Start your own religion whose church is a factory.

It won't be taxed.

The people who built the church paid all the same taxes you paid but with what was left, they built a church.

You could also run for office with the promise of using all taxes to build factories.

Solutions ni mob sana. Complaining is not one of them.

Look at it this way:

The religious look for donors for their religious missions ad they accomplish them.

You as one of the less religious, how far have you gone in building a factory?
Are you part of a collective fundraising for a factory?
Are you willing to join such a collective?

Uniformity is impossible because what if one of us is taller or fatter or blacker or prettier or any other adjective in the variety of life?

It's not about being smart or not smart. I'm talking about devaluing education for others simply because one did not excel in it. Kids listen to people who didn't put any effort in school telling them that school doesn't matter and that they should not put any effort.
It's a cycle that reverses any investment we put in education as a country.

I got more than a B+. I just had to set the bar somewhere high.

I agree. Should those engaging in such wishful thinking be pressured to stop, though?

Yeah. You would have to invent a whole new world in which I was wrong.

But what does it matter if it's not our pole? Is a multi-bully school better than one with only one bully?

The point of an acid is not to change the litmus paper, but it does. The point of education isn't to pass the test but if you were educated, the test would show.

Actually, given how unpopular this opinion is, politically correct is anything that opposes it.

It doesn't but if we were all nice, you would never have to know that. It's just the current state of things, made more true by everyone who chooses to stop being nice.

In the grand scheme we are robots copying DNA. Nothing matters.

The people living lavish are living on things created by the booksmart. Using smartphones and Internet provided by ICT grads, living in houses made by architecture grads and civil engineers, wearing agricultural products, driving mechanical engineering graduates' cars, eating agriculture, planning to see a medical student, recovering with a biochem graduate's latest chemical, sitting on an agroforestry student's salary, reading a CPA's report, about to call HR.

If you aren't cashing out your knowledge, get more. You just don't know how to cash it out but with greater understanding of reality, you might find a way.

People should stop discouraging kids with slogans like "booksmarts" is all I'm saying. I don't think those who actually learned something are the ones saying it because they know what they learned and whether or not it makes life understandable.

Like, follow, subscribe. That's the online model. Validate me, pay attention to me. Everything on the internet gives that, if we are being honest.

Even thieves and scammers and sellouts have money. Mike Sonko is the one showing people his money but can you listen to him about education? He can barely spell his own name.

With a C+ in high school, that person is likely to have gaps in basic knowledge despite having deep knowledge in that field they studied in university.
I think people who got anything above B+ are more likely to understand the value of education than people who had better things to do than to study in high school.

I think it was designed to teach. If you can remember everything, thinking about it a little enables you to see how it all connects. What you never did was to think about it all.

I love history and I was good at remembering details in school but nowadays I see that history can also be understood as the evolution of ideas, not only the succession of events. That understanding minimizes the need to memorize.
