Within each and every one of us is a unique culture:
Ethnocentrism reaches just as far inward as it does outward:
Just because academia has imposed it's own fascist, totalitarian, absolute definitions does not mean that it has final say: i postulate such adacemic-fetishism is merely a byproduct of propaganda pushed by Big Money rather than a genuine insitution of respectable edification: that is i see it as a mere appeal to authority; a well-known logical fallacy to those who are in the know.
Tread lightly.
Modern Academics seems to be yet another corrupt branch of Business; little more.
Academic achievement is not equivocal to intellectual worth:
a graduate's degree is moreso a status symbol than it is a credential anymore.
'T'is vile idolatry in lieu of an individual's personal philosophy; that's not to say it's absolutely worthless, but it may as well be in today's job market (unless it's a business degree!)
Then again, that's just my opinion. i guess i oughtta shut up before Edu-nazis shut me down.
Oops, did i type that out loud? I'm so sorry, you see, vhat i meant to say vas: Heil Stanford! Heil Harvord! Heil Berkley! Heil vhat i am told zu heil! Heil zhe publishing companies! Heil zhe holders of student loans! Heil egredious student debt in lieu of philosophical discourse, let alone progress!
Heil vhat i see on TV! Heil *******! Heil alkohol! Heil gasoline!
Do not qvestion zhe dogma; go back zu sleep, you sheep!
Yet another write intended to be easily digestible by the masses, without any sort of difficult, contentious, or otherwise thought-provoking material so as to preclude any sort of discomfort or disagreement. Written solely to be popular and to reinforce the status-quo.
Maybe I should stick to music. Y'know, something everyone can agree on. ;)
