@sadgirlyboss hey we share a birthday! hope it’s been a good one!!

[Claire Murphy @clairemtmurphy]

@davewingrave Hmm, this is definitely also a possibility. Perhpas then one just has to hope and pray that they get inspired by the gods who are actually good at poetry

[Claire Murphy @clairemtmurphy]

Plato wrote about this actually (Ion 534c-535a)

The surest sign of Leonard Cohen's genius is that his output was all 10's and 1's

[Claire Murphy @clairemtmurphy]

@davewingrave yep! The claim is that Leonard Cohen (e.g.) must have been inspired by the gods when he wrote 10/10 material, and the 1/10 work is proof that without that inspiration he’s got nothing

@dwaldenwrites @the_point_mag Thank you for writing this—this rings so true to my own experience of teaching great books (and you’ve convinced me that I ought to read Freire)!
