Re: Re: [Israel.pm] Is University Really Necessary?

OK, I will not answer most of what you have written (Even the one that you
took out of context), I dissagree with you, and I guess we will not agree on
the subject.
BTW on the "finding" of the "math" issue (and the "language" -> the fact
that I do not remember the name, does not mean that I do not know how it
called, and I only gave it an example, I do not look for a pat in the back
or something... it's just was a pure example).

Now,  I'll only answer my usage of the last quote:

In a different argument I was giving an answer such as "but the statics
shows that people that have learned at universities can learn better" (or
something like this, I'm using my memory). So Unlike you, I do not see
things as winners and losers (although the lion always loose, because it is
not a human), but the fact that you use University based information
(statistic) that does not really check the other side, but you keep on using
it... So I placed (actually more then one) mind for you to remove :)

So because I see that you are like myself (love quotes), here is a cool
quote for you to end up with:

"The future is not something we enter. The future is something we create."
    Leonard I. Sweet


So I hope you take the right people with you to create your idea as a
feature,

Ido
