Not really. I picked fights with teachers a lot and on few occasions even gave myself as a sort of anti-teaching to them, but nothing's ever gotten out of my hand (at least I hope).

I was the lovable slacker in math classes, but I'm also ridiculously good at math, so... The teacher just let me do whatever I wanted and then I studied for a week before the exams and passed. I did two subjects on math in school too, and there was only 3 people in one class, it was really fucking funny being the lovable slacker in that class (and in the other one, it was a hot chick teacher, that class was fun too)

They never changed their name. There was talk after the assassination that bin Laden wanted a name change, but that never happened (or he was killed before it could happen).

I have mad respect for older undergrads. They usually have more experience to bring to the table and are more willing to engage at a reasonable level with instructors.

They're not stupid, that isn't the problem. The problem is that the vast majority of them have no interest in the actual material they're learning and just want an A.

This point becomes evident when comparing the rate at which undergrads go on to get PhDs between Columbia and my undergrad (Reed).

well consider also that the average columbia student has better access to high-paying jobs right out of college than a reed graduate does. so i don't think it is as much a comment on the seriousness of the students, so much as it is a comment on the way our society values and rewards the members of the ivy league.

you don't need a Phd if you go to luxury brand schools like Columbia, hell you can drop out of those schools and have a better career than some hardworking dipshit from a lower tier school. doesn't mean the ivy dropout is actually smarter or better or whatever, just that they don't need the grad degree. also, worth repeating, people don't do an undergrad in nyc to become scholars, they go to party and/or intern at wall street or some big money law firm etc. so expecting all the undergrads in new york to be striving for some future career in academia is to misunderstand the situation

hate it to break it to you but publishers are more likely to publisher a mediocre hack from columbia or nyu than some hippy doctor from stony brook who goes around curing peasants, unless you can weave some kind anti-islamic or anti-chinese propoganda into the story, welcome to real life

I am fast friends with Disappointment. I still dare to dream. I see the beauty and idyllity (I just made that word up, but I like it better than "idealness") in things---I wouldn't have it any other way.

Hopefully I'm able to prove you wrong. For the record, I'd receive little satisfaction with being the real-world Patch Adams; I will break barriers. I will be remembered.

The feeling of resolve you have is good, but don't let it make you pretentious. Delusion is a good thing when it makes you take on the 'unrealistic' challenges that the average person would scoff at, but it's a bad thing when it makes you ignore hard work or hard truths because you're infinitely sure of your own greatness.

Wanting to be a genius is a weird mixture of loving and hating yourself. You have to be sort of arrogant to think you could possibly be great to begin with, but you also have to be able to think you're total fucking garbage unless you are perfect.

I'm not pretentious. I'm being brusquely honest because I wouldn't expect anyone to read paragraphs of my life story.

You're right about hard work---it takes you further than only natural intelligence ever will.

I'm familiar with perfectionism. Someone once told me something that's stuck with me: "I know people like you. You'll never be happy unless you work yourself to death."

American Universities are actually pretty top notch. Aside from the obvious top-tier English universities and McGill, everything else is pretty shit IMO

how did you define the paradox and trivial to come to that conclusion?

I agree that the exact location of grains of sand to become a heap is not of the utmost importance, but vagueness in concepts in communication, the fact that words we create to be distinct are best understood with overlap (think the middle of venn diagrams) and blurred edges is somewhat concerning, no?

at least within the sphere of philosophy

>pre-law

laughing out loud.

i read statistics somewhere when i was considering applying to law school that pre-law students were among the least likely to be accepted into schools. the most likely? philosophy, physics/engineering, and math.

criminal justice majors were also all the way at the bottom.

I wasn't referring to a specific pre-law program, but rather one of the several degrees that are especially helpful in applying to law school. I don't think Reed even has a formal pre-law program.
