Skimming through the beginning, I have a few problems with it.
>1. It reads in a similar fashion to someone writing a book on "How to Sex", where the pants don't even come off until the last page.
>2. It seems very much like a "How-To: Normie" walkthrough.
I'm not saying you don't have some good advice in there, but it seems almost counter-productive by overcomplicating things for no reason. The past couple decades "Self Help" Books has been the meme that that's what Soccer-Moms, Wine Aunts, HR Women, etc. read religiously. Except it's kind of a meme because even though they read/talk about "Peace, Love, Happiness, Goals/Achievements" and other feel-good'ers, they're ironically known for being rather "difficult" and prone to "unhinged meltdowns".
>3. "some things will be near impossible to 'understand' in the sense that you must memorise it
>and with time, will fade from memory because such things are difficult.
>so you circumvent most of that with repetition and association until it feels as though you understand it"
I think much too value is placed on "Memorization". Yes, it's important to memorize some things through brute repitition, but I believe that the best way to "Remember" things, is by having a firm understanding of the topic with many aspects in mind.

I mean, I admire the effort that went into it, and I wouldn't call it complete Trash; but it just reads like some Jr. High Sociology Textbook. It looks like it has some decent sections that a parent might use to keep in mind when raising their children, but I really think we as a society need to be capable of having Independent thought without having to go check a Scheduled List on when Happy/Stress time is.

>Then buy a 15$ Casio science and engineering calculator instead
Well, you see the problem is that my public school REQUIRED students to buy these plastic bricks.
It's a nightmare, because it was just like playing an extremely shitty video game, where we didn't learn anything except how to barely navigate through the monstrosity.


I can't speak for everyone, but I feel like most of my education consisted of memorizing useless bullshit, and then just glossing over crucial and important knowledge, because reasons.
I absolutely hated school, and it's frustrating as fuck, because it's not that I don't like learning or science; it's the fact that it was counter-productive and anti-science if anything.

Western Society(Business, Academia, Government) has become subverted by foreign infiltrators, and domestic traitors who are spending unprecdented time/resources on campaigns to oppress, discriminate, lie, cheat, and steal from "Us".

>and they already told me I could definitely do it there with them, seems they like me.
Well, then you're set. Because it's not about what you know or what you're doing, it's literally just about who you know.

>Self learning is a meme when it comes to getting a job unless you've got connections and high charisma.
So it's not "Education" that is the problem, just petty Gatekeeping?
>>14796306

I do believe a non-trivial amount of Academia is more like a "Social Club", than it is a "Education/Research Institution"...

>---am i correct in my assessment?
No. No, you're not.
If Peak-"Scientific Progress" is stupid meme-coins, then OOF.
I personally like to believe that we are experiencing some "technical difficulties", but will be resuming previous advancements once the current ""nonsense"" is finally dealt with.
If you've been reading what these "Prestigious Universities" have been publishing over the past few years, you would probably be asking to see the manager in charge of things.

Starting ~1/2 century ago, they thought it would be a genius idea to just give $Trillions/year to the MidEast Oil countries so they could use that money to invest in Western Business stonks, and so they could afford to build some Sandcastles. Well, the MidEast Nationalized the Western businesses who designed, built, transported, and set up the drilling equipment necessary for Oil, and basically controlled the Oil Market through OPEC once that happened. We give them money, so they can afford to pay us for Labor/Resources to build their nations, military protection and invading their neighbors, as well as finance their Healthcare, Education, Housing, Gov. Payroll, Infrastructure, and Cash gibs to their citizens (Foreigners aren't eligible to be citizens, and they have strict immigration policies btw).
But the "elite" in charge of the West believe giving them $Trillions is good because "Line Go Up :)))".
They believe it makes more sense to give anyone else in the world sacks of money, because then they can spend those sacks of money in Western Businesses, to generate revenue :)))
It makes much more sense to throw $Trillions upon $Trillions at 3rd world wastelands so they can pay Western contractors to go abroad and spend their money overseas while they're busy building their countries with the money we gave them.

The problem is, well over 1/2 of our Society needs to just be completely reformatted. There are Hundreds-of-Thousands to Hundreds-of-Millions of people in positions of power and authority where their decisions can impact mundane tediousness, to life changing implications. And there are many of those people who are complicit with all sorts of questionably-moral shenanigans, but they are simply ignorant or incapable of understanding the big picture/long-term-consequences.

If you ban me, at least just ban me off this board and don't give me a Global-30-Day-Go-Away next time.

I'm sorry if you find my research "unscientific", but if you find my posts unscientific, you should blame the subject I'm posting about, not the method in which I approach the pseudoscientific topic.
