Those rants are a favor to those who need it.

I have little patience with people who have the intellectual capabilities, the sources, and yet manage to spew BS.




As for the actual topic at hand: I'm of course highly skeptical about the standard system of education.

Things I consider truly paramount to become a constructive member of society.

Indeed they are quite smug and annoying, but no-one is forcing you to read them. If you dislike what i write so much, then perhaps it would be adequate to avoid a topic with my name on it?

And you don't feel that perhaps the majority of those rants can be viewed as Smug? Annoying? Dismissive or demeaning in anyway? To name but a few of course ...

This just HAS to be one of the nicest things you have ever said to me, i'm touched. No really. Is the season of goodwill getting to you MadAce?

I'm not going to comment on this in the same way as i have through the rest of this post, simply because this is your opinion and who am i to say it's wrong?

However, that said, have you compared a University education to that of a primary/secondary school and progressively into a college education? From early on, people hold your hand when it comes to learning, like when you first start to read, or to count numbers, however, as you progress along the 'education line' so-to-speak (Primary to Secondary to Tertiary) people stop holding your hand as much and therefore promote independant thinking. So i would have to agree that yes, a University education is beneficial in the fact that there is a lot more freedom and independancy when it comes to work ethic etc. You will only get out what you put in (Effort wise anyway).

If you're acting like an annoying little prick, then perhaps it would be adequate to stop doing just that?

I shouldn't have to change my ways just because you're not mature enough to handle knowledge and opinions.

You can, and should, enhance your own perspective by listening to other people's perspective.

That's why you "asked" me to write a rant, right? For my perspective?

If you weren't so argumentative you'd realize that.

No, it really isn't. Having the capabilities and not using them is one of the wost crimes I can think of.

Opinions can be wrong. Period.
And I don't care who you are. I only care about the validity of your arguments.

Like I said, of all the systems I would say the university system is (usually) the least flawed.

But the entire premise of the schooling system, and society's view on education, is warped. It's basically an artifact from the industrial revolution when all a school needed to do was to create willing worker drones which would fit in the industrial processes of both the economy and the military.


These are the things the schooling system should teach, divided into 4 categories (which often overlap):

To gather information:
Most importantly: To teach yourself things. Look up information and train yourself.
To read, and I mean books.
To be inquisitive. Simply to question everything. Even to question everything. The latter is often ignored by many self-declared rebels and progressives.
Art. To learn how people think and communicate.

To judge and process information:
To think. It's an actual skill, logical reasoning. Something that requires a little discipline and knowledge about yourself.
To asses the value of information. In this day and age where all information is everywhere almost instantly, it's more important than ever to understand this.

To act on information:
To set goals and strive for them. And I mean set own goals, not those of society.
Self-discipline.

To survive:
To learn how society works and why it works like this.
Writing and such things.
At least one extra language. To be taught as early as possible. More languages is more ways to think in. Might even result in more empathy for other cultures.
Basic maths and statistics. Taught in a playful manner at an as young an age as possible. Perhaps some basic programming in kindergarten?
To deal with people.




A lot of people have gone to great lengths in an attempt to change the system, I agree. And a lot of what I suggested can be distilled from the current system. But if this happens it is despite it, not because of it.

There are a few things that I think are completely absurd about the system:

You only get to attend the only remotely worthwhile part of the game at age, what, 18? After you've just wasted the most inquisitive and intellectually stimulating parts of your life on cramming things in your skull you could've googled?
You finish university and since it wasn't really necessary you haven't acquired the skills I suggested. Now you're supposed to last a whole LIFETIME with this "education", facing a future which is changing at an exponential rate while you've trained for a career that will become obsolete in the near future?





I'm sorry, but it's entirely insufficient for what we need.

Where was it stated that you have to change your ways and that i am too immature to absorb said information? My information absorbtion is perfectly fine thank you very much ...

For example, did you know that when humans living in Japan/Australia/Britain (To name a few) tend to walk around a grocery shop in a clockwise manner whereas most Americans are noted to have an anti-clockwise rotation when it comes to shopping?

We all know that infants like to stick their mouths on things and lick things right? It's their way of exploring the world right? Well did you know that if offered a plate with a matted finish and a plate with a shiny surface that the infants will almost always go for the shiny surface? Scientists believe that it is due to a human instinct that was used when searching for clean, fresh water was required?

Here's an example, PersonX works at a shopping centre. It has been decided that GroupABC has to be made redundant to make room for GroupDEF. PersonX knows exactly when this information will be made public - at the last moment. However, PersonY also finds out about this and realises that their information is incredibly valuable because if revealed before PersonX, can allow GroupABC to save their jobs or find new ones to continue life as best as possible without unnecessary interruptions.

Indeed, however i think your statement is subject to the assumption that EVERYONE will understand the formats and how to actually use said information in the correct way. I feel that your statement is invalid because the education system teaches just that - the methods to disect the given information, to extract that which is most vital and put it into a way that is useful for you or for others, either by writing it down in a sentence, or by putting it into a mathematical equation.

Therefore, one may not have learned the majority of information which can be googled (Relevant to any given topic of interest of course), but one will have learned a method in which to extract vital information and put it to use.

Where it was stated? Right here:
M2-Destroyer wrote:If you dislike what i write so much, then perhaps it would be adequate to avoid a topic with my name on it?
I read everything. Not reading your replies would be changing my ways.



I also never said you couldn't absorb information. I said you're not not mature enough to handle information or your opinions.

I never contested that.

Let's just note that you simply didn't understand what I meant when I mentioned "perspective", indicated by the fact that you confused "perspective" with "a perspective".

It's not because you define a point by means of a proverb that the point is proven.

Proverbs can be wrong.

It's not because I choose not to lead by example that the nature or outcome of your actions somehow changes. You are still responsible for what you do and say. My behavior is thoroughly irrelevant when discussing yours.

You previously read the MadAce/Manganator thread so you should partially understand my consequentionalist views on morality. Pretending you don't understand my opinion of you does not make you seem withy.

In case you are somehow the victim of some kind of accident and are mentally impaired I will rephrase what I'm trying to say:

I do not consider rating someone's intelligence highly or lowly a compliment or an insult. What determines your worth and to which you are privileged, either compliment or insult, depends on what you do with your capabilities.

My stance does not bode well for you.

Like I said, who you are is irrelevant. Important matters, such as education should be correctly understood by anyone with political power. Correcting my errors is your duty. At least, if you are able to correct them.





What follows is a part where you, M2-Destroyer, are under the distinct impression that I was talking about you. I was, in fact, talking about the current system of education. I couldn't care less about you.

You were stimulated to look things up in university/college. These skills are so basic, so vital, that they should be taught at a much younger age.

BTW, considering the ease with which information is gathered these days I wouldn't be surprised the lecturer DID hand you the information on a platter by simply naming the terms you mentioned.
M2-Destroyer wrote: (2) - I read the Lord of the Rings trilogy and The Hobbit when i was aged 12.
What the hell is the relevance of that? You having read those books at age 12 proves something about the system of education? It doesn't mean crap.

You should see my point about statistics because it would seem you are trying to show a trend based on one, single element of data.
M2-Destroyer wrote: (3) - If i was not taught to do so, would i not agree with everything you say blindly? If so, would we be having this conversation now?
I wasn't necessarily talking about you. Besides, there's a difference between inquisitive and argumentative...

Frankly, considering your mindless acceptance of a broken system I'm not all that impressed by your urge to question things.

You are almost completely mimicking my point. My point is EXACTLY that it's pointless to teach information. It is only useful to to teach how to gather, judge and use it.

And no, the system of education wasn't originally intended to, nor does it efficiently do now, what I am suggesting it should do. It primarily crams stuff in your skull. Maybe, if you're lucky, you will be challenged a bit later on. When you're past your learning prime...


That is my point and you trying to rebuke it by repeating it almost ad verbatim speaks volumes.


As for not everyone being able to understand formats and how to use them: you should really see this:

BTW, speaking of the devil, which education have you enjoyed?

WRONG!

I would have thought you would have realised that i was trying to support my arguement with things that i have done or gone through myself. I know you weren't having a dig at me, i was just choosing to use situations that are personal to my development and growth to back up my arguement.

It's relevant because i was never into reading things at that age, until i passed through into the secondary stage of schooling, from which i was motivated to apply intelligence and independant thought, as well as read classic novels to expand my knowledge base.



Anyway - It's too early for me, i have too much of a hangover to continue - I shall do so later.

We're discussing an issue which envelops the whole of human society... I fear your experiences are completely and utterly irrelevant to support anything you have to say.

Frankly I figured you were trying to prove points with your own, limited, subjective experiences. But I guess I was still too optimistic to believe you are so very... challenged.

That still doesn't prove one single thing.

Your experiences are not representative for society as a whole. Nor do you provide a scale according to which to rate your experiences. For all we know it could be possible to read LOTR at age 10... Reading that book is also not much of a yardstick either.


Also, I never, ever said the system of education doesn't make marginal attempts to enact my suggestions.



Would you answer my question about your level of education?

MadAce, you must be one of those geeks that Google everything before they say it.

Stop always trying to be right.

PS: I rarely check garbage chute so don't even bother talking back to me because I wont check to see if you did.

You reading my reply doesn't serve a single point as you probably wouldn't understand it anyway.



I think before I speak because rights come with responsibilities.

I think medicinal marijuana is okay, it's when it is abused it becomes a problem, such as when someone uses it to get high.

Sadly enough having a strong grasp on reality is a big no-no for a politician... :(

All this weed-is-dangerous bull-BBQ is government progaganda from the early-mid 20th century. It's all nonsense. Paper companies wanted hemp illegalized so they wouldn't lose money and business, because at the time hemp was being recognized as the miracle material. This was a major contributor to marijuana being illegalized along with ad campaigns which where backed and funded by guess who, ALCOHOL companies.

Have you guys seen Reefer Madness? Lol..

If you've ever watched the movie "Grass" it's sort of a cool documentary about the history of Marijuana.
