From the article: >In the meantime, the experiment stands as proof that evolution does not always lead to the best possible outcome. Wow, the author forgot something critical--there are no time constraints in this statement. It is as th

I loved The Black Swan. I filled it with post its and have used it for multiple school projects. If I had to name one person who tossed me into the world of non-fiction intellectual books, it would be Taleb. As I learn more and read more I

Alex, I do not see how the content of the links you posted addresses Malcolm Gladwell's contention that good teachers could close the Black-White gap. To refute that idea one would have to get contradictory data on a scale at least as large

In my view it is better than Google Reader's "note this" (followed by emailing). I say this because GmailThis! does not insert propaganda. It simply pastes the link and preps you to email to a friend.

I would love it if there were a college specific channel for users. It would be easy to know who else is part of the community at one's college--and maybe meet with them.

You could put a picture of yourself in the about section to build a personal connection with the first users. Edit: There's also a typo (harware)

I'd appreciate it if you elaborated. You seem to say that his take on suburbia is incorrect, but you do not say why.
