Very interesting interview! Though I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed my formal education - but I also know I was quite lucky to be at the right place in the right time with the right teachers in the right system. Not for everyone, I'm sure - but I don't think I'd have done as well in a different structure. But, who knows?! Maybe the next time around!

I love what Tim says about how so much of the education system robs kids of the joys of math, reading, and writing! They are the true pleasures of life.
I’m subscribed to Tom’s (the walker) substack but I can’t recall the name of it. Would you mind sharing it? I’d like to read his essay On Walking. Great interview series, thanks!

Thomas's Substack is called The Commonplace. I think this is the essay you're looking for: https://thomasjbevan.substack.com/p/on-walking
