Maybe even made it impossible to grow up on time. <p>Basically, we long ago decided that teens ought to be in school, not in the labor force. Education was their future. But the structure of schools is endlessly repetitive. “From a Martian’s perspective, high schools look virtually the same as sixth grade,” said Allen. “There’s no recognition, in the structure of school, that these are very different people with different capabilities.” Strapped to desks for 13+ years, school becomes both incredibly monotonous, artificial, and cookie-cutter.</p> </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote>http://gottfried.tumblr.com/post/235393845http://gottfried.tumblr.com/post/235393845Fri, 06 Nov 2009 18:53:54 -0500<a href="http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2009/11/ald-gene-therapy/">Gene Therapy Halts Fatal Brain Disease | Wired Science | Wired.com</a>http://gottfried.tumblr.com/post/235046484http://gottfried.tumblr.com/post/235046484Fri, 06 Nov 2009 11:02:19 -0500<a href="http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2009/11/islands-space/">Out of the Blue: Islands Seen From Space | Wired Science | Wired.com</a>: <p><img src="http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/wiredscience/2009/11/islands_1a.jpg" align="bottom" width="680" height="453"/></p>http://gottfried.tumblr.com/post/235045596http://gottfried.tumblr.com/post/235045596Fri, 06 Nov 2009 11:01:11 -0500“Love is a force more formidable than any other.
