http://www.paulgraham.com/lesson.html"It's no wonder high school students often feel alienated. The shape of their lives is completely artificial.But wasting your time is not the worst thing the educational system does to you. The worst thing it does is to train you that the way to win is by hacking bad tests. This is a much subtler problem that I didn't recognize until I saw it happening to other people."

Oh my goodness (h/t @alcinnz)https://quinnkeast.com/writing/stop-blaming-people-its-a-design-problem/"the engineers were indignant about their changes, even as cases of pilot error rolled in.". . ."However, they’d swapped the location of the throttle and ejection handles, and while under the stress of being shot at while flying at high altitudes, the pilots were often reverting to earlier, automatic behaviour and inadvertently ejecting themselves from the planes."
