occasion, about Living a Compassionate Life</em></h1> (via <a href="http://absurdlakefront.tumblr.com/" class="tumblr_blog" target="_blank">absurdlakefront</a>)</em>http://paperbackreiter.tumblr.com/post/53179219274http://paperbackreiter.tumblr.com/post/53179219274Mon, 17 Jun 2013 00:43:55 -0600“‘Attachments are of great seriousness.
