Comment on How Does This Not Blow Your Mind?

Comments

I really hate titles that don't say anything about the topic, sadly they are more and more frequent on HN, I now stopped reading or upvoting those posts and I hope more people will do the same to these attention seekers

I am sorry about that.

Sorry enough to change the title?

What do you think the title should be?

It needs to mention two important facts:

1. the students are self-guided 2. you have built a theory based on your observations

I'd suggest, for example:

"How is your mind not blown by students who seem to succeed through self-guidance?"

I've thought about it a bit. I realize the title is annoying on Hacker News, but I think the title is ok within the general context of my blog for those who read it regularly.

I'll think about another title, and I'm sorry (sort-of as I've enjoyed the debate here) for the sensationalist title on Hacker News, but I don't think it's a huge deal outside of this specific context...
