ITT we discuss how to reincarnate the Platonic Academy and stick it to the plebs.

Let no one ignorant of geometry enter here.

Been browsing /lit/ since 2010. It has so much potential but we certainly need to change our board culture. Despite never being able to leave until you die, I stay with lit because there are pockets of brilliance that pop up. It truly is my bete noir

>> No.21526964

step 1) become rich
step 2) buy a college campus
3) hire /lit/ spergs and ecelebs to teach literature and niche philosophy like neoplatonism, traditionalism
4) spam /lit/ with new university and generate media attention about some dissident fascist ultra right wing super secret university

Literally just hang out in the public park and teach a class. Academies revolve around teachers, not students being catered to.

For bonus points wear a toga and ham it up, but if you do this you MUST be able to lift 1/2/3/4 for reps.

No, because you can't really stop people from watching if they don't know geometry if you stream it. Frankly if you record it and put it online you'd be a massive sellout and indistinguishable from the millions of other tards with edutainment video channels.

I've filmed a dozen semesters worth of lectures, about 25 hours of filming per week. I can film a university lecture essentially is what I'm getting at. Uhh but there is a bit to it, like not doing a shity job with it.

I'm not sure how you get to a place of calling it entertainment. My logic is that more people will be able to "take the class"
If you are seriously going to try and keep the geometry meme going you should probably not do this in public.

And my point is that if you want to lower standards into the gutter and let in any random pleb, we already have government funded """"""""schools""""""""" for that. Making it available for more people is the opposite of sticking it to the plebs. Hell, I bet you would want to hold weekend and after working hours lectures, too.

It's not a "geometry meme", it's a proof that the person seeking entry actually understands principles of logic and can apply them to abstract problems. It's a hard IQ filter. The point is to save time by filtering out retards as fast as possible so that the smart people can have stimulating discussions.

All math was geometry until 1999 when the Matrix was released in movie theaters. The green numbers flowing past are called complex numbers because nobody can read them but everyone just pretends they're real which you need to do to make computers work. Basically you have to believe hard enough like Neo and Pythagoras. You are educated stupid and there are FOUR simultaneous times.

I've decided that this summer I'm gonna go to NY central park in a toga and lecture. I don't care if there's nobody there to listen, I'm just gonna yell out into the air about whatever philosophical topic interests me that day. I might bring a chalkboard with me too.
