Summary

This quote suggests that in the future, education will evolve and classrooms as we currently know them will be replaced by a new form of learning. The "boxes with fires glowing within" could symbolize advanced technological devices like computer screens or virtual reality tools. However, the quote cautions the future generations to not confuse the light emitted by these advanced tools with true knowledge. It emphasizes the importance of wisdom in discerning the difference between surface-level information provided by technology and the deeper understanding gained through genuine learning and critical thinking.

The trouble with writing a book about yourself is that you can't fool around. If you write about someone else, you can stretch the truth from here to Finland.
