The Rise of Trumpism

[Grendel]

Universities came from the clergy, not proper science. Nothing there outside of stem had any merit to begin with. It's always been secular priests in wizard-hats of authority jerking each other off with concepts that have fuck-all application to reality or even meaningful epistemology to begin with, and so nothing of value is ever produced, and hardly anything produced at all but thirty-page-long paragraph-ciphers about postmodernism.


If tax dollars are gonna be sucked off everyone's backs to pay for basic schools, it's a bare minimum that graduation from them makes you employable at least on the minimum wage, which means skills for these jobs need to be constantly taught and updated. No country should have to tolerate the emloyability bar rising this quickly when so much of the population needs jobs now more than anything.

STEM in university is nonsense though. Universities are for professional training and that's all. Some STEM fields are professional training, but if you just want to be, say, a mathematician, you're probably better off teaching yourself since amateur mathematicians are fairly common, and if you're going into some dirty field like applied mathematics or experimental physics you should probably stay away from universities unless you need expensive equipment and that's the only way to get it since it's only sexy to be a theoretician nowadays. Also, poststructuralism is a pretty valid school of thought even though I have no idea how exactly you get from the epistemological work of Derrida and Foucault to "I choose my choice and you choose your choice" except through some sort of dishonesty. There's no such thing as postmodernity and I wish people would stop making up time periods just to get money. Historical periods do exist, they're just marked by obvious events and with postmodernism there are none except maybe "...And then we all became consumerist and happy. The end."
