imagine wasting a SINGLE second on your life being forced to compose works you care little about? modern man has no worth. agriculture has spawned billions of domesticated animals who feel pleasure when they complete the tasks they were given (no matter how trivial) . Sounds familiar, right?

Domestication is VERY real. No scientist or geneticist will ever try to isolate the genes responsible for domesticated behaviors for obvious reasons, but this doesn't take away the fact that most of our specie has turned into cattle! I am not talking abstractly! Humans have physiologically domesticated themselves.

It is not surprising in the slightest to see that these infra-humans have conglomerated around institutions. It is quite logical. The real political divide is domesticated vs non-domesticated. Pro-institutions vs individual freedom. Camatte has been explicit about it, Kaczynski less so but that is somewhat implied throughout his works.

Back in the day when we handed in assignments on paper, I would write half an essay, print it out, put some blank pages at the end, staple it all together, then slightly rough up all of it and rip off the blank pages. Hand that in, go back and finish the essay, and then email the TA that I found half my paper in my bag, it must have gotten caught, etc. Then send the full paper over, after making sure my computer time was set to the day before so any metadata on the file would be ok. Never failed, though I would only do that once a year or so.

Generally my papers were written the night before or morning they were due, including research papers.

When doing typing speed tests, it's generally not all that long. Maybe a couple minutes or so. The longer you type, the more difficult it is to sustain. You could experiment for yourself if you want. Start a one-hour timer and get to typing. Don't stop until the hour has passed. If I were to only type for half an hour and then double the number, or 15 minutes and then quadruple the number, it may very well end up going past 2800 words. With most anything you do, the longer you do it, the slower you'll get. Rapid-fire shooting with a semi-auto, mag-dumping mag after mag like with an AK or something. Or long-distance running, marathon running, or what have you. I highly doubt such runners are as fast when they finish as when they've started. Even gaming, I bet if studies were done with one team playing constantly for hours went against another team got swapped every now and then with fresh gamers of similar quality, the marathon gamers would degrade in quality over time.

I recall doing speed tests and getting around 80-100 WPM, but with my years of creative writing (and I've self-published 6 novels and a few others novelettes/novellas) I haven't been able to sustain that for a solid hour. That's 4800-6000 words in an hour. I've timed myself many times but have never been able to manage that in spite of my successes with testing my typing speed for very short spurts.

I know this is a joke, but what's the best thing to do in this scenario? I would probably just write and opening and closing paragraph that mentions a book. Then copy the entire book (with a citation) into my essay. Then I'd use the remaining time to try and write some more paragraphs pertaining to the book. Technically speaking, the professor would have grounds to give you more than a zero. I could see some of those social science retards giving their students 50-70 percent on that paper. Grade inflation is fucking real. But once you submit that, you should immediately write a real paper. Try and say you turned in the wrong paper, and offer him your new paper. If he doesn't take it then you can just save your paper for when you retake the class.
