Unfortunately, I haven't really found that humility is rewarded much, which is why I think there's so little of it.

Well, I was rather interested in this article at first, as I think IQ is highly questionable and we give it waaaaay too much credit, but this mostly seems to be an article wanting to bash people with focused thinking patterns (perhaps autis

Can't say I found this article particularly valuable. It spends most of its time trying to explain what constructivism is, and then does a poor job demonstrating how it's being misused as a theory of pedagogy. Mostly the point see

I'm not sure if I'm seeing the logic here. Say I want to develop a game. The easy option is to use an existing engine. The hard option is to build your own engine. The latter is quite often the wrong choice. > If the easy optio
