Capitalism to the Rescue - Green Tech Rising - NYTimes.com: Nice article on Kleiner Perkins’ change of strategy but nothing new if you’re already familiar with their new direction. It’s pretty funny, the journalist’s wide-eyed point of view, “Wow, you mean private for-profit companies can solve tough environmental challenges? That idea had never occured to me! How intriguing!”

“When I grow up, I’ll have many kids : 8 boys and 8 girls ! No, wait… The boys would bug me, so I’ll have only girls. And they will be very silly, I’m telling you ! They will spill water everywhere, they will not finish their plates and I’ll have to do the “plane” trick all the time. It will be difficult…so I think I will have to rest often.”

“

Les moyens alloués jusqu’à présent aux universités étaient essentiellement fonction du nombre d’étudiants inscrits ADMINISTRATIVEMENT, sans prendre en considération ni les inscriptions pédagogiques, ni surtout la réalité de l’investissement des étudiants dans leur formation : ni participation aux eseignements, ni inscription aux examens.

Le ministère de l’enseignement supérieur et de la recherche tente de faire “coller” la réalité et l’allocation des moyens. La CPU est “réservée”. Voici ce que cela donne.

“[I]t’s an automatic response, in virtually all humans, to think that things are getting worse. (…) This is a harmless enough reflex—lazy and uncritical, sure, but usually harmless enough. But when it concerns how we see young people, and how we perceive the landscape of learning and literacy, this kind of doomsaying is a goddamned dangerous kind of intellectual sloth. When we assume, as most adults do, that kids are less literate, less interested in books, than ever before, it involves a willful kind of ignorance, and it imperils how we educate young people. Few if any of these dire assumptions—that no one under 18 reads, that all books will be obsolete by 2020—are borne out by any proof whatsoever.”

“Of all the obstacles to a revival of genuine conservatism, this absence of self-awareness constitutes the greatest. As long as we refuse to see ourselves as we really are, the status quo will persist, and conservative values will continue to be marginalized. Here, too, recognition that the Iraq War has been a fool’s errand—that cheap oil, the essential lubricant of the American way of life, is gone for good—may have a salutary effect. Acknowledging failure just might open the door to self-reflection.”
