im midway thru this book atm. its got an encouraging and enlightening feel, but suffers a bit from being situated in elite academia.

for example, this requirement of being "nice" was ubiquitous in gradschoolland and synonomous with "unchallenging, flattering, " and especially, "beyond critique."

hopefully this talk lets the book's concepts trickle down to Earth a bit.
