The ideological self-immolation of pic related is a sort of object lesson in the dangers of letting Feels/theory get too far ahead of Reals/praxis.

It's almost like ideologies don't work or something. But at the same time there's a point beyond which skepticism about ideologies becomes completely incoherent.

What I'd like to see is something more about the ideology-producing brain/mind and how it works. It has to be looked at both culturally and scientifically. Probably involves some reading w/r/t paradigm shifts, the structure of scientific revolutions, Kuhn, Feyerabend et al.

Skepticism about the relevance of science itself is a really bad meme. If humans can't agree on science they're really fucked.

Hohoho that's cute
Check out where I'm headed

I'm genuinely excited for the academics which they thoroughly sold me on during my visit but holy fuck, man, the students. I'm from Cali and it was still more than I'm used to

Evergreen State College

>Let It All Hang Out

Anybody go to this place?

My sister went there, and now she's working there to pay off her enormous amount of debt.

I applied to the PhD program at Wesleyan but didn't get it ;_;

I graduated from pic related with a BS in math. It was awesome. Lots of drugs, good local music scene, neat town, very rigorous math and science programs, easy to get a BA in bullshit if you don't want to do any work.

Now I'm at the University of Vermont. It's preppy broville compared to Evergreen. Lots of young, rich, entitled kids fresh out of high school, including the ones I teach.

How's it feel to not be going to the best school in Washington?
