He didn't say education is a cancer -- he said that the Anglo-US model is, as developed by the fusion of the Anglo-American university and Dewey's model of public education. I agree with him for the reason he states, and others that won't be covered on this list. > But, regardless, I think it would be a mistake, in any public policy > context dealing with opportunities, to "put all of one's eggs in one > basket". Great point for people like me who grumble about the current model -- nothing's ALL bad. Well, everyone train someone to use J to help their thinking -- that way we won't be totally dependent on universities :-). I'd really like to hear more from the people who use J as a tool for thinking. That was, of course, what APL was made for -- how does it work for you? I'm curious about the generalities and the specifics. > Raul -Wm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
