Purpos/ed

My contribution to the great purpos/ed debate.

Q. What’s the purpose of education?

A. To make kids brighter

That should just about do it. I’ll donate my 496 unused words to a good cause.

Hello,

Welcome to Outside In, a blog first started back in 2009 and which has been revived to collect together the various things I have been involved with more recently. You’ll find some newer stuff that has generally appeared elsewhere, my old archive of work on education, politics, and culture, as well as a few other tidbits too. Take a look around!

I am a Christian… so that I do not expect ‘history’ to be anything but a ‘long defeat’ — though it contains (and in a legend may contain more clearly and movingly) some samples or glimpses of final victory
