Keep Alive
Oh man I better blog before I go too long without blogging.
I wonder why the AFC systematically wins the super bowl, but from about 1983 - 1997 the NFC systematically won the super bowl. I'm pretty sure it's not just random.
Relatedly, the same person going to Princeton will be more ambitious, study harder, and get a better job than if they go to Ohio State. Even if subsequent employers never read resumes, and classes are all worthless. I feel like I see this frequently. It's a shame to pay so much money for a psychological effect, but at least it's something. Easier to believe this than believe you pay for the diploma when it seems fairly obvious that most future employers don't care.
Ambitious people rise to meet their context. AFC teams tell themselves "We need the next Peyton Manning." NFC teams tell themselves "We just need to go 8 and 8 next year and we'll make the playoffs."
Too much time at a job you don't like, and you'll turn into them.
