Your tax dollars at work!

2018-07-31 02:42:09 UTC  

Yeah i mean its not challenging to challenge a standard that has been challenged a million times outside of for practice

2018-07-31 02:42:21 UTC  

Letalone be considered great

2018-07-31 02:42:52 UTC  

Yeah, I'm big on the idea of a return to a certain degree of traditionalism in the academic system

2018-07-31 02:43:01 UTC  

Get the standards back.

2018-07-31 02:43:02 UTC  

Its a cycle

2018-07-31 02:44:41 UTC  

Back and forth in an eternal stuggle

2018-07-31 02:45:21 UTC  

But at this point yeeeeeeeah they need to come back in terms of alot of humanities

2018-07-31 02:45:49 UTC  

Music i think is the only one that has really stayed the path of tradition

2018-07-31 02:47:19 UTC  

In terms of academics. Even the newer sort of music classes are about well established traditional standards (at least in modern day with rock and pop classes and degrees becoming a thing)

2018-07-31 02:48:48 UTC  

Its great because the musical equivalent of postmodernism is actually extremely well defined in terms of rules that have been established and codified in tradition

2018-07-31 02:48:57 UTC  

Unlike its visual art counterpart

2018-07-31 02:49:08 UTC  

I mean, you'll read classic literature in the English department, but the ultimate goal is always to reach deconstruction and the research is entirely driven by SocJus-type trends.

2018-07-31 02:49:32 UTC  

Actually, that's not quite accurate.

2018-07-31 02:49:51 UTC  

Well not that postmodernism doesnt have a sort of structure

2018-07-31 02:49:52 UTC  

Most of the classic books have been replaced. But there's enough they'll claim they respect the classic canon.

2018-07-31 02:50:16 UTC  

Its just more a negative sort of structure. In the sense of whats left

2018-07-31 02:50:49 UTC  

Have you guys seen the postmodern generator

2018-07-31 02:50:51 UTC  

Yeah i have a bud doing an english literature/education double major at the uni iblive by

2018-07-31 02:50:55 UTC  

Yes

2018-07-31 02:51:02 UTC  

it generates papers it's hilarious

2018-07-31 02:51:11 UTC  

XD yeah its pretty funny

2018-07-31 02:51:27 UTC  

A student once got a paper peer reviewed, called "The conceptual penis"

2018-07-31 02:51:34 UTC  

it directly cited the post modern generator

2018-07-31 02:51:48 UTC  

And hes told me the horror stories of his SocJus class and the approach of most of his teachers

2018-07-31 02:52:03 UTC  

XD yeah ive seen that lol

2018-07-31 02:52:13 UTC  

One of my cousins had to take a "Feminist Poetry" class as a gen-ed requirement

2018-07-31 02:52:19 UTC  

Phallogocentrism strikes again!!!

2018-07-31 02:52:20 UTC  

She hated it, thank goodness

2018-07-31 02:53:08 UTC  

XD praise kuthuluuuu

2018-07-31 02:53:12 UTC  

Yeah, I *really* want to clean up the unis. The humanities have no purpose if they are only going to serve as a recruiting grounds for activists.

2018-07-31 02:54:00 UTC  

If there's no chance of getting a profitable job from a degree, or teaching something meaningful (because music is actually important, imo), then the degree should be scrapped

2018-07-31 02:54:01 UTC  

Yeah or to propagate fucking propaganda and misinformation

2018-07-31 02:55:04 UTC  

XD yeah good u threw that in for music or else thered be no need for music degrees lol

2018-07-31 02:55:24 UTC  

Good luck trying to find a music job out of a UNI lol its fucking hard

2018-07-31 02:55:31 UTC  

Well, that and my mother did music education for her first degree

2018-07-31 02:55:55 UTC  

She's told every one of her students to pursue a second degree alongside music

2018-07-31 02:56:20 UTC  

Better spend that time trying to find one than spend it doing a degree if you dont intend on working in a school of sorts

2018-07-31 02:56:41 UTC  

Wise lady

2018-07-31 02:56:59 UTC  

Unfortunately, her students haven't been so wise, historically.

2018-07-31 02:57:03 UTC  

Most haven't taken her advice
