„On Teaching.
My first attraction to the Symposium at large came from its title, specifically from the last word which is a negation of the statement put in brackets and as such placed in front of an exclamation point. I read the exclamation point as the urge, the need, the desire to act; the desire to act upon the negation to the statement that is understood (recognised, shared by peers) only when hidden from plain sight. The brackets seem to be the crucial signifier, one implying that we empathise and agree with the following thought: actual autonomy (one that would be assumed by stating the not without the use of brackets) is recognised as a source to more problems than solutions. Actual autonomy is something we want, but have not yet attained - consciously. " (Pavle Heider, LEAP facilitator)
