Take heart on the Right. The Left is void of good ideas, whilst the Right is full of them.
I deeply enjoy Jacob Rees-Mogg, sorry he called my friends mogrels (for those who are touchy about it?) glhf.
the internet (broadly social media) has literally neutered so many people, it's way easier today to flip the table than it ever was or will be, if you're an Gen Z 1.0 (1997-2002) congratulations, there will never be anything more capable than you at anything ever, don't waste it
3) often opt out of many “status” games
dystopian. just date people you come across at work or school, don't do this shit, it's anti-human bullshit it will never help with anything at all, just get off the dating apps instead they have absolutely nothing to offer, let insane people keep using them.
the students refuse to spend a lot of time with it, the students that do this dont need flashcards and havent ever needed them, for them its always been a supplementing tool, "most people" on twtter translates to "this is just me making random ass assumptions"
completely retarded take, obnoxious even, textbooks and schooling alike will encourage developing an understanding based off connecting learned fundamentals and then try to come up with intuitively arrived-at conclusions, it's individual responsibility that
Most people who get good grades are just good at memorization, not actually smart, they just have a neat stack of flashcards for a brain and they can sort through them quickly. pure intelligence is about accessing the subconscious directly. its like a dark cavern underneath your thoughts and when you shine the right light down there, surprising shit comes out. connections that you wouldnt make on your own, insights that feel like they came from somewhere else, because they did. the mind is a lot bigger and deeper than most people use, they just skate on the top layer. but there are fucking cathedrals down there man, temples buried in the mud, and all kinds of wild animals that you can catch and harness if youre not scared to climb down the ladder into the dark

The brighter STEM people understand that studying science does not automatically turn out intellectuals. Intellectualism requires a broader understanding of the world. However, there's a large midwit layer of STEM narcissists who lack the humility that could drive them to investigate what they don't understand. Placed in positions of influence, these people are quite dangerous.
Luther would probably nail another 94 theses on some wall if he saw his name being associated with evangelicals today
annotation & describing having learned a lot of things as being "disgustingly educated" are the most cringy online LARPy posting primarily posted online by teenage girls on tiktok for whatever reasons, social media has been the worst thing to happen to us as a species

This is why Mark Fisher is right when he argues that capitalist culture absorbs subversive movements and neutralizes them from within.
Gangsta rap is one of the easiest genres to neutralize because it is itself a clear manifestation of “capitalist realism”, it depicts life in the ghetto while simultaneously expressing an aspiration to get rich and flaunt one’s wealth.
Something far less common in more underground genres such as grunge, hardcore, or punk.
It was great to have @Raekwon at our office again.
Congratulations to the Wu-Tang Clan on their farewell tour.
Never forget your OGs.
