  4. The conventional pedagogy persists because it conveys a view of reality that simplifies our lives. By this view, we and our world become objects to be lined up, counted, organized and owned, rather than a community of selves and spirits related to each other in a complex web of accountability called "truth." The conventional pedagogy pretends to give us mastery over the world, relieving us of the need for mutual vulnerability that the new epistemologies, and truth itself, imply.

Then the effort that I have made is what people are pleased to call the fruit of genius. It is the fruit of labor and thought.
