Oddbean new post about login | logout +1. Shakespeare was taught at my woke government school. They wouldn’t allow a book on their curriculum that would actually make people think. These books, especially Ayn Rand have been incredibly valuable to me. It took me 30 years to find it.
Sounds like your woke government school taught Shakespeare wrong, or at least deeply insufficiently. Shakespeare traditionally not taught in anything resembling woke, but some scholars in the last probably 25 or 30 years or so have tried to narrow him in that way. Don’t give up on him. You might find him even more interesting/constructive now as an adult with the economic grounding you now have.
