You have to believe something is worth caring about before you will expend energy to care about. I completely agree with this, but I think this is something the educational system should be able to impart. There are so many things we ha

That's a very good question, and one I think everyone needs to be asking. I can't claim to be an expert on education, but we can all speak from experience. Being currently in the educational system, I honestly think it's about inspiration v

> "You see, education, for most people, is NOT about learning . It's about getting a job. " That is exactly true. But I challenge that "learning for its own sake" is not normal; rather, the educational system is atrocious in its abili

Although, it's an strange move on their part not to immediately release at least some of these features. I'd have thought that the initial confusion or lack of clear product differentiation would have turned users away who might not come ba

Well, the "asynchronous" and sent-delivered-read notifications are cool, but what I'm really excited about is this: "Here’s where things get interesting. If it can build its community, Kik has a lot of new territory to cover if it wants to.

Hahah, that's a good idea. I wonder if they've experienced this, because it seems like something that could happen fairly often...

I think they share sensory perception, it was mentioned that tickling one will make the other laugh, and a few other things. If one imagines something, though, I'm not sure if the other receives it. Could possibly be that sensory input is d

Well, the problem is, how would they know? I wonder if they can differentiate between their own thoughts and their twin's thoughts - they could all just pop into both of their heads, just like a "natural" thought. Also, I'm not sure if they

That's an interesting point. I'm reminded of the way we perceive colors. We may see completely different things as "green", but because they've been given that linguistic label, we can identify them as the same. However, if I see red when y

Completely agree. Part of what makes these communities thrive is the passion and innovation of everyone involved. If there wasn't constant discussion going on at every level, there wouldn't be anything to fund in the first place. I think Br
