Indeed …

… A Liberal Decalogue: Bertrand Russell's 10 Commandments of Teaching | Brain Pickings. (Hat tip, Rus Bowden.)

  1. I saw attributed to Russell the advice "Let them fornicate, so that they can keep their minds on algebra." If the saw is Russell's he may have been generalizing too far from his own experience: from what I remember of my high school classmates, there was no correlation between rate of fornication and mastery of algebra.

  2. I haven't noticed any correlation between sex and algebra, either, though I know which I prefer.
