OF THE
TIMES
History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people.
Agreed Reran, I've been following geopolitics since prior to the internet. You use to have to go to the library and read newspapers hung over...
"The media really are the problem." And a very powerful problem. But mistrust is on the rise.
This is so ridiculous it could actually be true. :O
"this move would be sure to drive up tensions with Washington" I guess it wouldn't occur to anyone that perhaps China doesn't really give a damn...

We have a highly educated tech that knows a lot and can focus for hours doing analysis of a problem. Even though his process works eventually to find the problem, it takes way too long and sometimes doesn't consider outside issues not directly related to our field. Not to mention, when working with him, his strict plan ends up not allowing one to help with suggestions as he has his "algorithm".
On the other hand, another co worker and myself work "creatively" when it comes to troubleshooting. By cutting out some things and focusing on the "big picture" by following clues, the equipment gets repaired quicker. It also allows us to consider other factors that rarely go bad (but do sometimes)!
I also think that the way that our education system emphasizes memorizing and repetition kills creativity. Some of the best teachers that I have had in school advocated learning the basics, but gave us time in order to develop a process of thinking why/how instead of "this is the way you do it".
