On the surface, the competition seems a fun diversion. But, like most things with Kerr, it’s more than that. What is coaching if not a power balancing act? Here is Kerr, one of the best shooters in NBA history and a famously (if quietly) competitive man, willing to publicly lose, repeatedly, to his star player. That takes a certain innate confidence that carries over to other areas. At the end of timeouts, he often asks the team if they’re seeing anything he isn’t. Earlier this year, reserve Leandro Barbosa suggested a late-game play. Kerr not only listened; he used it.

Thinking is learning all over again to see, to be attentive, to focus consciousness; it is turning every idea and every image, in the manner of Proust, into a privileged moment. What justifies thought is its extreme consciousness.

I am not sure exactly how to alter the educational system to incorporate a study of the overlapping patterns in life. Education is, of course, part of a larger context of culture, including economy, language, politics, science, and so on. We are normalized into an unworkable imbalance, forever tearing the world into pieces and reifying the need to grasp each answer, each ‘solution,’ and freeze it. This is wildly out of keeping with the dance of life, as Heraclitus reminds us with his observation that “you cannot step into the same river twice.” Never rest in certainty.
