Maybe your right, but I just saw a greyed out post (my own) that seemed like the only good counter (again, maybe only because it's my own viewpoint). The rest of the discussion did not seem like MEAT, thus this post.

This observation was in regards to the http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=297080 Regardless of whether I am right, I am basically the only countering argument and reduced to a grayed out presence. I do not care emotionally a bit whether

I cannot squat nearly as much nor bench nearly as much, but if that is you metric of health I will point you to several power lifters that died an early death. The strength I am referring is the strength of the "climb a mountain" type or th

But there are still "better ways". I was not discounting the ability of weightlifting to strengthen bones, tendons, and ligaments, but to point out that other ways may be more beneficial and healthier and have less negative effects. Weight

Out of all the elements I mentioned, muscles are the weakest, which you don't counter except to acknowledge. So not a bullshit thought. You only need the muscles to position the body. Structure and grounding toward the earth is the sour

I am of the opinion that lifting weights is just damage and not really useful in comparison to many other activities. I was a college football player and could put 375lb above my head, squat over 500lb and bench press 225lb over 30 times. T

Hmm. So you would take the opinion of a car mechanic that has never driven a car? His 'necessary research' was a period of traveling, observing, and critically attempting to understand these issues, not some 'Education Reform 101: Introdu

If you had read the article in question you would see that there is much more depth and analysis and yes ideas for a possible change than your caricature. As for your "kids in Africa", Illich talks much in this article about the young in

Yes, but you work with what you have, and we have many a broken segmented community. This is just making the bulletin board virtual and helping out with the legwork.

Yes! Learning webs. Webs of all types. I envision "the next big thing" as connecting needs with wants outside of the current economic and social structures, down to the smallest scale. Teacher learns as much as the student. Sue likes teachi

Anyone who cares about this subject should read Ivan Illich's "Deschooling Society". http://ournature.org/~novembre/illich/1970_deschooling.html He was ahead of his time and died in 2002, but his time is now . His ideas on "Learning Webs

Build something cool. Rinse. Repeat. Doing exercises and plowing through books is great but solving your own problems, to me, is key. Most books won't even touch the surface of the real things you'll deal with, like how to interface to C or
