Mark Hamilton (2)

While some parts of Hamilton's book Neothink: Superpuzzle get very repetitious and tedious, and I am not entirely convinced that he has captured real human psychology very well in his book sometimes, Hamilton introduces a lot of great ideas, many also championed by Ayn Rand. However, hamilton presents these ideas in a far less confrontational and far more approachable manner. I really liked his model for education, though I think he and Rand and many other reformational thinkers show more underestimate the capacity of adults for education. I love Hamilton's educational model, but it need not be applied only towards children. Imagine what the world would be like if adults could do adult-education modules along the same lines as Hamilton's 12 fictional children enjoyed. Still, ideological debates aside, Neothink was a good book, well worth reading, and especially for anyone still ruminating over Ayn Rand's books and ideas. show less
