See how these findings undermine the very foundations of science and academia. This is how you get expelled.

Sterilization is not posible nor ideal. Try to get in the Scene and read a lot . I am the kind of person that you would like to block. I would go on and say things like Hamlets rape of Ophelia maybe wasn't bad afterall? Remember you want to act selfish.

Mindfulness is imagination. How do you know you are not tricking yourself?

Good question. There should be many answers and factors but I would say repetitiveness.

Yes true, students are not given freedom to choose. But once it given they cherry pick easiest classes. For most of them main goal is getting the bachelor's degree. How you get it doesn't matter at all. But keep in mind most colleges are free in Turkey. Yeah I think so, if we want a healthy nation state experience these lessons are required. Depends on situation, if it's my class then we are reading Shakespeare. Fuck calculus. Of course we are not everybody. For example look at gun laws in Massachusetts and Texas. Perhaps they feel comfortable that way. Again this would be one freedom for all high school students in various school types. I am up for diverse school types be it technical, scientific, religous, private or elite whatever... Intriguing but do all students really need the same freedom? Isn't that a dictate too? I think instead of raw far subjects first we need a cultivation of wonder. I will go a bit off topic here Thereupon, one of the priests, who was of very great age, said, ‘O Solon, Solon, you Hellenes are but children, and there is never an old man who is an Hellene.’ Solon, hearing this, said, ‘What do you mean?’ ‘I mean to say,’ he replied, ‘that in mind you are all young; there is no old opinion handed down among you by ancient tradition, nor any science which is hoary with age. And I will tell you the reason of this: there have been, and there will be again, many destructions of mankind arising out of many causes. ‘There is a story which even you have preserved, that once upon a time Phaethon, the son of Helios, having yoked the steeds in his father’s chariot, because he was not able to drive them in the path of his father, burnt up all that was upon the earth, and was himself destroyed by a thunderbolt. Now, this has the form of a myth, but really signifies a declination of the bodies moving around the earth and in the heavens, and a great conflagration of things upon the earth recurring at long intervals of time: when this happens, those who live upon the mountains and in dry and lofty places are more liable to destruction than those who dwell by rivers or on the seashore; and from this calamity the Nile, who is our never-failing saviour, saves and delivers us. ‘When, on the other hand, the gods purge the earth with a deluge of water, among you herdsmen and shepherds on the mountains are the survivors, whereas those of you who live in cities are carried by the rivers into the sea; but in this country neither at that time nor at any other does the water come from above on the fields, having always a tendency to come up from below, for which reason the things preserved here are said to be the oldest. ‘The fact is, that wherever the extremity of winter frost or of summer sun does not prevent, the human race is always increasing at times, and at other times diminishing in numbers. And whatever happened either in your country or in ours, or in any other region of which we are informed – if any action which is noble or great, or in any other way remarkable has taken place, all that has been written down of old, and is preserved in our temples; whereas you and other nations are just being provided with letters and the other things which States require; and then, at the usual period, the stream from heaven descends like a pestilence, and leaves only those of you who are destitute of letters and education; and thus you have to begin all over again as children, and know nothing of what happened in ancient times, either among us or among yourselves.’ Excerpt from Timaeus by Plato -

Our whole national education system is a horse breeding program. It involves only one question from elementary to academia. Are you thinking the same way as we do? I think this system needs to be decentralized. Yeah, philosophy is great but it's not for everyone. There shouldnt be one common education for all. -

If the exam reader knows the answer already why we bother with philosophy at all? -

I went to vocational high School in Turkey. We had philosophy class. It was compulsory course. Our philosophy was as long as you don't swear at somebodys mom or sister you will be good. We all knew what Herakleitos said: You cant step the same river twice! -

What if we don't have that much time? Kennedy tried something similar with Executive Order 11110 but that did not end up well. -

If evolution is intelligent same thing applies for spiral dynamics as well. Who knows maybe it will get outdated like an app? So we might need to restate what we wrote here. I think we take things for granted. These colors are subject to change. -

What if her soul claimed by Corona gods and now she's having tea party with kings and queens? Am I so bad with episteme? also there was a time when Aztec's practiced human sacrifice. I bet intelligent ones got their heart torn off. Well here we are. -
They were scientific back then. We are scientific too but in a different way. Also it's not easy to move pigs around That's a red flag for a tribe. Plus prophet is not in pig business.

This quote is from wikipedia: '' In July 2020, China's foreign exchange reserves totaled US$3.15 trillion, which is the highest foreign exchange reserves of any other nation. '' What's up with all the paper money? They want nothing but their own precious currency. They want the purchasing power. That is my definition of globalization. Power to control. It's not like world becoming one big village. -

Funny, China loves globalization but not so much for kids. -
Let me imagine, very rich people have no prison system at all and it works for them. At least it works for one very little socioeconomic group. That's something huh.

I actually take my two days to read his manifesto. His critique about technology and future of society is spot on. But he is very naive on nature. Nature doesn't give a fuck about us or dinosaurs or microbes or what we done to her. I hope he is still learning. and our solution is prison or death penalty. Ted is not the first or last. Teds are everywhere.

Yeah, maybe it is not good for my growth. I won't deny it. My point is we have things to learn from virus. It is true episteme.
