It's why I know I will connect well. I joined because I am sick of clown world and I don't think I have the right to complain if I don't at least try and do something
At least if I lost I know I put my foot down and said no more
thats because you dont actually believe in absurdism my dude
either that or you're on the Kierkegaard end
I believe that people can and will be absurd if allowed to be
"People will only do what they are allowed to get away with"
Absurdism is what the clown world meme refers to, which is the notion that rather than being based on predictable systems, the fact of the matter is that reality is simply absurd
Kierkegaard figured the solution was, to my knowledge, religious hierarchy. What people are latching onto is the Camus view, which is that you have to embrace the absurd
Well the world is predictable in that people will do dumb things if allowed to do so by society
the idea being that the attempt to apply meaning or systems to absurdity puts you atn odds with reality. The issue with this is that rolling with the absurdity is arguably what got us into this mess
sure, and Id say people do dumb things in predictable ways
Which means reality isn't absurd as much as the corrective action(s) have not been taken
that's actually a sizeable chunk of psychological research
¿Why is vc quiet?
Call in show is wednesday.
Well it is pretty late
Also that
Or do you guys usually talk regardless?
I'm listening to the show and doing work on my home network, specifically the fuckaround server
Sorry, I meant the "not trying to get on the show" vc's...
Good stuff, and again, good luck with that. Maritimes have been getting the short end of the stick for too long. Give em hell
if tuition is free, what do you need Pell grants for?
the tuition thing is dumb because the issue isnt that college is needed
the issue is that people are basically overeducated for most jobs and in debt, but the jobs theyd want are "full"
because nobody wants to go into trades
Yes
or tech even
people go into tech and then stay in the city
they will pay through the nose for tech out in smaller towns/cities
Even professions like engineering has unnecessary classes
college culture has made it worse
if testing for jobs were allowed anymore, you wouldn't need college. they stopped it cuz "it's wayciss"
well it's also that people dont know what they want
Yes.
I know comp sci majors. I tell them the jobs I apply for (network admin, security, devops) often ask for a bachelor in comp sci. They think thats absurd, because it is
Lots go into college with no plan and they waste money trying to figure it out
theyre learning how to make fucking drivers. My job would be doing scripts to work on already created software so I dont have to do it manually every time. Otherwise it's punching numbers in
I mean employers
not students
people doing hiring dont know what they want
