Quotes from Earthlings

Prestige is especially dangerous to the ambitious. If you want to make ambitious people waste their time on errands, the way to do it is to bait the hook with prestige. […] It might be a good rule simply to avoid any prestigious task. If it didn’t suck, they wouldn’t have had to make it prestigious.

— Paul Graham, How to Do What You Love

UNDP Report on Arab States in 2002

A warning from the UN Development Project in 2002 describing the problems and frustrations of the Arab world.  Chief among them western support for their oppressive dictatorships.  It’s not like we didn’t know there was a problem here.  We just chose to ignore it.  America FTW!
