This is the concept of Byzantine faults

I think most Buddhist traditions are “non theistic.” This is different from atheism and theism, in that it essentially says “Even if God exists, God is mostly if not completely beside the point. The point is relying on yourself to save yourself.”

Ummmm I’m homeless. I love my life.

The approach you’re taking by inviting us to ask “What is Purdue doing right” is the exact methodology evangelized in the book “The Power of Positive Deviance.” Essentially, find the successful outliers, and see if you can apply the success technique elsewhere. The book mentions that one of their difficulties (in using their approach) is that other people and organizations don’t often want to adopt the success technique for various reasons. They found that by encouraging the successful people and organizations to spread the message as peers (or even bottom up) it worked better than trying to coach others into success (from the top down). Thanks for highlighting Purdue!

I think in a similar way this could also lower the barrier of entry into screenwriting.

That seems like a long time to me. I wonder how long it takes to learn other frameworks.

For whatever reason, it seems common to present one’s interpretation of scripture as if the author has the definitive authority on the topic. This example is particularly ironic because the topic is the antichrist. If it’s a satire, it’s a good one.
