>Ivy league and private schools have grade inflation
>State schools have grade deflation

How the fuck is this fair? It's basically punishing you for not getting to a top school. The chance of a guy from state school ever succeeding is made lower.

and yet they score in the 75th percentile on raven's progressive matrices, meaning they have an iq of 120

"The model performs in the 75th percentile for American adults, making it better than average," said Northwestern Engineering’s Ken Forbus. "The problems that are hard for people are also hard for the model, providing additional evidence that its operation is capturing some important properties of human cognition."

doesn't it suck when your "intelligence" test can't even distinguish a human from a machine? if it can't even do that, what makes you think it can tell two humans apart?

OP here. After watching several videos like ones posted in this thread, I have come to realize that my professor either give no fucks about his students or he is just an evil boomer who gets off on fucking over millennials. The guy makes us take 100% hand-written notes. To make it even worse, he writes all the notes on plain white paper which gets projected on to a small ass flat screen tv. The field of view is so small that you can barely see half of a problem being worked on at any given time. Everyone in the class is visibly distressed as they scribble the notes in and miss 90% of the things he says along the way. Since the projection area is so small, he doesn't even bother showing us how to graph a function.

My last professor was Chinese and I couldn't understand a damn thing he said. "we use carcurus to fine tha derifitiv of tha function, buh fir we mus fine eff-oh-eh"

Higher education is a joke.

Please tell this is fake. Please tell me this is fake news.

>peer reviewed opinions on an imaginary subject are taught as facts in universities
So this is the power of academia.

Your face/body do not have the attractive traits that signify to women that you are a healthy, fertile, high quality male. In addition your social skills and income may be low. Basically you're an evolutionary dead end.

Don't feel too bad about it. 99% of all species that have lived have gone extinct and historically 60% of human males never reproduced. You could say that you're the normal one!

Be honest with me /sci/, is engineering a meme?
>go to uni
>excited and interested with majoring in EE
>realize classes are curved to B- (2.7) gpa
>jobs want 3.0+ most of the time more
>you have to be a god among gods to succeed in engineering
Fuck this shit.
