It seems to me that the new proposal has people like my younger self in mind all while avoiding the stigma associated with being a beneficiary of affirmative action. I am citing him more as an example of this, “I don’t think the value of places like TJ is primarily about future world-famous “geniuses” like Feynman and Turing and von Neumann”. For someone like Feynman, being born in the US is all that was needed for him to become Feynman. I never played early-youth sports and didn’t. That should weed out these ‘entrance coached’ types, and would be the simplest and the best possible solution, don’t you think? And in a county where Black and Latino families are overrepresented among those the poor and working class, how does the test that’s so easily gameable, sound meritocratic? OK, but why a doofus computer scientist like me? I don’t see how dismantling the magnet schools like TJHS would change the race relations or uplifting the under presented minorities to a difference level. They are a national treasure. The numerous parents who moved, who arranged their lives, specifically so that these schools might later be available for “high-risk” kids were suckered. Sad news. The easier half, the consistency of CH with set theory, was proved by incompleteness dude Kurt Gödel in 1940; the harder half, the consistency of not(CH), by Paul Cohen in 1963. The only rule I have that might apply to the post topic is trial-and-error. By 1965, he was 34, an age considered “relatively old” by the believers in a “Logan’s Run” worldview! Endnote: There are, of course, many actual security problems with the way we vote in the US, and there are computer scientists who’ve studied those problems for decades, rather than suddenly getting selectively interested in November 2020. There is perhaps some moral calculus which makes one kid more important than the other. Stuyvesant and Bronx Science in New York, and the Liberal Arts and Science Academy here in Austin, are also under mortal threat right now. What I am saying is that it is not an egalitarian system when it comes to access. To do so, we, by fiat, insert a new function—an oracle—into the universe of computational problems, carefully chosen to make the desired statement hold. I haven’t seen any reporting that claimed to have counted up how the votes will fall on this; I hope they come out in favor of keeping TJ the uniquely valuable school it is. My friends were the kids I knew in my neighborhood growing up. In other words, even though they’re about the axioms of set theory, they don’t themselves require those axioms. Despite having already been a successful entrepreneur with PayPal, he had to put up with people saying that SpaceX would be a failure, including famous astronauts from a previous era criticizing his efforts. It builds resiliency from an early age. He went to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bishop_DuBourg_High_School . Because the students were not a random sample of kids in the community, there was no way to compare the results of this school’s teaching methods with those of its competitors. His basic theory is that exceptional startups -of the kind that transform society such as Microsoft, Apple or Google- as well as the founders that produce them happen exactly once in history because the right combination of the talent of the founders as well as the societal combination that produced them together with the necessary conditions for their creations to be successful happen only once in history. Magnet schools didn’t need protecting, they needed *being left alone* — which Trump was doing a fine job of. « Agent 3203.7: Guest post by Eliezer Yudkowsky. But “social skills” are a wildly relative concept. they did not do enough of the homework. [It would be an interesting experiment in the market to see how much parents would be willing to pay in tuition to get their kids to take the admission exam, and then enter this program, if the TJ advantage at the entrypoint to college is indeed significant. Obviously I don’t know a lot about the Indian system and you clearly know more than me. While there are many potential confounders here, like the parental wealth requisite to enroll in such a program leading to other educational opportunities earlier in life, the difference in admissions odds makes it seem nearly certain to me that there is some substantive advantage in prepping for the exam. While we are 30 years removed from the fall of the Berlin Wall, you don’t remove the legacy of Communism, and thus of arguments such as “appeal to consensus” that could send those who disagree with the consensus to the gulag, in that short period of time. 3. To get there, he successfully got admitted at an institution that is more selective than TJ has ever been. Are we really doing socially maladjusted kids a favor by planting them into an environment with other such kids?
