My favourite teacher is...

Hello, how are you doing?

My favourite techer is Juan Pablo Arancibia. Well, that already puts us in a problem, because there are teachers and there is Arancibia... So Arancibia may be the only teacher I know or he isn't one at all.

The fact that he gives the Epistemology of Communication course, a kind of philosfic course, is very relevant, but... every teacher that gives the course has his/her own ways. What I like about Arancibia is that he has a conception of education: it must be free, in the sense that if you aren't interested in a class, you souldn't be in it. Of course I would never leave the classroom, 'cause the things he talks about are really interesting and so are the questions he arises. But above that, he communicates them in a beautiful way, as if he really respect people... or, more precissely, the cosmos.

Well yes he has influenced me... Now I'm always making questions to myself, questions that almost no one care about, questions that difficult my writing, because before writing, you have to think (duh!) what are you really saying, so... he really made my life a little bit harder to live... But I have no regrets about getting to "know" him... no one ever really knows each other, but I mean attending his classes.

What is he doing now? Well I don't know, but I'm sure he might be reading, watching some TV to suffer because of all that idiocy, climbing up a mountain with no harness (although that isn't too probable at this hour), or... well, maybe he's just drinking beer and belching, haha. Oh well, I'm sure the "what is he doing now" question didn't point to that direction. He's giving courses in Universidad de Chile and Universidad de Colombia, writing books and, of course (not like us), THINKING.
