So it begins. Inspiration for the blog comes from a Humans of New York interview with a man who introduced the concept of a “personal curriculum”. I read this during college and was deeply impacted by the idea of a purposeful, self-directed inquiry separate from formal study – learning for the sake of learning. The interview has been lost to time but the spirit of it permeates the other interviews linked above.

“A story has no beginning or end: arbitrarily one chooses that moment of experience from which to look back or from which to look ahead.”
