Thank you for that

From my novel. Thoughts?

I haven't attended an Ivy League school, though I have been in a top-14 school. And I can tell you that my experiences are what can be expected from a complex and diverse social environment. There have been professors who escaped communist regimes. There have been avowed neo-Marxists who advocate for the violent overthrow of not just one government, but all Western governments. And there have been all sorts of people in between, from alcoholic professors who gave out As like Biden giving out stimulus checks. In some classes, the curve was so crazy, you could end up with a 20% on a midterm and still finish with a C.

As for the (entirely subjective) quality of lectures, again, I can't speak for Ivy League schools, but I can say that it'd be inordinately difficult to actually quantify that sort of thing. You can say that because some institutions have larger endowments, more prestige, etc., that they attract better talent. And more talented students- which could mean more time dealing with substantive matters and less time dealing with people who need remedial classes or a complete mini-course on the underlying fundamentals before even getting started.

Ultimately, professors are fairly risk-averse and follow whatever standards have been set by their relative departments and professional associations. So, in truth, most of their lectures are just powerpoints highlighting the important points from the assigned textbooks (which, at better schools, are often written by the very professors themselves).

Yes, teachers can have an amazing impact on students and their development. The right teacher can make even calculus seem interesting and relevant. Nonetheless, the lectures are far less important than one's individual work ethic and their ability to ferret out what facts need to be regurgitated.

If you want to really learn and flourish intellectually, stay on 4chan. Read a wide array of books. Listen to indie music. And don't get wrapped up in the idea of a pecking order or externally derived worth.

Hey Faggots, My name is John, and I hate every single one of you. All of you are low IQ, fantasy-writing, armchair philosophers who spend every second of their day reading stupid ass wikipedia articles. You are everything bad in the publishing industry. Honestly, have any of you ever read my book A Fault in the Stars? I mean, I guess it’s fun jerking off to David Foster Wallace because of your own insecurities, but you all take it to a whole nother level. This is even worse than sharing your shitty short story first drafts on the internet. Don’t be a tranny. Just put my book in your Amazon cart. I’m pretty much always in the top 100 novels. I was a New York Times best seller, and I fucked an underage girl with terminal cancer. What have you published, other than “wanna be Tao Lin bullshit”? I also get mad views on Youtube, and banged Cara Delvaglign (She starred in the movie adaptation of my book; Shit was SO soulless). You are all faggots who should just kill yourselves. Thanks for listening. Pic Related: It’s me and my gun.

it's because he's Mormon. got that strong work ethic the rest of America's "Protestants" have lost.

He wouldn't have it in him to write a whole book.
It requires effort and ability.

I did it myself. Although the image of the design comes to me by the same means as the words do. Also, I appreciate your interest in my book, I hope it helps you.
