Reviewing my old twitter posts…
I thought I would review my old tweets to see if I had anything that is now embarrassing (didn’t find anything). I did discover that none of the short coded StumbleUpon links work anymore. the only thing worth reposting is my little song in code
if (You==Sunshine && Me.IsExclusiveSunshine==true){
if (Sky.Color==Color.Gray) {
Me.IsHappy=true;
}

Thought of the day – from somewhere
The desire to teach is much stronger than the desire to learn
I’m not sure where I heard it, and it is probably a bit more apt if you substitute “lecture” instead of “teach”.

The notion of privilege
I think much talk of “privilege” is actually false modesty on the part of the speaker – probably 90% of it actually. However, Arnold Kling has a list of other factors, particularly
- being tall
- having attractive features (or at least not being extremely unattractive)
- being naturally outgoing (extroverted)
- not having mental disorders, such as autism, depression, or schizophrenia
- not having debilitating physical ailments or physical handicaps
- growing up with your biological father (particularly if you are male).
- having artistic gifts
There is no political advantage to either side for these so no one ever talks about them…
