Thats why college is so damn expensive.
ReplyAnthropogenic institutional entropy. Also explains this civil war brewing between fossil fuels and fossil finance. Austerity is just a sublimated form of the gold standard which caused the Great Depression and the two world wars. Not really intentionally, conspiracy-wise, but pursuing profit for its own sake in the context of abstract systemic necessities. You know, Paul Tillich and that “institutions are inherently demonic” thing that Charles Peguy, Thorstein Veblen, Ivan Illich, and Robert Michels had discovered independently. It’s the cause of the rise and fall of civilizations. The damn yuppy scum were (or are, since a difference that makes no difference is no difference, never mind all this hipster, Gen X and Gen Y crap who are also fattening themselves off of cheap Chinese coolie labor) are robopaths, vainglorious pretension minus Erich Fromm and Ernest Becker. Reap the climate change whirlwind from this carbon consumerist binge y’all.
ReplyNice unintentional Plug for David Graebers Bullshit Jobs
ReplyLooking thru the comments I think we all can agree everyone is retarded.
Reply“These people,” AKA the unnecessary admins are the reason that college tuition has exploded to heights that have priced everyone out. Make college affordable again and maybe we’d stop seeing these dramatic spikes in deaths of despair. Whats the point in getting a degree if it saddles you with so much debt you’ll never get ahead. These things are apart of a much larger problem that has not only killed the American Dream, but skinned it and put it on display for every town to see.
ReplySelf Education by reading extensively and seeking out experts in your area of interest is a modern miracle!
ReplyI don’t think any of this applies for STEM. It’s hard to imagine any full time math student having time to sleep 7 nights a week, much less do drugs and have sex.
ReplyCollege is a scam.
Replyi wonder why Bill wants the facists to take over campuses…not saying they should block these speakers but they’re facists….why does Bill want them to speak?
ReplyBill Maher for Wef Leader, lol or perhaps Pres….
ReplyThe private colleges hire their own graduates. It’s pathetic. I bet half of the Yale administrators are Yale grads. No professor or administrator is worth more than $100,000 a year.
ReplyTo their point about how many workers now do no work at work… I want to point out that work still needs to get done… it’s just being piled onto the few left who can still DO work. And it sucks!
ReplyWHAT DO THESE PEOPLE DO??? Can someone just answer the question LOLOL
