cbaker··on 8^8 – Find another you
Why would you want to meet someone exactly like yourself? You already know you. I'd rather meet people different from me.
cbaker··on Why are interest rates so low?
If you implement policies where all the benefits of growth go the people least likely to spend them, you'll end up with a glut of savings. That is why interest rates are so low.
cbaker··on How to Think
I'm sympathetic to the ideas in the article, but is there any, you know, actual /data/ to support that calling kids lazy and telling them their work is unacceptable is an effective way to teach? I talk to people who study this stuff and do consulting for people like the US military (who aren't particularly known for their touchy-feely approach to training), and, as far as I can tell, this doesn't work particularly well.
cbaker··on A living death: Sentenced to die behind bars for what?
Here is the US, we're allowed to criticize the government. If you're unhappy with that, maybe you'd like to move to North Korea, China, or any of those other countries where people like you are allowed to shut down critical thinking.
