Can barely parse this one. Good job today.

Debate is a huge thing. High school debaters are frequently reading arguments which utilize Deleuze, Foucault, Lacan, Fanon, and pretty much anyone you can think of.

Is... this what high school is like outside of the us??

its simple

everytime i do one push up, i read a book from a philosopher

on average i do 10 push ups a day

okay this makes much more sense

That's what my policy debate team was like, and which I think is representative of much of the teams around the US. It's definitely a strange dynamic. Kids aren't really given any sort of intro to all these thinkers and they are then thrown into the muck as listed in that quote. I think a big part of it is college debate spreading its influence down into high school.

Can't say it's the healthiest thing, you hear a lot of stories about kids who get their brain fried and later take up hard drugs.

In the other hand there's the non-k teams who all end up as politicians.

Trying to understand this while also suffering from both poor sleep and too much Benedryl feels like an out of body experience

Lmao just be happy anybody at all is interested in your navel gazing bullshit.

I tried to read some Deleuze but couldn't get past the first few pages it felt like reading complete gibberish, why do they have to write like that? Are there really no easier ways to express the same ideas?

[-] Philosoraptor@hexbear.net 1 points 3 years ago

Most of that school seems like complete gibberish to me, and I have a PhD in philosophy. There are definitely easier ways to express their ideas. It's not just you.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
