I don't want level, that's shit, I wanna be able to not work one day.
I want movement, thriving, life that is questioned and vibrant with a relied source of income.

2017-02-28 04:09:47 UTC  

also, it's kind of hard to use the socratic method with a person who is unwilling to participate

2017-02-28 04:10:13 UTC  

That's the big thing.
If a person isn't willing to debate then don't debate them.

2017-02-28 04:10:35 UTC  

In that situation they usually only listen to "authority"
In which case I'd recommend becoming and authority of some kind.

2017-02-28 04:11:29 UTC  

sadly that's most people

2017-02-28 04:11:55 UTC  

Well, I've yet to meet a girl who can debate using rationality.
And as far as men go it's a very small minority.

2017-02-28 04:12:19 UTC  

hard to escape it. i would say that i want to go into academia, but it's not like it's a huge step up, but at least the platform for debate is more defined at a college that isn't taken over by communists

2017-02-28 04:12:35 UTC  

yes, both sexes are terrible at it

2017-02-28 04:12:42 UTC  

Perhaps, but show me a university that isn't marxist at some point.

2017-02-28 04:12:51 UTC  

some private schools

2017-02-28 04:13:08 UTC  

plus, i'd be willing to go in and combat them, somebody has to keep them from having a monopoly on it

2017-02-28 04:13:19 UTC  

That's a fair point.

2017-02-28 04:13:54 UTC  

inspiring some students can change their minds for the better and add more people to our way of thinking

2017-02-28 04:14:01 UTC  

or to reason, logic, etc

2017-02-28 04:14:28 UTC  

And it'd be good to break the echo chamber a bit.
Though I'm quite sure that if I expressed many of my views I'd be... unwelcome.

2017-02-28 04:14:55 UTC  

yeah, the only way to get in is to lay low till you get tenure

2017-02-28 04:15:14 UTC  

i've spoken with professors who have done that, it's kind of the only way i think

2017-02-28 04:15:17 UTC  

Or get independence and go controversial in a big way.

2017-02-28 04:15:37 UTC  

hard to do that in a school with opposite views, it's a fast way to get fired

2017-02-28 04:16:12 UTC  

Nah, I mean like get economic independence from the school and go massively controversial from there.

2017-02-28 04:16:22 UTC  

ah, right

2017-02-28 04:16:52 UTC  

Molyneaux and that brand are probably the only real examples I can think of.

2017-02-28 04:17:11 UTC  

yeah, i don't have the personality for it

2017-02-28 04:17:13 UTC  

fucking niggers

2017-02-28 04:17:29 UTC  

i think i'd be happier doing research and teaching students

2017-02-28 04:17:58 UTC  

I'm good at convincing people and performing.
Fuck it, I should go full Julius Evola.

2017-02-28 04:18:45 UTC  

i'm good at convincing people of things in a 1 on 1 format, or small group

2017-02-28 04:19:25 UTC  

There's a performative element to public speaking.
You basically need to be both actor and authority on the subject.

2017-02-28 04:19:49 UTC  

yeah

2017-02-28 04:24:39 UTC  

@Extra Crispy It's OK brah. Only one more day of (fake) black history month

2017-02-28 04:24:53 UTC  

How is black history month?

2017-02-28 04:25:03 UTC  

I imagine it must be annoying.

2017-02-28 04:25:04 UTC  

Because its the shortest month

2017-02-28 04:26:01 UTC  

Eh it's a lot of signaling but nothing too bad if you avoid the main stream media

2017-02-28 04:26:14 UTC  

julius ceaser wuz black

2017-02-28 04:26:16 UTC  

I actually never saw anything this month about it

2017-02-28 04:26:20 UTC  

It's more like the history of peanut butter and the civil rights movement

2017-02-28 04:26:27 UTC  

Over and over again

2017-02-28 04:26:33 UTC  

and kangs

2017-02-28 04:26:39 UTC  

Kang history month.

2017-02-28 04:26:42 UTC  

Aztecs made peanut butter
