I have to add a pause at the end of saying Aluminum

2018-08-28 20:31:12 UTC  

No expects you to actatually throw a book at them

2018-08-28 20:33:01 UTC  

Ignore the scene before the relevant quote

2018-08-28 20:33:08 UTC  

Requires previous scenes to make sense.

2018-08-28 20:33:22 UTC  

Also watch the whole thing. Scroobius Pip is awesome.

2018-08-28 20:34:03 UTC  

Sat in a van with a co-worker and his Daughter while waiting for the others to show up for a team building event, the duaghter got snarky so I warned her... He told me to do it. She didn't think i would, and then I pegged her in the face with a pocket sized note book.

2018-08-28 20:35:02 UTC  

Was the co-worker okay with it afterwards? 😛

2018-08-28 20:35:35 UTC  

He was laughing, he had seen the book in my hand before as well

2018-08-28 20:35:35 UTC  

i think they should start teaching philisophy in the us and canada

2018-08-28 20:35:53 UTC  

obligatory for middle and high school

2018-08-28 20:36:26 UTC  

They don't even teach the things they teach effectively. There's not much worse than poor, self-certain philosophy.

2018-08-28 20:37:00 UTC  

philisophy widens the perception of the young ones

2018-08-28 20:37:12 UTC  

they will understand science an the world better

2018-08-28 20:37:24 UTC  

Not if the teacher's just using the opportunity to indoctrinate them into their own philosophy.

2018-08-28 20:37:38 UTC  

Which is absolutely likely to happen.

2018-08-28 20:37:49 UTC  

It happens in University all the time.

2018-08-28 20:37:52 UTC  

education in the us and canada has failed

2018-08-28 20:38:01 UTC  

Agreed.

2018-08-28 20:38:03 UTC  

ive heard that even the open education in mexico has higher standards

2018-08-28 20:38:30 UTC  

There are people in my own generation that think that Socialism might actually work.

2018-08-28 20:39:15 UTC  

Lets be honest, the powers that be don't want to teach critical thinking skills to the young. They want students to be spoon fed what to think

2018-08-28 20:39:22 UTC  

^ ^ ^

2018-08-28 20:39:42 UTC  

yet, the powers that be import brains from places where they still teach those skills

2018-08-28 20:40:06 UTC  

It's far more valuable, and far easier to work with, for a population to just agree with the loudest voice.

2018-08-28 20:40:13 UTC  

cookie cutter kids.

2018-08-28 20:40:47 UTC  

colleges are now like jungle gyms

2018-08-28 20:41:01 UTC  

mental jungle gyms

2018-08-28 20:41:12 UTC  

like climb where ever

2018-08-28 20:41:27 UTC  

be what ever, doesnt matter if is real or not theres foam everywhere

2018-08-28 20:41:53 UTC  

I use to have the job of telling those that outrank me when they are full of shit... I was considered a critical staff member in the army

2018-08-28 20:42:02 UTC  

Well, for starters, College isn't about learning to think for yourself

2018-08-28 20:42:17 UTC  

Tim's basically right, School in general is designed to train you to be an employee

2018-08-28 20:42:28 UTC  

And not an Employer.

2018-08-28 20:43:47 UTC  

I mean, there are some professions that are employable without employers

2018-08-28 20:44:00 UTC  

but most doctors wind up working for a hospital or a clinic

2018-08-28 20:44:07 UTC  

Most lawyers wind up working under a partnership

2018-08-28 20:44:38 UTC  

Engineers wind up working for a firm, same with Architects.

2018-08-28 20:45:04 UTC  

In a sense, Corporatism crushes Exceptionalism.

2018-08-28 20:45:34 UTC  

And what we're headed towards seems to either be more corporatism, or a kneejerk Socialism.

2018-08-28 20:46:31 UTC  

Authoritative voices need to be drowned out by individualistic ones, but the only way to do that is to get more people to think for themselves
