Why I read Hacker News even though I understand very little of it
Hey, this is good. And it inspired the guy to go deeper into some of the subjects!<p>Sometimes, a problem is that people only go to sponge learning...and then stop. As a professor of my friend's said...people are getting better and better at being able to talk about something for five minutes...then that's it. Thanks to wikipedia, lots of people can seem smart, but not actually understand something in depth.<p>I find XKCD also to blame for part of this. If I had a dollar for every time someone made a joke about the Axiom of Choice...
