"If you’re concerned about scalability, any algorithm that forces you to run agreement will eventually become your bottleneck. Take that as a given."

Are our ways of teaching students to ask some questions always correlative with our ways of teaching them not to ask - indeed, to be unconscious of - others? Does the educational system exist in order to promulgate knowledge, or is its main function rather to universalize a society’s tacit agreement about what it has decided it does not and cannot know?
