There’s a thread running through these all.

• A messiah is a shepherd
• A programming language shepherds you in a direction
• People become very religious about programming languages
• Shepherds observe their sheep, they observe them objectively
• Teachers observe their pupils
• Maria Montessori spoke that teachers should be scientific observers

There’s something here, some connection.

Teachers aren’t messiahs though. Or maybe they are… They are definitely shepherds. I guess they are priests.

Teachers give sermons. Martin Luther King gave meditations.

My daughter loves her teacher, plus she still loves her teacher from playschool/kindergarten.

Is there religion in schools? As in the school themselves, not just Christian or not.

A messiah is a saviour or liberator of a group of people.

Was Rudolf Steiner a messiah? He created his own term – anthroposophy (human wisdom). He creates mini temples with his Steiner architecture.

Anthroposophical proponents aim to extend the clarity of the scientific method to phenomena of human soul-life and spiritual experiences.

Was Maria Montessori a messiah? Its interesting because then she’s the closest that comes to a female messiah.

Is a messiah a scientific observer? Are priests scientific observers?
