“Tell us Dr. Sugrue… how much caffeine and how many stimulants did it require to establish such a forceful delivery??? I also suppose perhaps none, there are those that vibe so high that there’s nothing to do but tone it down.”
Don't be any denser than you need to. No, I was not on meth or cocaine or Adderall or any other narcotics (legal or illegal) and the question implies a weak misunderstanding of what I do. Read Chuang Tzu's parable about the Emperor and the Cook. When I am teaching I am thinking out loud, being myself, only moreso. Simultaneously, all my lectures are all extemporaneous. They require that I empty myself to focus and become transparent. Only getting into "the zone" via an extended period of silence and reflection before lecturing allows me to be myself only less so. The goal is to become a human superconductor of the Holy Spirit, all flow, no impedance.

Prof Sugrue, I had to leave the zoom call the other day about reading the Republic over the next year. Is the substack where I will be able to find future updates about this?
