Here’s some lush U.S. high school graduation rate census data for you. Â The lighter the green, the lighter the course load…

That is a lot of people not doing their homework.
On the other hand, if there are more college and PhD graduates than the economy can handle, then the same likely applies to high school grads, though who would want to admit that?
It’s not the economy, stupid. Â It’s a stupid economy.

BFFs: Bill Gates & Warren Buffett

There are only two people on Earth with more money than Warren Buffett and for some reason he decided to give most of his wealth to one of them.
While The Giving Pledge is a wonderful, wonderful thing, it’s still a little weird to imagine all these people didn’t know what to do with their fortunes until someone suggested just giving them away. Â When imagination is applied to business, it is apparently leased rather than owned.
If Ape Con Myth could ask the Oracle of Omaha one question it’d be, “What was it about Windows that made you think Bill Gates should be calling the shots?” Â But that’s exactly the kind of question you’d expect from an organization selling puzzle pieces to get by.

To begin ACM’s study of philosophy, let’s jump somewhere randomly in the middle.
What is philosophy? Â We will get to that.
Why have you probably read Plato while possibly never having heard of Bertrand Russell? Â Good question.
What does the latter think of the former? Â See for yourself…
And presumably, it still is…
