Interactive Learning
My philosophy teacher said, I should be more interactive, so I threw a paper ball at him.
He caught it. Paused. sighed.
As though he'd just been handed the meaning of life in a crumpled form.
"Why?" He asked.
I said, "Because action is the manifestation of thought."
He nodded, wrote existential crisis on the board, and told me to explain.
So I told him the ball represented the duality of idea and matter, that knowledge, to be real, must strike someone in the face.
He gave me detention.
I called it empirical proof.
