I am interested in the class that you are teaching “effective action”. Isn’t that what almost every young person going to college is spending some of their energy on? “How can I make what I am studying matter in a significant way” It seems like that becomes so difficult and seemingly unatainable that the question gets put on the back burner when the student goes into “survival” mode; negotiating classwork, mating options, and eating. I would have loved to have discussions like that to anchor me in my studies.

I am not familiar with blogs, but thought I’ld check yours out. Nice to see some of your thoughts
