Fluffy Kitty Cat

Lol like I was ever gonna buy a home anyways

Pretty much. I’m totally disillusioned with the education system and I want something totally diffrent

Appreciation for the creation, synthesis, or archival of knowledge was already gone, this is just cutting out the fluff.

Anything that can be cheated by LLMs can Also be automated away with the same tech, rendering it worthless

This should always be an option. making sitting through and paying for years of courses is predatory and locks so many people out

Expecting students to pay thousands for each course for vague “personal enrichment” is unreasonable and is just gatekeeping job credentials.

The question I’d like to ask is, do you need an expensive big formal institution like a university for general purpose personal enrichment? What alternitives could work? What do they look like? Student debt and GPAs surely can’t be the only way

There should be regulations on what degrees and certificates employers can ask for, and costs for those degrees should be imposed on employers who demand them

It’s been gone for a long time. “They literally just need a certificate” sums up the whole point of the education system as it actually operates, not the fantasy version we wish it was

The fundies have their own colleges where premarital sex gets you expelled, including being a rape victim, so the bubble isn’t nessesarly popped.

That’s the kind of student that grade focused test prep “education” systems are designed to provide.

I like the concept but got burned hard by my experience going last decade. It’s way too expensive to just go for self enrichment. If you have motivation you can teach yourself. It’s never been easier, and you could hire a tutor to help you through at places for a tiny fraction of the price. Big institutions generally are breaking down and not working right.

But they still demand the degree

I’m in that boat, but so far there havn’t been any consequences besides ruined credit

As a victim of the education system, I’m totally in favor of starting from first principals and redesigning the whole system from the ground up.

I regret going to college, the speedrunners have the right to get the credential they need

The point of paying for a college degree is to get a job. Education can be done for free, or the coat of printing out pirated textbooks at most. We don’t need institutions to learn

Also once they get their foot in the door, they can remove the privacy next time they want to unmask someone online saying “I support Palestine action”

The only time they verify your age at the grocery store in America is if you’re buying alcohol
