A lot of things - including being a musician - are far, far better done through apprenticeship. I was thinking of writing a 100 years after look at Thorstein Veblen's too little known book The Higher Learning in America which is a mix of still relevant practical observation and some kind of offensive elitism. I'd gone there to look at what he said about college athletics due to the recent Supreme Court ruling that said student athletes should or could be paid, along the way I found that a tiny group of schools make instead of lose money over their big-time sports programs. Even back then he noted that the head coaches and their staff were grotesquely over-paid and pampered - you wonder what he'd think of the situation today. If people wanted to really resent something that might be a better thing to be outraged over. The Thought Criminalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01381376556757084468noreply@blogger.com
