“Getting your hands dirty on practical problems is a useful thing. That’s one. Second I would say is to really encourage the liberal arts. We do a horrible job at that and it’s getting worse. There is nothing more fundamental to creative problem-solving than having a broad spectrum view of the world. You don’t get that unless you are exposed to many forms of human endeavour and we absolutely don’t value that. We don’t value most things other than purely vocational education. That’s got to change. Humanities seem really distant from startups, but they’re not.”
