Why cut the writer so much slack? Musk went to business school period. Undergraduate, graduate doesn't matter. Doesn't matter what classes he took either. That is not what is talked about in the statement.
Curious why it even matters what is written by the OP given such a glaring and easy to figure out wrong mistake.
- vikramkr 7y agoAccording to the OPs response to one of my comments in this thread, this is just his opinion in a short blog post, so we should "deal with it." Doesnt particularly incline me to cut him any slack or to trust that his arguments are made with any sort of rigor at all - it's like there's no sound foundation to even start a debate or engage with what he wrote.
- gist 7y agoAnd that is even more remarkable considering what he is trying to do (K12 ed) read this: https://shafyy.com/about/ https://shafyy.com/about/ What is really strange to me is how HN feasts on blog posts as if they were more special than a simple HN comment. And I do mean 'feast'. And saying that in reply to you (just read the comments) shows no pride at all in what you are saying ie 'deal with it'.
- vikramkr 7y agoOh wow I did not realize that he's trying to do something education oriented, that makes it 1000x worse. I believe that it's important to instill a sense of intellectual integrity and critical thinking ability into the next generation of society, and I definitely don't think OP is instilling that in anyone based on how he handled criticism and refused to engage with sincerity or intellectual honesty in this thread. That's unfortunate.
