Abstract
Research and its dependency upon authority has mostly produced in the modern age a simulacrum for what a true education should entail: an infinite passion for an infinite knowledge that can only really be approached with a desire that resembles something like love. We have to want to learn, to love to learn, to want to dig through the information before us, because we are passionately committed to knowing something in particular, always in an ever-greater particularity, even when we just need to get the general gist of something specific. Where desire ends as a result of touching imposed limits, an unending desire arises simultaneously, but it is one that must not be limited in any way. It is a desire that knows only that it cannot be curtailed, that it must persist outside the system and beyond technological interventions that often distract us from the core of what education is truly about.
