I think the meta teaching is more important, and more impactful that the information taught.

I can write you a 20 pages essay about why a text is boring and why I don't see talent in it, with detailed analysis on the style, fit, comparison with similar intent and pieces of art and explain the reason I think the usual analysis

To be fair, I have been guilty of being a smart ass, and I can totally imagine other people being one when confronted to bullshit. It's not a productive reaction, and you grow out of it, but it's not a surprising one.

I'm all about teaching about societal approval as long as it's labelled as such and put in perspective. I think that actually it would have helped me a lot to have it labelled that way: I would have respected the teacher more, and

It doesn't. I just think I would have liked you as a teacher, and most I met didn't not have your point of view.

It's not hard to them to make this mistake: "le", "la", "les" is all "the" for english natives, while verbs and adjective don't change according to plural or gender. A lot of my mistakes in

I get that, that's why you don't label it for humans, and you make it hackable. Just like there are people ready to die on Mars just for the sake of making the next step for humanity, there is out there a community of people ready

Some are, but I think many don't. Text analysis is a lot like wine tasting: there is something to it, but it's way over the top. And if you put a brand new text and put 10 experts on it, they will come up with different interpreta

That seems like a great kickstarter you should make then. To avoid the need to go through FDA approval, don't label it for humans. Label it for animals. Label it for lab testing. Buy sensors from reputable names, plug them to a chip th

Honestly I will be fine with bad latency if I can get reliable wireless internet anywhere on earth. If I need good latency, like for playing games, I will go to a location with fiber. I really, really think SpaceX Internet can do a lot of g

I always though how silly it was for teachers to pretend they got the correct answer in a text analysis of a century old author. Apparently it's even true for authors that are still alive. Some things seemed so far fetched, so random,

The way you see things leads to the society of today, where big companies have powers close to the state, and very little accountability. If it's ok to accumulate immense wealth and power by misbehaving for 20 years, and just with swit

What is important, the number of criminals, or the number and nature of crimes ? I think the goal is to reduce the later, attacking the former was just a way to try to do that. Ecuador strat seems to work toward the second goal, just withou
