Mark works for SAP and runs their developer program … he’s been there
a long time, and is a long time futurist.  His Introduction to
Intelligence Amplification started with a number of slides covering
thoughts by John Taylor Gatto.  Gatto posits that there is a Fourth Purpose
behind institutional education.  He feels that the current design
of the system is flawed, and more interested in teaching consumerism
than anything else.  All of this proposes that there is a better
way to educate, and maybe different things that we ought to be
educating about.
