tasmlab Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Hi everybody, I've started my own blog and podcast site so I can produce some of my own content and join the conversation. Check it out if you wish and like my FB page if it makes sense for you. The main topics will be on education, homeschooling and anarchy/libertarian topics. Like all new blogs, I haven't proven that I can stick with it. So wish me luck and discipline. Thanks! http://www.fivehundredyears.org 2
Matt D Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 This is great, Jeff! God knows the world needs more voices like yours. Where does "Five Hundred Years" come from?
tasmlab Posted May 1, 2015 Author Posted May 1, 2015 This is great, Jeff! God knows the world needs more voices like yours. Where does "Five Hundred Years" come from? Thanks! I bought the URL years ago. I was talking to a friend who is a cosmologist studying gravity waves and asked him how long before there would be a practical application of his science. He said "about 500 years." It seemed to apply to ideas like atheism and anarchism too, at least at some large time scale. Plus I thought it sounded cool. 1
tasmlab Posted January 14, 2016 Author Posted January 14, 2016 Update: In addition to finishing my 11th podcast, I've published a book on making the decision to homeschool/unschool: And I contributed to another book on unschooling: http://fivehundredyears.org/books-2/
tasmlab Posted June 2, 2016 Author Posted June 2, 2016 I have a new podcast up. Check it out: http://fivehundredyears.org/podcast-the-curse-of-the-busybody-conformist-consumers/ In this episode, I discuss how being constantly ‘busy’ is probably a bad thing and that most people don’t properly balance their time with their consumption and life changes. I try to make the case that being “acceptably busy” is a conformist notion that has spread to every aspect of people’s lives. I steal a clip of Tim Ferriss. I also bizarrely get into the documentary “Lost Boys” about relocated Africans. As always, I take a shot at school and homework. I also explore alternate, more desirable consumption/time models that people might want to think about.
