Just received a letter from a fifth grader who has read one of the #philosophy encyclopedias I worked on as a writer/editor. She got in touch to tell me that philosophy has made her life more fun, but now she's having difficulty focussing in class, because she only wants to think about philosophy.

@mollymay5000 I know, right? I don't love it for her long-suffering teachers, though.

@willbuckingham @mollymay5000 don’t worry to much about the teachers, I’m pretty sure her new found interest will create value somehow anyway!

Congrats!
