Do you think so? I think my point, regardless of my particular examples, was pretty sound and important -- people keep talking about "going to college" as if college were monolithic, but college offers you many possibilities for your education, ranging from fairly useless to incredibly valuable.
- barry-cotter 15y agoOn lesswrong being an applause light, I don't know. I don't think it's even saturated HN's pop culture to the extent it will yet, so I expect that linking to the explanation of the term provides value. Your last sentence makes the point that you meant to make much better than you originally did. You could have made it better butthis time there was something other than derision there.
