Awesome! So many countries I didnt know existed before playing.
Sometimes it needed me to click in a particular part of a country and when i clicked elsewhere within the border it didn't recognize it as correct. This seemed to be the case with Somalia, but i dont remember which other ones it was.
I have always been naturally curious, I think. In school, I had to check this impulse in order to fall in line. The curriculum like it was more often stifling than fanning the flames and I feel I am lucky I didn't come out it completely jaded.
But then again, I was among the last generation of kids that actually played outside on my block, burning anthills with magnifying glasses, catching frogs out of the sewer grates. The same neighborhood now is dead quiet, even in the middle of the summer, presumably because what kids there are all sit inside glued to screens. I hope that isn't the case everywhere, and I wonder what it does to a person's natural curiosity. It can't be good, I imagine.
I was careful not to say i was a teacher ;)
But I have immense respect for them, and that comes from a place of being familiar with the work they do.
One of the issues with vouchers and private schools is that many states still heavily regulate curriculum and certification requirements. That makes it almost impossible for parents to really choose the education they want for their kids.
He mentioned they had been tried in the U.S. but without much success. Iirc it was for the reason you mentioned. If governments' only role were to determine content for required state tests, do you still think thay gives them too much power?
The description of university discipline strikes me as rather antiquated. In my experience professors are now more concerned about student complaints than the other way around.
It seems that way because that part is taken from Adam Smith, I believe. I think his point is that it is set up to be punitive, even coercive, to students and not so much to professors. Getting a poor review doesn't make much difference to a tenured professor who teaches a required course. Students have to sit through their (often) shitty lectures anyway.
There's a tension between education as entertainment and education as training. His Adam Smith U is maximally tilted towards education as entertainment. The reason students need a curriculum because they don't know what is required in order to be fit for specific professions that they may want to pursue.
I came to a similar conclusion. I like the way you put it with that tension. Anyone who has thought seriously about education recognizes the need for self-exploration; they will also have noticed that, in its extreme, this can be self destructive.

Nice!
Will we ever see a tutorial on attaching lightning wallets in SN?
I know you do a lot to support bitcoin circular economies in Canada. Maybe you can gear said guide to that audience and focus on pay-to-post/boost as an advertising model.
Nice advantage there. The cold week ahead of us means pool miners can crank their hashpower too. Love it.
My FeedMy Feed
Like livestock,
returning to the trough for their animal feed,
at regular times of the day,
like clockwork,
people mindlessly feast their minds on theirs.
Wanker feed.
Cheap (get it now, pay later on attention-credit).
Complete with your five mind-food-groups
(dopamine, greed, anger, lust and fear).
I agree -- following is for wankers. Producing, imho, is less wankerish, but I can see your point.
There's another aspect of social media that I like to criticise, and that is how addicted people are to their 'feed.'

Commentary is great value-added. Keep it up!
