Was there ever a more apt time to self-educate than now?

If (you) can read, retain, write and combine-- why not? If (you) need assistance, the resources are at (((your))) fingertips..

I only want to attend Uni so I can become a teacher or a lecturer and so I can say with some conviction, if you don't care for any sort of qualification and you just want to be well read and educated then self-education and youtube professors are the best senpai.

Yeah, try to find half the shit I have with my university resources. It's only awaste of money if you fuck around your entire time.

competitive debate isn't about class, taste, or brevity. it's about talking really fast and writing outlines. the type of debate you're after is off-limits to you until you actually show some academic or otherwise intellectual merit.

I'm not interested in your observations until you join the debaters and outplay them.
