Interesting article about schooling for non-academic types to encourage entrepreneurship.

I understand why the top students in America study physics, chemistry, calculus and classic literature. The kids in this brainy group are the future professors, scientists, thinkers and engineers who will propel civilization forward. But why do we make B students sit through these same classes

In particular the advice on failure is valuable.

If you’e taking risks, and you probably should, you can find yourself failing 90% of the time. The trick is to get paid while you’re doing the failing and to use the experience to gain skills that will be useful later.

The key is that you have to take risks to push boundaries and achieve something new (‘innovate’). However, you have to accept that risks are risky, and so often lead to failures.

This post is inspiring/instructing for my blog.

A big part of why I maintain fredsherbet.com is to contribute to the web; to add my voice and commentary, but also have control of the content I produce.

I have to admit, I didn't understand much of this post. But, I plan to watch the video at the end – it's a 1 hour lecture about the octonion number system…

It's so sad how much we've given up in the fight on terror. Although this is a list based on America, there's an impact on us in the UK, and we've got our own scary laws as a result of the war.

In those cases when our government later learned it got the wrong guy, federal officials not only refused to apologize or compensate him, they went to court to argue he should be barred from using our courts to seek justice, and that the details of his abduction, torture, and detainment should be kept secret.

The things done to terror suspects is terrible, and even when we find they are innocent of the things they were suspected of, they have no recourse.

Interesting read. I've made it about half way through so far.
