    Google takes you through its Inactive Account Manager so that you can tell it what to do when you are no longer responsive. You'll have to appoint at least one trustee.

  • The people who concentrate wealth don't do things just out of the goodness of their hearts for the most part, but in order to maintain their position of dominance and then extend their power.
  • One can at least be suspicious that skyrocketing student debt is a device of indoctrination. It's very hard to imagine that there's any economic reason for it. Other countries' education is free, like Mexico's, and that is a poor country.
  • There are a lot of factors. And one of them, probably, is just that students are trapped.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Your future depends on it; my salary depends on it.
  • until I got to Central High, I literally didn't know I was a good student, because the question never came up.
  • "How can mosquitoes fly in the rain?" And then, but why is there a problem? Well, you study the force of the raindrop hitting a mosquito - it's like a person being hit by a locomotive.
  • There were tests, but they just gave information about what's going on. This is something we ought to be doing better.
  • It doesn't matter how much you learn in school; it's whether you learn how to go on and do things by yourself.
  • Kids are naturally creative, and of course, you don't have to beat it out of them. That's why they're asking, "Why?" all the time.
  • Control from above, control by the administrators. No respect for the working person, whether it's a teacher or machinist.
  • You can't let teachers control the classroom. That's teaching to test; then the teachers are disciplined. They do what you tell them. Their salaries depend on it; their jobs depend on it. They become sociopaths like everyone else. And you have a society where it's only, "Look after me; I'll forget everyone else."

    Best read of the day. "It doesn't matter how much you learn in school; it's whether you learn how to go on and do things by yourself."
