Why?
- oscargrouch 12y agoBecause the current systems cant detect our Einstein, Mozarts, Da vinci's or even Jobs correctly; Creativity is the "next thing" on XXI century, and creative types have hard times following rules, or working well in army-like societies; those people are our underdogs now; the system doesnt know what to do with them; and does not like them (until they create "star wars" or a flying car); so i would say its a joke and pretty much broken
- x0x0 12y agoWell, I assume we've all met people (particularly since this is a board nominally for entrepreneurship involving software) that did very well in school or in other activities where there is a very well-laid out set of steps to follow and flounder when responsible for picking what to work on. If cmu wants to have high-impact graduates, they may feel they have enough people who dot every i and cross every t and get perfect grades, and would like more of the people likely to be impactful in life.
