Aloha,
With the thread on *poppy* witchcraft fresh in mind, I found this
column in the Boston Globe interesting/unsettling/apocalyptic/
imagining a course on Mortimer Adler's _How To Read A Book_.
Maybe the character and quality of *poppy* witchcraft resources
matches the abilities and educations of those who find them so
provocatively *magical*?

kind of ''knowledge black hole" that sucks out of college students
the passion to become truly educated men and women.>>
