My kind of nightclub, though at this point in my life I’m much happier reading at home.

[Scott Mesi @scott_mesi]

That and going against the grain

Being motivated to learn outside of school has to be a strong predictor of future high achievers

@RichardDawkins Society with predictable jobs requires credentials from schools. The jobs are not easily obtained without suffering through school for degrees and certificates

[Scott Mesi @scott_mesi]

@RichardDawkins It took a long period of unschooling and free time for me to read for fun.

@DavidDeutschOxf Scientific discovery or knowledge creation can’t be done on a timeline laid out in a syllabus with a classroom of students with different backgrounds and interests.

@Dee_Wrecks Will be interesting to see how success is measured if not by grades. Career trajectory of cal students before and after grading?

@elonmusk @zerohedge Let’s squeeze them

@buttonslives @IvanaDGreco Actively support and guidance required. Suffering stems from missing knowledge

@MatthewBerman So you think the fate of children is predetermined? Seems silly, I’d say it’s more like 50/50 nature/nurture.

[Scott Mesi @scott_mesi]

@Dee_Wrecks I do think probability is very valuable for decision making since more decisions are probabilistic. Math and stats help your judgement. That’s why a physicist can be successful in finance… I definitely see your point

This opens the door for apprenticeships and guilds to offer better training for lower income fields like a non-stem, teacher or medical assistant if the programs lose federal funding.

@Dee_Wrecks Flynn effect demonstrates institutions train people to think in abstract ways which are measured by IQ test. So we see generational improvement in IQ with the same genetics

@Dee_Wrecks What about all the tribal societies that have little “respect” for strangers that have been around longer than globalized society?
