“When a 14 year old kid can blow up your business in his
spare time, not because he hates you but
because he loves you, then you got a problem.”

27. What do we do with this?

28. Chris Avenir

29. Ryerson University sites 3 reasons for
the case against him.
1.Learning should be hard.
2.There is no structure of regulation
for online behavior and that makes it
incompatible with academic work.
3.It is our job to protect academic
integrity from any threat.
i.e. Unless learning is hard and is directed by others, it
fails to meet the standard for academic rigor.
Chris Avenir

I’m appearing to accept an
odious premise—namely,

as a means to the end of
better academic
performance. Not so:
It’s an end in itself.

154. "The pursuit of happiness is not a solitary goal," said James Fowler, a researcher
at the University of California, San Diego. "We are connected,
and so is our joy."
The study, published in December 2008 in the British Medical Journal, suggests that living near a
friend who becomes happy increases
the probability of a person becoming
cheerful by 25 per cent.
