Say something nice about it. Or better yet, be reminded that you're responsible for your own education.

A list of readings ranked by their assignment frequency in 7,000,000+ collegiate syllabi: https://opensyllabus.org/

Im pretty ok with this list except for one and that one is less than 100 pages long so Im cool with blowing through it, memorizing broad strokes and then forgetting all about it once the test is written.

This website is pretty cool. But it is weird to sort the list by appearances. For example, Calculus by James Stewart would probably appear on the syllabi of two or three different courses at each university. Same with the reference and style guide books. It is kind of weird to see these mixed in with Frankenstein lol

Yeah, I don't think the list accounts for purpose. Marx might be assigned for critique as often as he's assigned for analysis.

as someone who has actually read nicomachean ethics, it's easy to see that fucking nobody actually reads nicomachean ethics

Quite a few of the colleges that have semi-modern websites I've visited have the list of classes needed to complete a degree and, if you do some digging, links to the actual syllabi themselves. What's stopping me from just reading though the entire degree myself

back in the day, 1 in a 1000 had university education and 1 in a million had phd, so naturally you went to university for all your manhattan projects and trinity tests (first nuclear weapon)

today, every single 80 iq mouth breathing retard has an university degree
saying you went to uni to any serious and important employer or institution is like saying you graduated kindergarden
and naturally, after all these universities, all you can do is go to the adult daycare they call the office where you do absolutely fucking nothing at your welfare job, maybe you gossip a little or drink coffee or babysit an excel file but that is it, that is what 99.9% of university graduates do in the [current year]
and they are all paid fake welfare salaries where the number is irrelevant because 50% of it is lost on taxes on day 1, the other 50% on rent

i think that serious, meaningful, important education in this day and age is found in.. french foreign legion, or in winning some underground illegal hacking competition when you are 14 years old, or they straight up switched to the soviet secret city style installations where you age genetically engineered from birth to be a scientist there and do things that matter in 21st century

the rest of society are all pseudo welfare cases, hr women, diversity hires, nepotism/trust fund retards, its all fake, all the jobs are fake, all degrees are fake, whole sectors of economy are fake, hell whole countries might be fake for all i know, ive never been to kongo or korea, i dont know man, all i know is i had a few jobs so far and they were all fake jobs
