"A great investigation into the cultural priorities of higher education -- the separation of thinking from doing, and how dumb it is to look down on people who work in the trades (mechanics, plumbers, craftspeople) when their work is often rewarding and valuable.
Highly recommended for parents who have children who don't want to go to college. Send them to trade school instead. Apprenticeships aren't dead." — Dec 15, 2020 04:22PM

"Some of the most intelligent and philosophically rich short stories I've ever read ...
the story "understanding" is worth the price of admission -- asks the question : what does it actually mean to be intelligent!? just gorgeous and thought-provoking prose." — Dec 15, 2020 04:20PM
