bridge the generational divide
Submitted by Scott Aaronson (see notes) (MIT) on January 7, 2009 - 10:29pm.

I'm far from having one foot in the grave, but in the 12 years since I was a high school sophomore, I've learned plenty. By passing this along to current high schoolers, I save them the waste of time and the greater embarrassment of having to find things out the hard way. This task becomes increasingly difficult as the generational divide grows, since the younger generation is more likely to think that the older one is too "out of touch with the times" to have relevant advice, whether they really do or do not.
