Kava and it's potential to cause psychosis

[Prince Philip]

But I'm not a doctor. Just an idiot High School English teacher. Whose grammar and spelling goes all to hell after Kava.

Perhaps this is not really a proper reply.





-Lente.

As a native of Tanna now living in voluntary exile in Britain, I know I have little to no right to comment on the American educational system, but as a speaker and reader of the English language and the works of its best authors, I implore you teach Lovecraft in your American Authors class.

If I had just one author to recommend to developing young minds, Lovecraft would be it.  The power of Lovecraft to expand both the mind and the vocabulary is phenomenal.  It's a way of vaulting one's mind out of middle-world and into realms it was never meant to be in.  As such, it can metaphorically prepare one for an acceptance of those truths now better understood by science, and as such represents a critical point in the evolution of the American Zeitgeist from that of Victorian materialism to a post-quantum world that is, in the words of Borh, "Anyone who is not shocked by quantum theory has not understood it."

Prince Philip:


I do teach Lovecraft, if you can believe that. I have his complete works, and have had since a teenager. The sometimes over the top fancy language gets to the kids sometimes, but the stories are so archetypal. Descending into the deep, the unconscious, etc. I am a Jungian at heart, and Lovecraft. Oh man, Lovecraft.

As for Britian's education system, I understand that grammar is still important. I envy this. I teach it, even though I am the only one in my High School who does. I'm not kidding.

And although I supposed to teach just American authors in some classes and British authors in another, but I just teach what books I want to what classes.

Thanks to standarized testing, on paper I'm the best they have, so I get away with quite a lot.
