Sounds like what you guys want is something for nothing. Unless I'm missing something...?

One little thing like this isn't a huge barrier to entry, but a hundred little things like this make a whopper of a barrier to entry.

The problem is that there are an overwhelming number of choices when it comes to what to do with one's life. Parents need to at least make it clear that there's a relatively small subset of these choices which are acceptable. (Not a handful

This hits the nail on the head. It's not that people don't understand the syntax or even the semantics of programming languages (well, some people can't write a for loop, but they're just hopeless). It's that they can't see how to use the l

While I agree that we shouldn't put people into boxes (figuratively or literally), the problem with what you're suggesting is that people become depressed when they don't know what society expects of them. This may be inconvenient, but it's

I don't want people to get the impression that weight-lifting inevitably leads to injury. This guy was seriously overdoing it or had poor form if his body was "shot" after two years. If you want to do low-rep, high-weight lifting, make sure

This is going to sound extremely cynical, but I believe that there's another reason why people enjoy coming up with ideas while in the shower or driving or taking a walk or...etc. When you're doing one of those things, you can't actually do

I agree, with the caveat that it shouldn't be done on a curve. College should be much harder than it is, but it should be theoretically possible for everyone in a class (of super-geniuses) to graduate.

That's what he said. The parents would pay you a flat rate (today's tuition) and you would pay their kid's tuition 10-15 years from now. Assuming the bubble burst before then, you would make the difference in price between today's tuition a

Your only valid point is that the replacement organisms might be more dangerous to humans. I find your callousness toward human suffering repulsive. If I could press a button that would instantly wipe out any and all animal species which ca

Maybe we could--GASP!--teach them trades based on their interests and aptitudes. The current system is best described by the following Marilyn Manson lyrics: "Trained to be stupid/Taught to be nothing at all/We're taught to be nothing"

$3M would definitely be FU money to me. Not enough to live in opulence, but definitely enough to not have to work for a living.

"FU money is no more or less than what you make of it... and it can run out as fast as it came if you aren't careful. Plenty of people are in the "FU" financial stage and don't even realize it, and plenty of people who wish they were there

I have no idea. I've never been inside one either. But the author was criticizing--well, insulting--a political faction, not expressing a dislike of women.

The author's "agenda" * doesn't * "[have] a touch of dislike of women in it", though. It has a touch of dislike of a particular type of academic feminist, but 99.99% of women are not members of this group. If I said that I disagreed with th

Even if we agree to define "misogyny" a bit more broadly, the piece isn't indicative of misogyny on the part of the author. That's what I take issue with: not that the accusation you make is so terrible, but that it is baseless. As for "sma

The guy spent his entire life accumulating massive amounts of wealth, spent virtually none of it, and is now using it to make the world a better place. What don't you find amazing about that?
