Hey there, grab your earbuds and settle in. We're chatting about the arrest in the Tupac murder case along with the decision of California's Governor Gavin Newsom to pick a black woman to fill a Senate seat. We also dive into the sensitive debate around whether it's okay to spy on our children, and the possible implications it could have on trust and privacy.Now, let's switch lanes a bit. Picture yourself sipping a glass of 2021 Oceanica, a white wine from Spain's vineyards with acidic and citrusy notes, while we browse through the latest in pop culture. Get comfy, and join us in our lively discussion on the new season of Love is Blind and the engaging book series, Wayside School. We'll also take a trip down memory lane as we remember the days of owning hundreds of CDs and relate it to the modern-day experience of curating personalized playlists. Ever wondered what it's like to experience Disneyland through the eyes of a child?

We'll also delve into the importance of open discussions about grades and the varying challenges posed by different subjects.

Can you imagine having to climb thirty flights of stairs every day to get to class? Man, the kids in Mrs. Jewls's class must have well toned quads and cardiovascular systems of steel. They also count out of order, read upside down, fall out of the window, smile for no reason, sell their toes, and turn mosquito bites into math.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: A Voting Puzzle, Some Political Science, and a Nerd Failure Mode, published by ChrisHallquist on the LessWrong. In grade school, I read a series of books titled Sideways Stories from Wayside School by Louis Sachar, who you may know as the author of the novel Holes which was made into a movie in 2003. The series included two books of math problems, Sideways Arithmetic from Wayside School and More Sideways Arithmetic from Wayside School, the latter of which included the following problem (paraphrased): The students have Mrs. Jewl's class have been given the privilege of voting on the height of the school's new flagpole. She has each of them write down what they think would be the best hight for the flagpole. The votes are distributed as follows: 1 student votes for 6 feet. 1 student votes for 10 feet. 7 students vote for 25 feet. 1 student votes for 30 feet. 2 students vote for 50 feet. 2 students vote for 60 feet. 1 student votes for 65 feet. 3 students vote for 75 feet. 1 student votes for 80 feet, 6 inches. 4 students vote for 85 feet. 1 student votes for 91 feet. 5 students vote for 100 feet. At first, Mrs. Jewls declares 25 feet the winning answer, but one of the students who voted for 100 feet convinces her there should be a runoff between 25 feet and 100 feet. In the runoff, each student votes for the height closest to their original answer. But after that round of voting, one of the students who voted for 85 feet wants their turn, so 85 feet goes up against the winner of the previous round of voting, and the students vote the same way, with each student voting for the height closest to their original answer. Then the same thing happens again with the 50 foot option. And so on, with each number, again and again, "very much like a game of tether ball." Question: if this process continues until it settles on an answer that can't be beaten by any other answer, how tall will the new flagpole be? Answer (rot13'd): fvkgl-svir srrg, orpnhfr gung'f gur zrqvna inyhr bs gur bevtvany frg bs ibgrf. Naq abj lbh xabj gur fgbel bs zl svefg rapbhagre jvgu gur zrqvna ibgre gurberz. Why am I telling you this? There's a minor reason and a major reason. The minor reason is that this shows it is possible to explain little-known academic concepts, at least certain ones, in a way that grade schoolers will understand. It's a data point that fits nicely with what Eliezer has written about how to explain things. The major reason, though, is that a month ago I finished my systematic read-through of the sequences and while I generally agree that they're awesome (perhaps moreso than most people; I didn't see the problem with the metaethics sequence), I thought the mini-discussion of political parties and voting was on reflection weak and indicative of a broader nerd failure mode. TLDR (courtesy of lavalamp): Politicians probably conform to the median voter's views. Most voters are not the median, so most people usually dislike the winning politicians. But people dislike the politicians for different reasons. Nerds should avoid giving advice that boils down to "behave optimally". Instead, analyze the reasons for the current failure to behave optimally and give more targeted advice. Advance warning for heavy US slant, at least in terms of examples, though the theory is applicable everywhere. The median voter theorem The median voter theorem was first laid out in a paper by Duncan Black titled "On the Rationale of Group Decision-Making," which imagine's a situation very much like Mrs. Jewls' class voting on the flagpole height: a committee passes a motion by majority vote, and then it considers various motions to amend the original motion, each of which itself needs a simple majority to pass. Each member of the committee has preferences over the range of possible motions, and furthermore: Whil...

In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we talk to David Hopen - law student and author of The Orchard - about finding truth in fiction, and particularly in myths.Though fiction and myths are by definition not true, they can still have great significance.

I was a tiny and skinny kid with thick glasses at my public school in the suburbs of Toronto in the early 80s. I was pretty lonely and definitely hadn’t found my way. One day my librarian Ms. Ferrell handed me a book called Sideways Stories from Wayside School by Louis Sachar. The book single-handedly turned me into a reader. I had never read a book that was funny, absurd, choppy that just kept me flipping, flipping, flipping. I loved the book. I fell into the book. I read it again and again and again and still have multiple copies on my bookshelf today. (A small count towards the nine million copies sold.) In 2010 when The Book of Awesome came out I wrote in the Acknowledgements: “To Louis Sachar, for writing Sideways Stories from Wayside School and teaching a nerdy kid to to fall in love with reading.” Louis Sacher was born in East Meadow, New York in 1954 and moved to California when he was 9. He liked school but was not much of a reader until he fell into the works of J.D.Salinger and Kurt Vonnegut. He started studying at Ohio University but left to go move back with his mom after his father sadly passed away in his first semester. Later on he enrolled at Berkeley majoring in Economics. One day, on campus, he caught sight of a young girl passing out flyers. The flyers read: “Help - Teachers Aides Wanted at Hillside Elementary - Earn 3 course credits.” It struck him as a sweet deal. No homework, no term papers, no tests. He signed up. He soon found himself both in the classroom and on the school playground, known to the kids as “Louis the Yard Teacher”. He loved it. And it ended up changing his life. His time at the local public school inspired him to write Sideway Stories from Wayside School. He even named the kids in the book after real kids he taught. It published in 1978 though did not make a loud splash. No fanfare. So Louis went on to Law School and practiced law for 10 years — all the while writing children’s books on the side. His writing finally took off in 1989. He quit law to write full time and is now one of the best known children’s authors in the world. (Although I’m a Sideways junkie he’s probably sold even more copies of Holes which won him both the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature and the Newbery Medal and — no biggie — was made into a giant blockbuster film, too.) I was delighted to sit down with a childhood idol. He called us up from the suburbs of Austin, Texas and we talked about absurdity, wooing readers, drinking urine, literary heroes, celebrity culture, writing structure, The Shawshank Redemption, wrestling with doubt, and how to live a quiet life. Let’s flip the page into Chapter 78 now… What You'll Learn: What kind of reader do writers think about as they write? Are writers still heroes today? What made the 1960s such a special time of upheaval? How do we live a quiet life in today’s world? How can writers maintain humility? How does one separate commercial success from what you do next?  How do authors use their craft to skip time smartly in their work? How do you make a good movie from a book? How do some authors cultivate friendship with their readers? You can find show notes and more information by clicking here: https://www.3books.co/chapters/78  Leave us a voicemail.

Sideways Stories from Wayside School is a book that is funny, sweet, and it has been read for decades. I love this series for younger kids, and I still reread it! These books tell the story of Mrs. Jewel’s class, and their school that was built the opposite way it should have been. I enjoy the humor, the creative chapters, and the unique writing voice Louis Sachar gives the books. Have a great week!

“The builder said he was very sorry” writes Louis Sachar in the introduction to his children's book, where instead of building a school one-story high with thirty classrooms, he ends up building a thirty stories high Wayside School with one classroom per floor. Readers discover that, none the less, the stories from such a strange and silly place are simply delightful.Similarly, however challenging it is to raise complex kids wired for impulsivity, disorganization, neediness, disengagement, and occasional resistance, it can also be a great source of immense joy, pride, and gratitude. And their stories of courage can invoke hope for many to create harmony in shared spaces.On this episode author, parent educator, certified coach, co-founder of ImpactADHD.com, and a co-creator of Sanity School®, Elaine Taylor-Klaus, discusses how parenting is a daily exercise in letting go.

As always, we’re offering some novel pairings—this time with classic kid lit or YA books and contemporary adult reads.  You can find the SSR Podcast wherever you download your podcast episodes.

Every once in a while, Alli has to share what she *really* thinks is going to be an unpopular opinion on the podcast. Well, this is one of those times. Without any nostalgic attachment to Louis Sachar's Sideways Stories from Wayside School, she's not quite sure how to feel about it… but you'll have to tune in for all the details! On this episode, you'll hear Alli and her guest Katie Cragwall discuss their favorite things about the book's format/structure, the way it shows its age with respect to name-calling, the extent to which the author was “in on the joke” in writing these stories, and how the book flies in the face of their rule-following natures!

Books provide entertainment, education, comfort, and a sense of connection during uncertain times. “We’re all so isolated in our little individual homes and whatnot, but reading offers me a sense of connection to a larger community than just myself,” book lover and Subtext Books manager Matt Kelliher said during a recent conversation on MPR News with Kerri Miller. “That’s what I’m gravitating to: stories that help me relate to others.” Fellow book lover and Twin Cities-based editor and copy writer Anitra Budd has been giving books about disease outbreaks a second look. For example, Budd was recently reading a book about how the so-called “Z-bug” epidemic changed the lives of characters in the book “Jakarta,” by Rodrigo Márquez Tizano. “I had started it before everything happened and then it was there and I was like, ‘I think I should finish it because, I don’t know, maybe this will help?’” she said. “It didn’t help.” Budd clarified that it’s an amazing book. But she said while reading about pandemics and dystopia may be just the ticket for some readers, it didn’t work for her. “I completely recommend it when we are past this. Maybe don’t read it now,” she said with a laugh.Beyond that, she says, she’s drawn toward books to enjoy with her children, specifically the “Wayside School” series from Louis Sachar. “I consider those classics,” Budd said. “I loved those books as a kid. ... I am just sort of like gobbling those down.” Listeners called in and tweeted their recommendations: Fiction: “The Best Bad Things” - Katrina Carrasco “In the Distance” - Hernan Diaz “Middlemarch” - George Eliot, the pen name of Mary Ann Evans Louise Erdrich’s, “LaRose;” “The Plague of Doves;” and “The Round House.” “Tess of the d'Urbervilles” - Thomas Hardy “What Happens In Paradise” - Elin Hilderbrand “News of the World” - Paulette Jiles “The Tender Land” - William Kent Krueger “Whiskey When We’re Dry” - John Larison “Wittgenstein’s Mistress” - David Markson The “Wolf Hall Trilogy” by Hilary Mantel “Deep River” - Karl Marlantes “The Darwin Affair” - Tim Mason “1984” - George Orwell “Animal Farm” - George Orwell “True Grit” - Charles Portis The “Harry Potter” series by J.K. Rowling “Lincoln in the Bardo” - George Saunders “Station 11” - Emily St. John Mandel “The Glass Hotel” - Emily St. John Mandel “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy by J. R. R. Tolkien “A Gentleman in Moscow” - Amor Towles “Cat’s Cradle” - Kurt Vonnegut “Tom Robbins” - Kurt Vonnegut “I Hotel” - Karen Tei Yamashita The forthcoming novel, “The End of October” - Lawrence Wright, author of “The Looming Tower” Poetry “Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude” - Ross Gay “The Book of Delights” - Ross Gay Non-Fiction “Leadership: In Turbulent Times” - Doris Kearns Goodwin “Braiding Sweetgrass” - Robin Wall Kimmerer “The Splendid and the Vile: A Saga of Churchill, Family, and Defiance During the Blitz” - Erik Larson “Born a Crime” - Trevor Noah “Recollections of My Non-Existence” - Rebecca Solnit What books are you turning to?

Martina read this book yesterday and wanted to include it in our podcast series. Wayside School is a series of books written by Louis Sachar and published by HarperTrophy. Usually they are a collection of interesting and funny stories about an elementary school called Wayside School. The first book was called Wayside School is Falling Down.

Welcome to Kid Power Radio. I’m your host Max and each week I review what’s happening on TV, at the movies, books and music I like ….You get the idea  In the Nickelodeon news... I saw a show called Back at the Barnyard and was really cool. I haven’t finished watching it yet but the stuff I did see was funny. Let me tell you the story line. There is this cow whose name is Otis. He lives on a farm. He and his animal buddies can talk but to people it’s just a plain moo, or cluck, or oink. Otis and his buddies don’t like humans so they pull pranks on them. That’s all I’m going to tell you. Now you should go watch it and see what happens. This week on Cartoon Network...  I have tivo and what it does is records t.v. shows for you. It taped a new Ben 10 for me but, I haven’t got a chance to watch it. Next week I’ll tell you all about it.  Name That Tune.   No one emailed me so the answer was Caught Up by Usher Here’s this week... In the book news... I read a series of books called Wayside School They are so funny. They are written by Louis Sachar. They are great books. Their names are... 1. Wayside School is falling down         2. Wayside School gets a little stranger 3. Stories from Wayside School I suggest you read them.  In the birthday news... It’s my birthday this Wednesday. I had my neighborhood party and it was the coolest thing ever. I got so many presents. From my cousin I got this Simpson’s puzzle. Easy right? WRONG. It’s 1000 pieces. My parents are working on it now.  Funny Wacky Packy of the week... And the winner is Slob Way. Instead of SubWay. Who will be next week?  Listener Question...  I got  emails this week from Peter and Helen. Thanks everyone for sending in emails. You all are now official members of the Kid Power Radio Street Team. Your job is to tell all your friends about the show and if they email me they could get a special shout out just like you did.  Remember, you can email me at RADIO STAR MAX at YAHOO.COM That’s it for now.
