 I was struck today by Eben's call for courage.

I signed up for this class because I was impressed by Eben's speech at the assembly where we were introduced to the electives. Here was someone who could somehow get away with saying what he thought - without any hedging or toning down. I thought, "I want to be able to do that".

I wonder what we could learn from each other's classroom personas.

Is the classroom persona the key to better knowledge of each other? I doubt that the law student mask is the most effective or honest way to learn from each other or get across our ideas. Maybe I have an overly-skeptical view of the disarming nature of Professor Moglen's class. Still, we all have posted too many papers and topics about the flaws in law school culture and education for me to believe that the classroom persona is the key to deeper understanding.

What's left? Our family selves? Or true selves? Eben said in class that he was not trying to nuture our present selves, he was trying to nurture the people we could be. I suspect this is the persona we should all be trying to know and channel. The personal intros were a great start.

After several months in class, does anyone feel the need to modify their intros, as Michael did in MichaelHollowayIntro?
