theleitmotif Posted May 13, 2017 Posted May 13, 2017 Hello, Just joined. Live in a very liberal area, teach philosophy, and miss rational conversation. TheLeitmotif
theleitmotif Posted May 13, 2017 Author Posted May 13, 2017 Did a call in with Stefan, "College is Death". As a woman who teaches philosophy I deeply appreciate what Stefan does. On an introductory exam all 26 of my students answered that it was false that "all violinists are musicians" implies that "some violinists are musicians". When we later discussed it in class their reasoning was that it was inappropriate to generalize. That just because it was true of all did not make it true of some. My job is definitely becoming more challenging in interesting ways. 1
Christine Marie Posted August 20, 2017 Posted August 20, 2017 I can tell you from experience that not all violinists are musicians. You don't want to be in the same room when he's practicing either.... I'm in Leftistville myself. Good old SF Bay Area. My philosophy teacher was a woman. She told me I just didn't "get" Marx. Of course, if I "got" Marx, I'd have to love him, right?
Dylan Lawrence Moore Posted August 20, 2017 Posted August 20, 2017 Have you thought about transferring, getting another job, or getting a more active presence online like Stef? If college has become such a massive and obvious indoctrination center, that would mean that the only students who go there are the ones who can't figure out that it's a massive and obvious indoctrination center. Maybe your skills would be better applied elsewhere? (You don't "get" Marx because he's an idiot and there's nothing to get. ) 1
