1139: Mooch and Stoll

LinkedIn and the Purpose of Education

Cliff Stoll expresses confusion over the utility of LinkedIn, noting that he has no work to offer the people who try to connect with him. He pivots back to education, arguing that schools should focus on teaching students to recite poetry or explain the Peloponnesian War rather than just vocational trades like C++ programming. Stoll believes the true goal of schooling is to foster intellectual capability rather than just technical proficiency.
