- Trying the Who, What, When, Where, and Why’s of both autodidact and Autodidact.
- Was struggling to finish (actually even begin) the scenes portion of my work on this video. I fed Chat GPT my script for a brainstorm. It was very helpful. It’s ideas weren’t great, but there were some gems in there that I will capture and start with.
What is autodidact?
A self-educated person.
What is Autodidact?
An attempt by Laban LaGreca to know and share the most important things. To find and share all that can and should be put to use by those seeking to live a fruitful and multitudinous life.
Who is Autodidact?
Laban LaGreca. An always motivated, sometimes diligent self-educator. Selfishly seeking to use Autodidact as a form of accountability. Unselfishly attempting to use Autodidact as a vessel for life-transforming, character building, supremely important information for anyone seeking knowledge of that sort.
Who is autodidact?
You, likely. And anyone else in pursuit of truth, genuine freedom, growth, and/or a comprehensive view of reality.
When is Autodidact?
Now and the next 70-80 years.
When is autodidact?
Now or whenever you choose to begin.
Where is Autodidact?
Here and on my website. Both are forever under construction. Works ever-evolving, growing at the same rate as my self-education.
Where is autodidact?
In those moments of quiet solitude.
In those moments of clamorous conversation.
At desk with books in the still.
Out of doors with trees, clouds, and sky moving briskly.
In those moments of focused attention absorbing all things from all sides.
In those moments of wandering focus dazed and in a daydream where you came to know your values and desires more deeply.
At home or in any other of the most common places that have been seen many times before, but that are seen again only with a new pair of eyes.
Out abroad in a foreign land where nothing is common and everything is new.
Why is Autodidact?
To share my perspective and grow it, with hope that you’d absorb it and it’d grow yours. To justify the time spent attempting to answer questions that lack clear answers, but that are most compelling. With hope that it’d save you time in their pursuit, but waste you time by sparking the pursuit of many others.
Why is autodidact?
It’s for the pursuit of freedom. It’s for the pursuit of growth. It’s for the pursuit of Truth. It’s for the pursuit of Beauty. It’s for the pursuit of Virtue. It’s for the pursuit of that it good. It’s for the pursuit of all that is life-giving. It’s for the pursuit of Reality. Ultimately, it’s for the pursuit of God, and if you don’t believe in him it should still only call forth your highest ideals.

You, probably. | Maybe, I can do a POV shot of someone sitting at a desk. Their hands are moving. They are typing, writing or reading. Oh, or maybe its someone holding a phone watching my video. That could be cool. Still from 1st person POV. |
And anyone else in pursuit of truth, | A person reading books. From third person POV, but maybe it could be cool to a sort of Match cut from the phone to the book. |

Today I learned about Plato. Today I learned about the Revolutionary War. Today I learned about gardening.” This will be made to represent my ever-evolving self-education day by day each day learning something new. |

At a desk with books being still or | One of my moms school desks in nature are you sitting there and working in a notebook all of a sudden there's a quick Wes Anderson transition of 180° that will lead to the next seen somebody walking in the same woods. |
Moving with vigor outside, under the sun and clouds. | The camera moves from the desk, 180° quickly onto someone's face and then begins moving backwards as it follows them, and they look up at the sky and are enjoying the weather enjoying nature.

In moments of wandering focus where you came to know yourself more truly or | The camera transitions from the sky to the horizon. |

At home or in any other of the most common places or that have been seen many times before, but that are seen again only with a new pair of eyes. | For this one I'm thinking architectural drawings of classical homes. |

What, Who, When, Where, Why is Autodidact Video.
I need to make an introductory video for my YouTube channel. I think it would be cool if I answered the questions who, what, when, where, why is Autodidact. Do it to the pace and rhythm of the new Tetragrammaton add, or Philip Glass’ Einstein on the Beach.
