Totes respect and thank you for your poignant correction. [EDIT: this has to be the randomest rant in response to a grammar correction of all time, but I was surprised to find no ideological responses at all, and I wanted to pontificate ;d] I read at college level in elementary, but I think it's easy to see how that might also lead to having some softened edges, because education was rarely available to me when it was relevant. I assume this to be true of most people, I think there is one thing people resent about tech that is kind of a revenge of the nerds thing, and part of that to me is like, look, even colleges didn't have room for a lot of the nerds. Where the hell do you go if you are a poor, chronic nerd who can't get into college? Obviously, I assume my experience with this to be acute compared to a similarly talented person who is not white. There are a lot of smart people in the USA. I know it is important for us to be a place where some smart people who would be oppressed to migrate, as we are a nation of immigrants. I adamantly think we should look to the children of immigrants who pick food, clean homes, offload ships, plumb toilets, fix elevators, etc.. before we look to foreign adults. I strongly feel the USA economy will be the most healthy in a world where people in other parts of the world have a healthy local economy and a proportionate ability to ours to participate in the global economy. I think global information economy makes more sense than global economy which tranfers things like food between continents, while creating harmful pollution. If there is American Exceptionalism, I think it should make what is supposed to be right about the west present everywhere, without military force, but instead by empowering the working class to become knowledge workers. And we should stop absorbing into western culture what is inherent to fascism.
