@legendpinnen That is just me.

why do people enjoy teaching and being a mentor? what's the fundamental thing that makes these activities fulfilling?

There we go.

I removed it so all the mods are like wtf happened lol

i've been considering being a foster parent in the future - idk why i want to be one but i just picture havig a son to raise

@legendpinnen If you think you will enjoy it, try it. Get your feet wet. Do some basic stuff. If you continue to like it keep doing it. If not find something else.

@legendpinnen are you gonna apologizes to ahri. You scared her

Fucking phone man

@Kragt ok thanks

Better say ur sorry quick. I'm about to start work

@JDB The greatest joy in my life is feeding my curiosity. To learn. But when I die I might as well have spent all that time mastrubating. Mentoring allows my constant learning to bear fruit beyond myself.

@shadowlessnexus Then convince me of ahris greatness

Aight then. Enjoy being super trap chain for like 3 hours

Chan.... Phones man

Aight I'm about to start work. Funds over

Fun... Fucking a phone

exept the history but that wont help now

@shadowlessnexus are you fucking a phone ?

I don't know yet. I suspect 18-23 year olds. But I will be taking a year to work with elementary students next year. Like I just said, part of the process is to get your feet wet, try things and learn what you like and do not like.

thanks for the advice man

Yupyup, if you get stuck on the learning and I am online feel free to shoot me a message. I might be able to explain it, or not.

what do you want to teach ?

does robert greene say that the greatest fulfillent come from mastery? do u agree with that

super-trap-chan was that aimed at me?

@Kragt ty

@Kragt yea

@JDB I do not know robert greene but I do agree mastery has its intrinsic rewards.

MY NICK IS FIXED

@legendpinnen I do not know. Probably philosophy, but my problem is I study everything so I will want to teach everything. So a better answer may very well be I want to teach what the student wants to learn.

uno how you said that being able to pass on information/wisdom to someone by being a mentor is why we want to become mentors - doesn't that reflect how we fear being forgotten and replaced by the next generation? aren't we, in a sense, being selfish and using someone else to pass on what we believe to be important?

if we do what we do for ourselves, why do we care what the next generation does?

I am not sure that applies in my case. It is not about me. It is about humanity as a whole. The people I mentor can do whatever they want or don't want. I am just here for when they need it.
That is the catch of being a mentor/teacher. You need students, and apart from having children you cannot force people to be your student. They have to want to learn from you or else you are both just banging your heads against a wall.

So if you want to be a good teacher you need to want to be a good teacher (AKA you have to put in the hours and work to develop your skills, knowledge, communication etc...) and you have to have students.

i agree with everything you're saying but, just to play devil's advocate : if it's not about you then why do you care?
