Sample text

When I looked for work, I didn’t talk about my education at all. I approached my career like an adventure, accepting work that led to other work and built on itself. I could have been a PhD from Harvard, or a high school dropout, nobody knew either way. It was a fun experiment to see the assumptions people made about my level of education, and also to see how much other people rely on having been educated at a prestigious university for social capital. There has never been a situation in which I needed to prove that I have a degree to get work.

It was just like what I found out about learning from experts on mailing lists. People like to talk about what they know. Working as a journalist, I found the secret for getting people to teach you anything. The best way to get someone to tell you what they know is to share your own knowledge, too. By then I had this peripatetic knowledge set that went all around technology and technological culture and history and even marine mammals. I thought about it as a kind of a trade. I could always leverage something I knew into something I didn’t.

I had to understand the safety and security issues. My life was taken over by trying to understand the interlocking systems involved. When you start to tackle something new, it’s tempting to start with the granular details, but for me it’s more effective to start understanding the system in which the thing itself operates. Mapping things out is really helpful. Categorizing components and striving to be rational, to overcome natural emotional responses is critical. The nuclear industry evokes fear of danger, but it’s so much more complicated than that.
