Dear Hirsch I,

I understand where you are coming from, but I disagree with your basic premises.
And so I will leave you with a rhetorical question for your own consideration:

Pretty much any show or book that gets called "smart" or "clever" makes me feel the same way.


We discussed inception in fucking philosophy class as some kind of Descartes replacement and nooned seemed to think this was strange. Yeah, we were 15-16, but come on, you can read 15 pages of Descartes and have some idea of what is going on and instead we watch 2+ hours of this.

Do you even have any idea of the kind of preposterous bullshit they make you study in a philosophy major?

We were given the option between The Matrix and Inception. High school philosophy was a complete trainwreck. R.E. here in Germany is either Catholicism or Protestantism, so you have a lot of atheists/Muslims/Christians of other denominations who don't want to go to R.E. or whos parents won't let them. If you don't take R.E., you have to take Philosophy, and so you have a lot of people not interested in philosophy in these classes. And the few people who are interested in philosophy were generally more interested in moral/political philosophy.

Do you even have any idea of the kind of preposterous bullshit they make you study in a philosophy major?


How do you mean? I'm not studying philosophy or any related field (thank god for that), but I went to a few college philosophy courses when I was in HS, and they all seemed quite OK, though I think the professors had a lot to do with that.

i tried for 5 minutes to come up with a reply that doesn't make me sound like a pretentious teacher's pet (again), then gave up because i'd like to think that i've mostly overcome that phase, so i guess you're right

The tavern is a pretty overrated forum. The thank system encourages ruthless trolls to post two word thankbait and snark. I'm going to the angband forums where jokes are illegal.

I'm also having trouble thinking of a worse way to spend 2 hours than reading descartes. What is commonly taught in intro philosophy classes that I call "history of philosophy" is quite overrated.

cerebovssquire is from Germany where you can get a good education for free, and I don't know where you are from, but personally I would always be pretty disappointed, if not actually pissed off, if a day that my exorbitant tuition was paying for was spent doing something I could, and probably would, do in my off time anyway.

It's like my old music theory professor used to say, "Education is the only thing people pay more for less of."

OK Computer by Radiohead is way overrated, imo. I don't hate it, I just find it boring and lacking good songs.

Oh yeah I glossed over the age. Very true, and in high school (as in grade school) the teachers are teaching basically *all day* and just need a break sometimes. So you crack out the DVDs.
