Its just the retarded faculty and students

2018-10-20 08:52:38 UTC  

surrounded by many acres of trees

2018-10-20 08:52:46 UTC  

pass/fail system, project-oriented

2018-10-20 08:53:02 UTC  

There's no grades, narrative reports

2018-10-20 08:53:03 UTC  

i was so fucking mad when the riots broke out

2018-10-20 08:53:15 UTC  

Seems to have calmed down now tbh

2018-10-20 08:53:20 UTC  

I hope so

2018-10-20 08:53:42 UTC  

anyone here deal with workplace cliques?

2018-10-20 08:54:09 UTC  

my journalist team at my college is so cliquey, it's nauseating

2018-10-20 08:54:23 UTC  

in-jokes and passive aggressiveness

2018-10-20 08:54:33 UTC  

and the one other new guy who doesn't get it

2018-10-20 08:54:54 UTC  

keeps trying to joke with them, 20 times now, every time they are silent and ignore him

2018-10-20 08:55:24 UTC  

whatever band said highschool never ends was right

2018-10-20 08:55:46 UTC  

if most adults have highschool degrees, or just past highschool, it's really all the same mental level

2018-10-20 08:56:14 UTC  

the difference is how dedicated you were to having a rank. the mental acuity is the same on average, I think

2018-10-20 08:56:43 UTC  

that's why there are teachers who are embarrassed by students who go on to basically fuck up

2018-10-20 08:56:58 UTC  

standardized testing is a joke.

2018-10-20 08:57:21 UTC  

the masses look up to people who memorize things better than others, but they're worse at critical thinking.

2018-10-20 08:57:44 UTC  

they are memorizing facts without knowing how they got to that point.

2018-10-20 08:57:54 UTC  

it's like if we had a class on Star Trek.

2018-10-20 08:58:09 UTC  

the people who question plot holes fail.

2018-10-20 08:58:24 UTC  

the people who memorize what happened pass

2018-10-20 09:01:03 UTC  

it's just ironic in my opinion

2018-10-20 09:01:37 UTC  

we criticize critical thinkers because most of what we think is true is HOLY AND SANCTIFIED BY OUR LORD FACTS

2018-10-20 09:01:55 UTC  

yet most of those facts are just agreed-upon opinions or narratives

2018-10-20 09:02:02 UTC  

so much fucking horseshit

2018-10-20 09:02:33 UTC  

Imagine 500 years of newspapers where everyone just wrote what they were told to write because they wouldn't make any money otherwise

2018-10-20 09:02:52 UTC  

extend that to 2000 years

2018-10-20 09:03:26 UTC  

hell, even say that if they didn't write what they were told to write, they'd be burned at the stake and their wife would be raped and murdered along with their children

2018-10-20 09:03:28 UTC  

i mean come on

2018-10-20 09:03:47 UTC  

But hey I'm a crazy conspiracy theorist

2018-10-20 09:03:56 UTC  

don't listen to the guy with logic

2018-10-20 09:05:00 UTC  

@Gilgamesh the HS thing is something you have to test people for

2018-10-20 09:05:14 UTC  

it does live on, it does not completely die off, but it does die down in many people

2018-10-20 09:05:21 UTC  

and finding ones who aware of its follys goes a long way

2018-10-20 09:06:00 UTC  

the critical thinking vs memorization thing is a different and larger concept which i don't know when it can be addressed

2018-10-20 09:06:45 UTC  

but you see atleast a reasonable amount of academics who admit to being aware of it

2018-10-20 09:08:51 UTC  

besides his views on agnostic>atheist that was one area i really like niel degrasse tyson for, he talked about that subject a lot. he couldn't answer for a solution to it but admitted its a thing. part in problem the system is devised to test off memory, so be it, what can one do. ideally in the real world it does matter more but opportunities don't always come the way of the problem solvers

2018-10-20 09:29:17 UTC  

dafuq did i return to

2018-10-20 09:29:58 UTC
