THAT is a history lesson every business student learns and . . . they seem to find learning history is useful.
Maybe we are teaching it wrong, or at the wrong time or to the wrong people
but you know, and I know that history is valuable
and keeping it alive as a academic field
is the only way we can make use of that value.
It would probably be very helpful if everyday policy makers in Colombia (and voters and the general population) knew the history lesson I just learned from Grok.
Whaddaya think?
Wait until the violence starts and then tell Colombians “go read a book?”
The violence never stopped.
They don’t teach FARC history in Colombian schools.
I’ll give ONE guess how they teach intro to psychology
(which is useful to techers, businesspeople, managers, enterprenuers, socila workers cops and more.)
It usually starts with the case of Phineas Gage.
In 1848, while working on the Rutland and Burlington Railroad in Vermont, 25-year-old Phineas Gage suffered a horrific accident. A large iron rod—over 3 feet long and weighing around 13 pounds—was driven through his skull due to an explosion while he was tamping down gunpowder. . . .
He lost part of his brain.
Not the part that lets him move his arms and legs, (he could still do that.)
Not the part that could let him talk or think or do business, (he could still do that). But his behavior changed, he started . . . . . .
Twelve years later, in 1861, the famous French physician Pierre Paul Broca saw one of his most famous patients who also . . . .
Finally, in 1933 Dr. Spafford Ackery described the case of a 19-year-old man he named only as “JP.” JP had a cyst in the same part of his brain, and as the cyst grew he began to . . . .
Why do you think they teach it (psychology) that way (Using the historical approach)?
Would teachers and busnes people, and cops and social workers and doctors etc. all be better off if we stopped teaching history? It sure seemed a useful way for them to learn their trade.
Why?
…
I don’t need to guess. That’s not how mine started.
To waste time.
so woman can do grunt work if directed by men.

Yea I do, I have seen women run circles around men when it comes to hard work. I have worked with women at the steel mill, warehouses, construction sites. Are they as strong in general, no, but they figure out ways to overcome. So, no he is wrong to generalize like he has.
I’d have to speculate, but probably for the same reason
that in econ they teach
Pretty helpful information, huh?
Lack of air conditioning, being in direct sunlight… perspiring! 
While the women who picked up the slack during WWII were commendable, they only did what their male bosses told them to do.
No true. Besides, in any case, the building would not occur without the design. The creativity is in the design, not in the putting together of the pieces.
Sometimes they’re too creative.
Anyone who has changed a crank position sensor on a Nissan VG33E V6 agrees with me.
I think what offends me on that job in particular is that Japanese engineers are usually fairly considerate of the guys who have to work on those cars after the fact, unlike their American or god forbid German counterparts. But that was one time where they totally dropped the ball. Having to remove an exhaust manifold to change a commonly failed sensor is some straight ■■■■■■■■■
I think automobile engineers are a special breed. Many of them seem to go out of their way to torture mechanics. It probably started years ago when a mechanic called an engineer stupid for making things difficult to repair and the engineer came back with, “oh yeah? If you thought that was difficult, try this!” 
And I’m not so sure about the Japanese auto engineers either. To replace a burned-out headlight on the right side on my Tacoma, you have to disconnect the washer fluid reservoir and then, if you have small hands, you can just barely get enough purchase on the rubber cover to remove it. And then the lamp is held in place with a wire spring that you cannot see how it operates and if it comes out accidentally, you cannot see how it fits back in. And adjusting headlight alignment is even worse. The reservoir has to come clear out and on the left side the battery has to be moved. Remember in the old days the adjustment screw was accessible from the front without even having to take off the headlight trim?
No, I’m not wrong.
To fill in time.
It is true. I agree about the design being the creativity.
I too remember when changing a spark plug didn’t involve removing 10 other parts.
