The vent diagram between shitposts//depressing factual information//satire has become a circle. The call to stand for our right to memes and prosperity is everywhere for a reason.

Did you say: Rent Ayatans?
Pahahahah I didn’t even notice the correction. I use swipe and didn’t reread at all I appreciate you. Ima leave it for continuity.
The world is the way it is now because too many people stopped studying. Learning shit isnt just for employment.
Eh, people didn’t stop studying but the corporate capture of our governments undercut our educational institutions. People still study, but the resources devoted to structured foundational learning (ie. public schools) are now devoted to wealth extraction (eg. shortform video platforms).
Come on kids, lets learn all about how ivermectin enemas will cure your acne! [after this ad break]
Yeah. You need to study so that way you have the skills and knowledge they’re trying to teach you. With that knowledge you can
Literature class: write decently well, interpret themes, messages, and intent in media, engage in critical thinking and use it to present an argument for your position, understand that other people have their own perspectives and be able to entertain those perspectives
Math: think logically, understand relationships with numbers, understand the basics of how spacial dimensions interact, do all the minimum necessary math associated with citizenship as well as more that is likely to come up at some point in your life with at least the understanding required to pick it up again quickly after looking it up
Science: basic understanding of how the physical world works so that when topics of science come up you have some framework with which to approach it, an understanding of the scientific method and the philosophy of empiricism (these are often taught very poorly ime), an understanding of how physical objects in this world interact with each other and the basics of what makes machines do things and why
History: an understanding of what has happened before, trends and ideas from the past and their consequences, you’re supposed to learn from it not take it as an instruction guide, an understanding of how the world and society got to be like this, basic understanding of various philosophies of governance and ways the world has been viewed
Government: as a citizen of a democracy you’re going to be given a share in its ownership when you reach the age of majority, you really should understand how it works and have a basic sense of your duties and the reasons for them as well as how the law works
Foreign language: it’s just useful ok, and the second language is the hardest
People stopped studying because higher education was turned over to the corpos so it could be “optimized”.
When I was in high school we got to write an essay (or something like that, I don’t remember anymore) on some topic I didn’t have any opinions about, so I gave an empty sheet of paper with only my name on it. The teacher was really puzzled, an brought up this to me and my mom. She wondered why I didn’t cheat and copy something from the internet like a lot of my classmates did actually. We already had smartphones, it was around 2012-2013. I didn’t cheat because my parents taught me honesty, that was my answer to my teacher.
Guess what? I got the lowest possible grade (essentially I failed this exam). People who cheated, and she knew they cheated got higher grades. Not that I’m complaining, I got the grade I deserved in my opinion. I would like to note that I wasn’t a lazy student or anything, it was this one time that I slipped up, and preferred to be honest about it.
What school taught me is that cheating will get you further than honesty. If you can’t make it, fake it. This translated very well when I started working in a corporate environment.
Oh, come on. If that were true, some of the people in our highest political offices would be incompetent morons who cheated their way into power!
You are right, I can’t imagine that happening in the real world
Don’t worry, the tankies will replace the capitalist grinder with a communist one.
Eventually.
Hey kids, don’t engage with society. It’s a lost cause. Get a shell, find an island, and start over. It’s so much better than this.
Hey kids. Stop parroting trendy nonsense!
Yup. This is how I imagine them.
Not only glad about it, it will make everyone else police each other so nobody kills themselfs and escape it. We all have to suffer, death can NOT be an option.👍 if you even think about it we will lock you up
When everybody is police, who is gonna make things and staff hospitals?
Are we just going to fight over a rapidly diminishing pile of unaffordable real things until there is nothing left?
I don’t thing you read it correctly
I thing I may have took liberties
It might be a silly joke video but it’s grim dark and deep af
Now, i’m sad again.
I don’t think I have ever been asked for my GPA or school transcripts. Usually they just check to see if I graduated.
If you for a corporation then yes, your job is to make someone else rich. If you don’t like it then start your own business and hope it doesn’t go tits up. You can also try to become internet famous but that’s hard if your parents aren’t already well off.
Adult hood and responsibility is rough. Good luck young dude.
Gristle for the mill
Sounds like they pray to the one god that actually matters
Study just enough to start your own business. Do NOT study so hard you become convinced it’s impossible to do, that you become afraid and weak. A business class is great. A business degree is too far. You need a little magical thinking to succeed, basically you need to lie to yourself about how successful you can be, and if you do it right, you’ll believe your own lies and succeed. Unless your parents are wealthy and will just hand you a business when you turn 18, in which case, kill yourself.
