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…
