Having clear thoughts in tranquil silence does not teach one how to work in a diverse environment. Similarly "No work is done in a vacuum", because nothing is interacting with anything else. A "backwater podunk shithole" is literally a cultural/educational vacuum of sorts. </p> http://bostonist.com/2009/01/03/not_really_news_cities_manufacture.php#comment-1554452 http://bostonist.com/2009/01/03/not_really_news_cities_manufacture.php#comment-1554452 Comments Sun, 04 Jan 2009 11:46:18 -0500 <p>But the internet also makes you stupid.</p> http://bostonist.com/2009/01/03/not_really_news_cities_manufacture.php#comment-1554445 http://bostonist.com/2009/01/03/not_really_news_cities_manufacture.php#comment-1554445 Comments Sun, 04 Jan 2009 11:20:30 -0500 <p>put it on the internet and get yourself a six-figure book deal!</p> http://bostonist.com/2009/01/03/not_really_news_cities_manufacture.php#comment-1554436 http://bostonist.com/2009/01/03/not_really_news_cities_manufacture.php#comment-1554436 Comments Sun, 04 Jan 2009 10:16:20 -0500 <p>but what good is all that extra brain power if you live in some backwater podunk shithole?</p>
