Two days ago, Bryan Caplan posted this.
It's quite similar to a post I wrote a couple of years ago.
I've known about Caplan's book The Case Against Education for years, and I knew his basic argument before I wrote my post. I can see the influence of his ideas on my own thinking, and I often anticipate how he will react to something. I typically know his argument based on the title of his post before I even read it. And I can guess with disturbing accuracy what he's linking to when he adds hypertext. I hover my cursor over the link and, yep, it's exactly the post I thought he would reference. I grok you, Bryan Caplan!
And yet he still manages to completely surprise me at times.
