Agree. Perhaps Tracey Emin herself is trolling, who knows. But ∃x⊂A | Sx ↛ ∀x⊆A Sx. (S is for Sucks.)

That sounds creepy. As if emotions are some kind of enemy to keep in check, rather than the substance of life.

In terms of capital + human capital multiplying your effort, programming is pretty hard to beat. Compare sales calls, meetings with important people, instructions delivered to staff, farming with tractor; even hands-free investing requires

I was using Cuban as an example because the book cover visible on the article is so jock-ish. In the above Cuban is supposed to represent that business-successful jock archetype.

Maybe the people who think college is a waste of time should try to reach young people with that message. (career day at a nearby school? online forums young people hang out on?)

"it doesn't matter" In what sense? In a social-justice sense it seems like it does matter quite a bit. In a national-productivity sense "the college question" also matters quite a bit. In what sense doesn't $trillions of spending matter?

I hoped this article would discuss how to advertise your position to increase the SNR (really, the appropriate-to-inappropriate-resume ratio). Some things are obvious: if you use words like "ninja" and "rockstar" you are communicating that

caycep, there is some stochasticity. I think if you search for matches with the same criteria twice, you will not get the exact same sort (try searching in a populous area).
