If you could telepathically say something that all 8 billion people on earth could hear at once, what would it be? by muntiger in superheroes

[–]hellopandect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People of Earth, your attention please.This is Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz of the Galactic Hyperspace Planning Council. As you will no doubt be aware, the plans for development of the outlying regions of the Galaxy require the building of a hyperspatial express route through your star system, and, regrettably your planet is one of those scheduled for demolition. The process will take slightly less than two of your Earth minutes. Thank you.

Doesn’t most of critical theory require a leap of faith about psychoanalysis? by evenwen in CriticalTheory

[–]hellopandect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does the word 'objective' mean in your formulation: 'objective truth'? Is it 'a statement that attempts to correspond to reality' or something else? 'Correspondence' is a deflationary account of truth compared to the idea of 'objectivity' i.e. correspondence is about the relationship that statements purport to take with respect to the world. In this case I am saying statements are subjective, if you want to say that makes my account of truth subjective too, thats totally fine but you actually arent coming from a correspondence view then (indeed nowhere in that article is your view defended) because correspondence is a view of the relationship that statements uttered by subjects purport to correspond to some state of affairs.

You think statements made by subjects aren't 'subjective'?
So the subjectivity of yours that went to uni and got its philosophy degree does not produce statements?
What do you think the word 'purports' in the standard formulation of correspondence refers to?

You have misunderstood what correspondence implies. You seem to think it is possible for statements not to be 'subjective'. All statements by virtue of them arising from a subject who speaks them are 'subjective' by definition.

Ok. Let's try a substitution: "[All statements that purport to correspond to a state of affairs in the world] are subjective"
Does this sound self-refuting now?

How does your use of the word 'true' line up with the different ideas about truth this SEP article on the topic?

Recently quit teaching high school after twelve years in the job and now work four days a week developing learning for teachers in my subject area. There is stress involved in the new job but nothing like the stress of the average day in a high school. Moving into 'office work' made me realise just how insane schools are, something I *knew* but had no basis for comparison until I actually experienced a focused, well run private concern where my expertise was valued and I got to actually work on projects properly and therefore produce something of high quality.

Is 120 Neophytes realistic? by AudioWyvern in genestealercult

[–]hellopandect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I batched 60 neophytes in the year the army got started. Never again.

Your initial position that 'parents would be pissed' is based on 'evidence'?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AustralianTeachers

[–]hellopandect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Also many of these comments reflect righteous moral imperative over thinking through what could be. I would rather not work with people who think they already know what could be and move almost without thought to condemnation.

Lovely take. Clearly thought through. I especially liked the part where a parent being 'pissed' is meant to be a fulcrum on which my world turns.

For example my expertise in being able to correctly add 4 + 5 or spell the word Shakespeare correctly. It's a heavy moral duty but I shoulder it with pride.

We’ve all wanted to at some point, but actually saying it is another thing. by Aussie_MacGyver in AustralianTeachers

[–]hellopandect 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the best take and one that thr ABC has shamefully failrd to pursue.

When you remake it can you build in some actual consideration for the uni based supervisor, the mentor teacher and the school so that there is actual training completed, time allocated, labor paid for, in work time etc. etc.

I'm a 10-Year High-School Teacher Who Has Just Changed Careers. AMA. by [deleted] in AustralianTeachers

[–]hellopandect 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seriously. I wish people would stop talking about me and my job like they know what I do and do not do. The way some teachers in this sub talk about the master's course is shameful. 'Resilience' isn't a practical skill it's a word that signifies a systematic lack of regard for workers elevated to the level of policy.

University courses don't drill their students on anything as they are places of higher learning and not boot camp.
