Thanks for posting this link. I'm actually kind of curious to check out his book. It looks like it just came out so I'm guessing no one here has read it yet. One thing that caught my eye was in the Amazon description it mentions him suggesting that kids shouldn't learn times tables. Any ideas why?
I think knowing the basic 2-10 tables is very useful. Although I do get that understanding multiplication as addition of groups, learning how to actually solve and/or break down problems into independent, easier to solve ones can actually be faster and is likely a better life skill. But I feel like these things should be in addition to memorizing the basic times tables.
Aren't thyroid hormones, TUEs, and intimidating USATF officials just another form of "lateral thinking"?

From the article, "The only hard line we ought to draw, at the end of the day, is a question that has little to do with profits: Is it ethical?"

Probably because it's one more hollow, stereotypical, unoriginal, non-falsifiable thing he can say in an effort to sell a book.
He's one more loudmouth eager to use overused and wrongly used terms like "critical thinking" and "lateral thinking." The American Revolution is a result of "lateral thinking"? As if rebelling against tyrannical authority was a novel concept in human history? Right.
And it's pretty sad that in order to give an example of "thinking outside the box," he has to go back to the example of Fosbury, almost half a century old, in his lede. And h gives a dishonest presentation. Fosbury deserves *huge* credit for changing the event and becoming successful, but the author's framing implies that Fosbury was basically a cripple who would have stood no chance of even competing at the high-school level if he'd stuck to the old technique.
All in all just the usual fluff you'd expect from someone who, if he has any wisdom at all, has concealed it very well.
