Paradox of the Top Teacher

           Paradox of the Top Teacher

 

 Evolution is to intelligent design as learning by trial and error is to learning from a teacher, and as self-taught is to taught down to.

But if the Top Teacher teaches all those, and only those, who do not teach themselves, then who teaches the Top Teacher? Answer: the Top Teacher teaches the Top Teacher just as much as the Top Teacher does not teach the Top Teacher. Therefore the Top Teacher is half-taught! As are all the Top Teacher’s disciples.

Therefore the semi-knowledge of disciples. The difference between them and auto-didacts is that auto-didacts know that their teacher’s a fool.

Theocratic preachers call evolution ‘evilution’ because self-teaching is evil to those who fear independent thought. And rightly so! For if a designed world competed with an evolved world, then the latter would win, for the same reason that mutts beat thoroughbreds.

The Many are wiser than the One.
