“I think the Socratic method is something, like many things that are highly effective, within us. And if you kind of have the right intention, the right goal, it often just happens. I don’t think Socrates invented the Socratic method. I think he discovered something that was already there.”

In January, high school teacher Warren Smith posted a video of an exchange he had with a student—an exercise in Socratic dialogue and critical thinking. Within a short time, the video went viral. Six months later, his life has dramatically changed.

“When I look at that video, I never in a thousand years would have guessed that would have gone viral. And to me, that’s indicative of a larger problem. The fact that there’s that much hunger for logic and critical thinking and seeing such a transformation occur—there’s so many presuppositions and unfair accusations and such lazy thinking out there that that is what went viral. Really?” Mr. Smith says.

We dissect the viral video Mr. Smith recorded, and discuss his project to expand the Secret Scholars Academy. We also discuss his faith in God, views on higher education, and lessons he has learned from the Harry Potter series.

“Whatever picture that paints is the picture that’s painted. Who cares what they want to call it? It’s just boats floating on the surface,” says Mr. Smith.
