Yeah

2019-11-01 13:52:38 UTC  

They can't lose their authority, their grip on education, because it means losing their jobs

2019-11-01 13:52:47 UTC  

And then they have nothing because they were taught to be teachers and nothing else

2019-11-01 13:53:04 UTC  

Even though they bastardize the term "teacher" of course

2019-11-01 13:53:22 UTC  

Also, another thing

2019-11-01 13:53:29 UTC  

We should teach learning for sure

2019-11-01 13:53:43 UTC  

I remember that we never, in any of the classes, did warmup, except in sports

2019-11-01 13:53:52 UTC  

But the brain requires warmup

2019-11-01 13:54:06 UTC  

You can't get into complex math right away, you need to ease your brain into it

2019-11-01 13:54:10 UTC  

Get used to counting numbers

2019-11-01 13:54:20 UTC  

Even 5 minutes suffices

2019-11-01 13:54:30 UTC  

Then there's much less pain when the lecture starts

2019-11-01 13:54:43 UTC  

And that results in better learning, because pain hurts the learning process

2019-11-01 13:55:23 UTC  

We know this truth for sports, we know it for musical education

2019-11-01 13:55:32 UTC  

In both of those fields, warmup is essential

2019-11-01 13:55:44 UTC  

It's so essential that it can take up to 15 minutes in some cases

2019-11-01 13:57:09 UTC  

The irony being that the more time efficient our old, outdated education system is being made, the less actual efficiency it has

2019-11-01 13:57:44 UTC  

Even creativity is a matter of warmup

2019-11-01 13:57:55 UTC  

Take the writer's block, most people don't know how to get rid of it

2019-11-01 13:58:09 UTC  

There's a new teaching going around that says to "just write"

2019-11-01 13:58:21 UTC  

Write anything, write the most basic stuff, write even nonsense

2019-11-01 13:58:35 UTC  

As long as you keep writing, you'll eventually start writing better stuff

2019-11-01 13:58:48 UTC  

It's the exact same idea of the warmup

2019-11-01 13:59:58 UTC  

I heard that from one of my favorite comedians a good few years ago

2019-11-01 14:01:06 UTC  

I never heard Bill Burr say that, your taste may be different from mine 😛

Frank Conniff

2019-11-01 14:02:10 UTC  

He was a writer for MST3K

2019-11-01 14:04:30 UTC  

Just looked him up on YT, first comments <:transdank:462401354745249792>

I can't imagine he'd be very good with stand-up at all

2019-11-01 14:06:51 UTC  

Ya I haven't seen anything from him, not trying to roast him just found it funny that this was the first thing I read 😄

2019-11-01 14:07:06 UTC  

Every comedian has haters whether they're good or not

2019-11-01 14:07:47 UTC  

Except Bill, no one hates Bill
SJW's don't count <:pepegun:588019479401726001>

2019-11-01 14:07:51 UTC  

He is more the sort who goes through his material 10-11 times before being willing to release anything, he'd be straight awful at standup

2019-11-01 14:08:06 UTC  

Yeah

2019-11-01 14:08:33 UTC  

Standup is pretty difficult, I only know it wouldn't be for me cause I don't like one-liner comedy

2019-11-01 14:08:54 UTC  

I prefer when people tell stories and weave in jokes

2019-11-01 14:10:06 UTC  

He also did work on Invader Zim and currently is doing the occasional tour where he riffs movies live with Dr. Forester, also from MST3K

2019-11-01 19:57:07 UTC  

I love the American concept of what a "debate" is.
I think these "debates" would benefit from some conservative debate with AR-15s.
Not about. With.

2019-11-01 20:09:26 UTC  

He's the say guy who posted this viral video 9 months ago:

...and also the secret(?) audio recording between him and that nigger professor.
