Now a book of the same title.

Quoted:As a natural-born child of the meritocracy, I'd been amassing momentum my whole life, entering spelling bees, vying for forensics medals, running my mouth in mock United Nations meetings and model state governments and student congresses, and I knew only one direction: forward, onward. I lived for prizes, praise, distinctions, and I gave no thought to any goal higher or broader than my next report card. Learning was secondary; promotion was primary. No one had ever told me what the point was, except to keep on accumulating points, and this struck me as sufficient. What else was there?

Quoted: We laughed at the notion of "authorial intention" and concluded, before reading even a hundredth of it, that the Western canon was illegitimate ... we skipped straight from ignorance to revisionism, deconstructing a body of literary knowledge that we'd never constructed in the first place

小学生男子価値観でのかっこよさ。男性は痛みによく耐え、地位や注目や、そのほかのあやしげな報酬のために生命の危険をおかそとうする意欲も強い。

Quoted: 漢なら、かっぱらいたい時は理屈をつけずにかっぱらえ。キンタマ付いてんのかよ。

This is a sure-to-be-interesting essay on Gamasutra about what those truly difficult games from yesteryear can teach us about game design, and how difficulty in videogames has changed over the years.

It's a long one, but a great topic.

Redot of one of my first dots. These were on display at MSU Law during most of this semester, and I just realized - Mom pointed it out, actually - that the photographer is an '02 Calvin grad. There are some amazing photos in here. The installation made a big impression at the law school. (A cold-hearted audience by all accounts)

Quoted: Ryan Spencer Reed | Sudan: The Cost Of Silence
