“Shaking hands with Hercules after the first crusades” had me scratching my head. Like, I’ve seen dumber MTG posts so it could have been authentic but then again it’s pretty much random.

Risk free, except for all those times your landlord can just force you to move, or raise your rent, or fail to maintain the building and some catastrophic breaks. Totally risk free.

No but those are all good things because they make the landlord more money, which should make the people renting from them happier because they're contributing to someones success.

Locke, Aristotle, and Newton have had no equivalents in Africa or Asia, and the advancements in those areas have been almost exclusively due to Western influence. To see the results, just compare New York to Chad. No benefit can be gained by focusing an education on anti-reason cultures, their only academic merit lies in contrasting them to Western civilization as models of inferiority.

Alex Epstein posted:

Black crime has increased steadily since King's time, and seven out of ten black children born today have parents that are not married. Could it be that there is a reason behind all these problems, a reason having to do with ideas? Since a culture is just the dominant ideas accepted by a certain group of people, a culture yielding bad results is based on bad ideas. I submit that because of the bad ideas he promoted, Dr. King is responsible for a great part of the destruction that has occurred in America today, especially among black Americans, the group he supposedly saved.

Not all "others" benefit a business. Certain others - the homeless, those on welfare, Medicare recipients - are worse than useless to businesses. A business benefits only by dealing with an individual or company that creates value.

You'd think that in order to get a philosophy degree you'd have to have at least heard of a couple of the famous thinky guys born South and East of the Mediterranean. They are kind of a big deal.

I hand out a lot of pity-passing grades to students. If someone doesn't care about a particular subject, it's not in my interests to flunk them, they'll just be either my or someone else's problem later on, and of course the academic institutions themselves have financial incentives to generate graduates rather than knowledgeable people.



This film has a good conversation between Einstein and Marilyn where Albert tells her just reciting facts is useless. If only things were seen so.

Failing students is more work for everyone, worst of all me. Maybe that's bad for the integrity of the educational institution, but
a) I don't care.
b) That ship has already sailed.

Generally if a student's put in any real effort, they're going to pass my classes though sometimes only just. I generally only fail students who either ghost the class and skip all the assignments/exams, or cheat in some way.

I do appreciate that students who cheat can have the hammer dropped on them, figuratively, and it's a big process that actually doesn't involve the teaching staff so much as the administration, and it turns into a fun exercise for the student about dealing with the worst of the Discworld wizards. :evilbuddy:

Our institutions usually put up a grading matrix at the start of any course, so a student can min-max their performance if they so choose and just barely pass, and I think that's fine. If someone doesn't care, no one can make them care about a particular subject. It's another discussion whether this is pedagogically sound or not, but hey, this is the institutions themselves min-maxing their funding and as cat botherer said, it's not the teacher's problem at that point.
