Unironically, did 4chan provide you a better education than high school?

I don't just mean learning about books on here, but learning to refine arguments, learning logic and rhetoric, getting help and advice.

In terms of efficiency of education, how does it stack up against your high school?

>> No.14552503

Rich kid schools are better than poor kid schools.
4chan is open source sewer of trolls and the occasional gem.
Unironically it gets us writing practice and little more (than nice book recs of course)

I lurk a lot on the chans but don't post much so I haven't gotten much practice in writing. I have been working on my image collection and part of my new self improvement that I am going to work on will include posting more instead of just lurking all the time and therefore gain some writing practice, of which I am sorely in need.

4chan is like a collective AI. It would be create if the could program a sex-bot with a 4chan brain.

If they did, would you make love to it? Make love to 4chan? to express your love and thanks.

The opposite. It provided me with detailed knowledge on topics no one gives two fucks about IRL and compulsion to mention irrelevant trivia. Also I tend to mention Jews way too often, even if I didn't even fall for the memes.

Yes, unironically. I didn't have a good high school education and I never went to college but I consider myself pretty well-read from browsing this site for nearly 10 years now. It's like how Malcolm X was once asked what his alma mater was, and he replied: "Books." 4chan is my alma mater.

Lol this website is shit. I love it but it's definitely a bad habit. Going out and gaining life experience put not only this site into perspective, but also a bunch of navel gazing philosophy and debate skills I picked up on here.

Back from 2015 to 2017 before dumbass ignorant zoomers flooded the website en masse, yes, I did learn a hell of a lot more than I did in high school and than I do here now.

But you newfags are completely fucked and you just have no idea how totally useless the posts these days are compared to even just a few years back. Everyone who knew anything got sick of all the bullshit and left. This place is dead and a cesspool. It's almost a complete waste of time.

Barely educated lowerclass criminal here.
It's a good start but after a couple months a given board either provides no gain or has a negative influence. Certainly being animalistically tugged along by memes and reaction to memes is not a benefit. Social media, that includes imageboards, trains a fairly closed and algorithmic mind which is inferior to a mind that goes without. I would say a well-formed mind is more important in education than facts and ideas.

Also you're likely to get a veneer of an education. Simple memes dressed up as legitimate and thoughtful discourse when they are far from it. If you don't rapidly move beyond a board's usual posts, which are basic permutations likely to drive you mad if can't escape, then unfortunately you've been mentally castrated.
