Shoveling shit! Ingenious. I loved Lipton's analogy today. Postman says we're surrounded by too much information, which is not really a positive thing. Sure we might have random bits of knowledge, but unless we are to take on roles and do something with all the information we receive, than it's useless. Lipton called this useless information 'shit.' There's a lot of 'shit' in our own learning, and he hopes he has provided us with the shovels to shove out the shit out, and decipher what information is worth reflecting on. Lipton seems to have perfected his shoveling. He said he will grade the beauty of our shovel; meaning, he's deciding on whether we are interesting people or not, based on the information we've chosen talk about and analyze.
I guess my last question to Lipton will be, "So, how's my shovel looking?"
