Productive Culture

I followed a link to a very interesting essay today, and when I bounced up to the "Essays" page to see what else the author might have written of interest, discovered that there were already eight followed links from some unremembered previous visit. So it would seem that Paul Graham writes good stuff.

Why Americans make some things well and others badly.

high school is basically warehousing people, and how this creates the wretched atmosphere it does.

I attended a magnet high school for math and science. On the few occassions i attended classes with one of my friends at one of the neighborhood high schools, it always seemed terribly oppresive. I'm so glad i opted out of that environment for the one i did back then.
