Even outside of T-Rexes and into raptors and such

2018-11-03 18:56:05 UTC  

We should just create giant chickens instead of dinosaurs, it is easier and close enough.

2018-11-03 18:56:09 UTC  

Ah, right. Tim, now that you're here, what's your position on who should receive preference on things like college admissions?

2018-11-03 18:56:28 UTC  

His stance is pretty well known, it should be based on socioeconomic status not race.

2018-11-03 18:56:57 UTC  

Does no one think they look cool except me?

2018-11-03 18:57:00 UTC  

meritocracy for all admissions

2018-11-03 18:57:02 UTC  

i believe Tims standpoint is basically, the best

But due to richer kids having better access, the poor should be helped to be able to achieve the best too

2018-11-03 18:57:03 UTC  

however

2018-11-03 18:57:20 UTC  

we should have programs for low income areas for education and mentorship to direct people towards certain goals

2018-11-03 18:57:32 UTC  

father figures and mother figures for single parents families

2018-11-03 18:57:37 UTC  

tutoring

2018-11-03 18:57:42 UTC  

yay, i read Tims mind 😄

2018-11-03 18:58:00 UTC  

I knew this mind-reading beanie i downloaded would work

2018-11-03 18:58:03 UTC  

i suggest a good read

2018-11-03 18:58:04 UTC  

all schools should be merit based but low income people need help when they are 5 years old

2018-11-03 18:58:07 UTC  

Right, so we should create government programs to give extra resources to poorer groups.

2018-11-03 18:58:20 UTC  

extra resources?

2018-11-03 18:58:22 UTC  

no, it can derail into dependable community

2018-11-03 18:58:23 UTC  

or just resources

2018-11-03 18:58:35 UTC  

That way they can have advantages rich people don't have, to balance out the resources rich people have but they don't.

2018-11-03 18:58:37 UTC  

that which is given has no value, it must be earned

2018-11-03 18:58:40 UTC  

Resources available for those who need i think

2018-11-03 18:58:40 UTC  

a mentor will not create dependency

2018-11-03 18:58:49 UTC  

no, but a program will

2018-11-03 18:58:56 UTC  

i mean free cash that is

2018-11-03 18:59:00 UTC  

a program to provide father figures to single parent children?

2018-11-03 18:59:06 UTC  

Would a rich single parent household also have access to this mentorship programs?

2018-11-03 18:59:09 UTC  

Well that is the long term solution, that doesn't resolve present disparities between classes. I think applications should be based on the wealth of the students family along with their parent's backgrounds. The white person who grew up poor with uneducated parents had to overcome more obstacles than a rich black person with college educated parents.

2018-11-03 18:59:12 UTC  

yes

2018-11-03 18:59:15 UTC  

You mean, big brothers? Alright exists.

2018-11-03 18:59:19 UTC  

this program would be specific to parenthood

2018-11-03 18:59:22 UTC  

yup expand

2018-11-03 18:59:24 UTC  

we need more

2018-11-03 18:59:25 UTC  

Yeah, but it kind of sucks, taekahn.

2018-11-03 18:59:33 UTC  

kids need dads

2018-11-03 18:59:41 UTC  

that i can get behind

2018-11-03 18:59:52 UTC  

And there's the looming question of how we control for quality with these programs, but we'll *never* get out of that rabbit hole.

2018-11-03 18:59:53 UTC  

but i'd rather see people get married and have children then encourage more single mothers

2018-11-03 18:59:56 UTC  

Kids need dads,

Adults need Tim

its a dark world i say

2018-11-03 19:00:03 UTC  

a figure who knows how to get shit done, build some cool shit and show confidence
