A GD reddit?

I guess we all read quite a few articles of interest on the internet. (Right?) It'd be quite awesome if we could all share and comment on the articles other GD users read.

I quite like reddit.com. But I'm not really part of the oh-my-god-Ron-Paul group of netizens, so it's not ideal for me. But I'm sure I'd be interested in what you're reading They may spawn interesting threads at least.

There's nothing really stopping us from starting topics with links to articles in them now (except for the fact the first comment is bound to by yahwe claiming the poster's mentally retarted for reading or posting such an article).

But, still, no-one's doing it. So, do you think we should attempt some kind of link aggregation and comment thing here - maybe in a separate forum or whatever?

Re: A GD reddit?

On the topic of articles we've read, I recently read Lockharts Lament, and really liked it. It's a bit too specific for mathematics education in the US (I think?), but there were still a few things there that reflected a lot on how mathematics is taught in Norway. Recommended reading if you hated mathematics in school.

Edit: Credit where credit's due, thanks for the link mz!

Re: A GD reddit?

People who go out to revise current affairs just so they can waffle on about it really have too much free time...or it's mid round. Why not just have people who know what you're talking about commenting on your thread instead of people who've gone out to see what you're on about and then made a half arsed attempt about something they vaguely understand. Talk about what you know, but don't try to talk about what you don't.

I would suggest that the latter makes the former far easier.

Last real article I read (skimmed over) was about mesh simplification algorithms.

Re: A GD reddit?

I don't really read that much on the internet, but I've enjoyed some of the essays that have appeared in this thread. Whilst I normally read books, I would be appreciative if people could recommend some good articles (I only really need one of each at this stage) on the following topics:

Intellectual property rights
Property
General theory of education
Some kind of essay on national health
Practicalities and difficulties of anarchism

Here are just a few topics off the top of my head. This isn't a request for people to google stuff for me, but rather a request for essays on these (or similar) topics which you already have at hand.
