... But, of course "a wise man speaks because he has something to say, a fool speaks because he has to say something," leading to a situation where "those who know don't talk and those who talk don't know." and if "all I know is that I don't know" what am I supposed to say?

@tijaFree speech was the only proper choice, so let's write and speak and entertain our ideas as we please, and since thinking for oneself entails answering the above questions for oneself, it suits us most to live our lives for ourselves. If one ignores these self-defining questions and hands over their minds to a catechism, they will fall into it indefinitely. I just wanted to exercise that ability to make some word-play.Also, feels. This regression will come crumbling down.

@coy Something has to be done to protect the good thoughts. We lose very much by letting real thinkers of the past be overshadowed by the modern authors, which are not so good, and the growing role of the non-ending stream of useless information.Though I understand, that complaining about that is like yelling at people in ancient Greece, that they shouldn’t go to agora and listen to mediocre orators. Though people then at least tried to compose meaningful and long speeches, that were interesting. It’s a shame, that we’ve lost this tradition to climb up a crate and speak before people about what bothers you. Democracy ho.[Erai-raws] Slow Start - 07 [10…

@tijaThis is what the Patriots vouched for at the end of MGS2, and while they were right about a few things, it's still up to the individual will to decide for themselves what to do and what to think. I am positive there are bad writers as far back as writing has existed, it's just that good writers are the ones who are remembered.Also, we are climbing up onto our own platforms to say things we deem important, whenever we type something here or open our mouth. The key is choice.

@coy Obligatory education made it a profitable business to issue more and more editions of textbooks, that cut the source material as they please and explain it as well as the book author’s mediocrity allows for that. We become free only when left to our own devices, and even then it takes an enormous amount of time to make sense of the school program. We are inevitably dependent on somebody else to prepare stuff for us, when we are unknowledgeable yet and haven’t developed the qualities which make us discern a good author from a bullshitter.The key is choice, indeed, but by the time a yesterday student gets to choose, the time and desire to take another round on everything – now by himself – is already taken from him.

@tija I can only agree, the school systems are fundamentally broken across the board and every move is a disaster. All the money govs waste with this or that project could be better spent making sure parents have the choice too of where there child will go to learn. There will always be fundamental flaws to a system, but given sufficient opportunities, most will succeed, and with a proper social system, the ones who cannot will too. Problem is, I don't know if such a system exists.

@coy @tija The problem with school systems is that governments don't really care about school systems. What they basically do is tell you that if you don't study, you're shit and nobody wants you. But at the same time they teach nothing useful. People sees it more as some way to "get rid" of their children for a while during work hours.Children nowadays are not stupid and they notice this, and they stop caring about their education. Besides, they know they have no future, so they don't care about education anymore.School systems should be more focused on jobs and should be focused on whatever that person wants to do, from the beginning. And I know children don't really know what they want to do, and even if they did, most chances are they will end working on something different. Probably low wage jobs. But at least they would have a more relevant education.

@proxeus @tija Exactly, many kids notice it, didn't we? :) Of course they don't care though, why should they? They've got propaganda to spread to budding young minds, and water to poison to calcify our pineal glands, and bombs to send to a 3rd world. But alas, we've gotten a bit off track with this most recent comment of mine.I cannot help but return to my initial comment that "this regression will come tumbling down," and it will be with this newest generation of kids (post-2000)

@proxeus @coy I remember the one time when our math teacher said to us “Don’t you dare to miss the next lession, for that will be stuff really needed in your future”. And she told the truth, that was proportions.

@tija @proxeus I remember once I figured out a shortcut to some particular trigenometric function to find the area of a circle. I reduced the function down from around 15 operations to 10 and when I started using it, my teacher thought I was cheating :^)

@coy I like Niu too. But I don't like Mastodon that much anymore. So I had to make a decision. The decission to leave the bread bunny nest and become a rabbit :bun: -> 🐰

@coy @proxeus Humu humu. There was a time, when on the last course I’ve been doing some mind-blowing task in one company as my diploma project. There was a board with a RISC+DSP processor, and there was a folio to its language. While I was studying the list of assembler operators, my attention caught a cheat sheet on how to calculate trigonometric functions, like arcsine. I don’t remember the details, but these nifty tricks have surprised me: it was actually quite easy to calculate. The regular “dumb math” way, that I would take, would be like five times longer.

@tija @proxeus Yes they aren't too complicated! And the worst part is that teachers will regard their authority as higher, more important, and more qualifying than the brain of a child and teach whatever they are told to teach, as opposed to taking five fucking seconds to look over at the 20~ kids in the classroom and think "hmm, maybe there's a better way?" but you know what? The teachers that realise "there has to be a better way" just up and leave for something better.

@coy @proxeus I was happy to have old school kind of teachers. They didn’t refuse to count a lab implemented in an unusual way, as long as it was on the same things, that everyone had and conformed to the rules of the task.
