Traits of the ignorant, as one would expect.
Your failing grade has no negative impact on my life... caring would be the ignorant response.
That‘s the actual critique. But of course you‘d focus on the grade given.
You remind me of little doodles I would do on my physics assignments back then, irrelevant comets in the orbital calculations.
And now you‘re trying to impress the empty ether with your irrelevant doodles from back when.
Just like you keep dwelling on your own trivial creations, you keep lingering in conversations you should’ve put behind you eons ago.
My humble guess is: the massive gravitational center of any orbit you’ve ever calculated has always been your ego.
I didn't realize my 'trivial creations' required a full thesis review from you.
Who keeps lingering in conversations they should’ve put behind themselves eons ago?
If my ego has a gravitational pull, I suggest you stop orbiting it.
Calling a one-liner a thesis after trying to make an argument with long-winded, but ultimately empty autobiographical babble — like an ugly accident one cannot look away from, this just keeps pulling me in.
So, how does the anecdotal, badly written life story of a self-absorbed ego going through a midlife crisis relate to the reality of people getting their lives fucked through some automated allegation machine? Would you, maybe, condense your point into a simple sentence? So that even irrelevant comets are able to get it and to also showcase your moral blindness towards systemic dangers, just because you managed to get through, back in the good ol’ days. Dangers that, as pointed out already and contrary to you own experience, will have life changing consequences for other people. That’d be great.
The reality is: you are fucked with or without the stamp of approval from academia. Get over the ratings game, nobody cares if you got an A+ in Algebra III or a higher than 3.75 GPA. They (that would hire you) usually don't care about what school you went to except to make football conversation. If one boots you, there are 4000 more out there just as willing to give you another chance.
Big talk about academic integity has been exactly that for 50+ years: big talk, very little action in reality. If you're a one in a million victim of terrible application of technology - you've got a good chance of winning a fat discrimination lawsuit, if that's how you want to live your life.
No, but I'll give you a couple of links to read: let me know what you think AFTER you've gotten at least 1/2 way through: https://rmst202.sites.olt.ubc.ca/files/2022/04/illich_deschooling-society.pdf https://arl.human.cornell.edu/linked%20docs/Illich_Tools_for_Conviviality.pdf
