...one book in them, almost no one has two. And I think there is a lot of truth to that. So you have to have new ideas, and the way to have new ideas is not to sit in a room and start thinking about it. We have this saying here at Genius: “Hi, modernism!” Good. High modernism, bad. Geniuses, Or Whatever: Tom Lehman and Ilan Zechory | WEEKEND

“High modernism” = Sitting in your study armchair trying to plan everything out in advance like a little Le Corbusier.

“Hi, Modernism!” = Putting yourself out there, getting in people’s faces, telling them “Hi!”, seeing what they actually think of your ideas, etc.

(That second one, the “Hi!” one, is much better, IMO)

And of course this particular formulation is a reference to the whole “Four legs good, two legs bad” thing from Animal Farm

...whatever, and do something-something with computers, and a bunch of people are moving to New York. That seems like the thing — I’ll do that.” And then everything got all twisted and turned, so, yeah, I did [work at the hedge fund], but it was all wrong.

What I meant here was “I did [have a sense of where I wanted to go after Yale]”

About me (more)

My name is Chris Poole, and I hate writing (but I'm giving it a shot anyway).

I am better known as moot, the founder of 4chan.

...L: Also, college is a very individualistic thing. It’s like, okay, what are you going to major in, what’s your GPA … and so that encourages you in college to think about yourself as: I’m special, and I’m a rugged individualist. I’m going to be a professor! I’m going to be a writer! The reality is, in life, hard things — very difficult to do alone, and most important things or desirable things to do are very hard. And so, b... Geniuses, Or Whatever: Tom Lehman and Ilan Zechory | WEEKEND

“Rugged individualism” is itself a Hoover-era meme

In hindsight, Bryson feels like he should have given the break-up more thought.

Interestingly he blames the girl for letting him make such a stupid mistake! A classic non-apology apology.

TL: I thought guaranteed: going to go to law school, hopefully a prestigious law school,  because I was into that kind of stuff back then. There was actually a major at Yale during my time where you had to apply to get into it. So I was like, “That’s the major for me!” I was an idiot. A...

TL: There’s a meme called the Yale Bubble, or whatever — you know, it’s not a literal bubble. But what it means is that you’re sort of insulated from the world. And I think that is very true in the sense that I thought, “Whoa, big time, I’m in college, I’m doing real work.” Yale was way more ... Geniuses, Or Whatever: Tom Lehman and Ilan Zechory | WEEKEND

Though I know an artist who satirized this concept by building an ACTUAL BUBBLE on Old Campus in which to study for exams.
