Andrei Podell

One day Andrei and I were driving back from San Francisco - I don’t remember why - but we were crossing the Bay Bridge on the lower deck and we were talking about anything and everything. I remember how inspired he was by his brother Stefan and how Andrei was saying that Stefan was going to become a “professor of meta knowledge” and that Andrei thought it would be cool to do that too. For several minutes he described what it would mean to be a professor of meta knowledge but, essentially, it indicated to me how naturally inspired Andrei was by all that one could know. So, in the best of Socratic tradition, it was our own little modern day trip to the Delphic Oracle, where, a long, long time ago, Socrates was declared by the Oracle as the wisest man in the world because “all that I know is that I know nothing at all”.
