university economics departments are *super fucking neoliberal*, though

and i can probably do much more good as a chemist

Definitely depends on the department and classes you take

There's definitely some socialists in economics departments you just need to pick your uni carefully

i'm in texas, and i'm going to try and get into a school in texas, so there are some setbacks there

you see, my dad's an iraq vet so i get some college hours free as long as they're in the state

Ah right

and i'm going to try and get into a fairly bourgie school, so i need to get fuckton of scholarships, and it's easier to get stem scholarships from what i can tell

and i fucking love atoms

Fair play, take chem

chemistry is surprisingly good at helping explain dialectical materialism.

Huh, now I think about it yeah

I can see how it would

particularly unity of opposites and quantitative additions or subtractions causing qualitative alterations

i mean, that's how it was explained to me

See I'm post grad sociology

sociology departments are based as hell

The amount of opportunities open to me seem really thin

So hopefully I find some academic niche I can flourish in

i mean, that goes for most social science stuff

I'd like to keep reading Mark Fisher if I can

I'm a bit obsessed with him at the moment

just looked him up

he apparently takes inspiration from NME

i'm in love

He made some really cool mixes on soundcloud

he committed suicide last year

that sucks ass

yeah, it sucks to think that

he had so much to say and he'll never get to say it

just as he was really coming into his thought

and it's hard to read him the same way now

mark was the first theorist i not only agreed the fuck with, but somebody who could put into words the things i thought better than i could

i know this is painfully cliche, but i really want to see what nietzsche would've done had he not collapsed into madness

he seems to be in a similar ballpark

at least in the "being stunted before hitting full potential"

oh yeah, and i'm partial to post-punk, so now i'm even more bummed.

started flipping through, holy shit is he a good writer

I'm not very sympathetic to psychiatry and psychology

So reading Mark was sort of
