When I went to school I had calculated and finished a 8th grade math book in the 4th grade. Granted not really a genius, but some smartness at least and I did love math. Then someone told me I couldn’t do that and I needed to wait for the rest of the class so instead of improving my interest and skills in math, I started to doodle and throw things at girls.
I think most of you out there have similar stories and this is one from the Simpsons.
Mediocracy rules! No shit…
Ah, Ayn Rand - The Fountainhead. A positive sign that some real "values" are floating out even into mainstream culture. Don't get me wrong - I like Simpsons - but I rarely watch it for its philosophical depth.
