I will be very concise, since I know a long, boring post will make you just lose interest.
>fairly normal life, but im extremely bitter against (succubi) m*dels, the glamour, ease,wealth, luxury and globe-trotting they are gifted just cause MUH FACE
>Im in a country that has free university, including med school\ doctor's college, I wouldn't lose any money if I ended up failing
>I tell myself a lot, that only saving others is good enough reason to keep myself alive
Please give me an honest assessment of this conundrum. I AM willing to go through the pain that is med school, AND a career as a doctor- I talked to several people in either field, so I know what it will be like.

if you think you can do it, do it. medicine is pretty safe thing to study as a career, you just need to keep up the effort.

How do we arrive to that point? Most courses can be found completely online and free of costs, and they are far better explained than most universities. There must be a way to give equal to everyone.

You didn't read my post. Education is about teaching the prevailing ideology which today is capitalism - yes its anti blue collar/anti left because the capitalist ruling class needs you to work in their offices and work in their factories. If you already knew how to apply these things irl then you wouldn't have a market to apply for these things

The backing up of real world applications and applying it towards education SHOULD be a real thing, but ultimately will do no good unless capitalism is abolished first. From there education should focus on things that are needed to uplift and continue a communist society including real world application to things

>>25253
how about an actual communist program instead of trying to set the prices of this or that commodity lol

Holy shit if you actually read these guys they're straight-up ancaps and fascists. They're all small-government nationalists obsessed with life, liberty and private property. They already do the whole Schmittian state of exception thing with the state of war. And they're okay with slavery as long as its against the ignorant or its a state of war. Basically, the worst kind of dark satanic mill shit. Like Mill wants to freely sell alcohol and then put drunkards in labor camps. Nietzsche and nihilism are irrelevant, the fascists are straight-up copies of Locke and Mill. And to be honest, the Liberals do that really long-winded and dull prose that fascists do as well.

- "Two Treatises of Government" by John Locke https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/john-locke/two-treatises-of-government
- "On Liberty" by John Stuart Mill https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/john-stuart-mill/on-liberty

>if you read locke (1690) he's a schmittian fascist (1932) AND an ancap (1963)
it seems that history means nothing to you.

Nietzsche is for the failsons specifically

>>25165
Are you 15?

>>25223
Obviously I meant that Schmit and the ancaps elaborated on tendencies already pre-existing in liberalism.

Fascists use philosophical and intellectual pretexts because, due to their ideology, they completely fail to understand the richness and nuance of discourse. Unfortunately, you do not offer a nuanced perspective on the issue; Mill's anti-slavery stance would have been interesting in this specific context. Furthermore, please elaborate on your statement: according to which philosophy or definition do you really see fascism, with examples? Locke refers to a limitation of the state's room for maneuver, which is indeed damaging, but these are founding texts, and what followed was not the intention of their authors.

I'm new to continental philosophy, to me continental sound just aphorisms and sophistry, and nothing with actual substance to say, but I'm open minded and curious to know if I'm wrong or continental philosophy actually has value, so what some good introduction books to continental SLOPPA?

So, Continental Sloppa is irrelevant to socialism theory, bros?

>>25156
>this scientist believed in le holy science of dialectical materialism ergo he used dialectics
by this logic catholic scientists used catholicism to do analysis too
engels' dialectics of nature was bullshit too btw

>>25157
its plenty relevant considering socialism is the bourgeois ideology in opposition to communism

>>25158
>no scientist used, no not that one

Continental philosophy is just philosophy, whereas analytic philosophy more generally refers to a specific methodological approach and system of logic which, by its own constraints, can only describe a specific portion of consciousness and reality. It's unfair and generally incorrect to think of the divide as being incompatible (see: Wittgenstein). As for where to start, it really depends on what you're interested in. I think everything still basically begins and ends with Plato, but if you're interested in aesthetics (which I think the "Continental tradition" is unquestionably better equipped to detail), reading Spinoza, Henri Bergson, Gaston Bachelard, and Merleau-Ponty would be fun for you. In terms of critique, there's still no replacement for Hegel and Adorno, although I think Heidegger's essays are also essential texts

>>25157
No, a lot of it is very cucked but their analysis of the way capitalism and its mechanisms of control have evolved are important, and even if people like Foucault were straight up reactionary sometimes, their ideas can be re-oriented.
Continental philosophers, specially the french ones, sometimes write in a style thats annoying and assume the readers know a lot of stuff that was very popular in the time and place they were writing, and it filters people. A way to get around this problem is to start with their most accesible works which are usually transcriptions of courses they did.
Also "continental philosophy" isnt really a thing, its a term made up by anglos to put a bunch of very different schools of thought in the same bag. If you were more specific about what authors or schools are you interested in maybe I could help.
>>25155
You are a retard.

New Ancient Americas video discussing the Eastern Agriculture Complex ie that time the ancestors of Mississippians developed agriculture independently of Mesoamerica and the Andes but later most of these agricultural crops were replaced by Mesoamerican imports, including the king of crops, maize.

>>25250
I think it's interesting to see how a region of the world could develop agriculture but not "progress" into high civilization like Mesoamerica or the Andes.
Could the crops have something to do with it? Were they not as efficient or nutritious as stuff like maize, amaranth, quinoa or potatoes?
The intensification of maize agriculture into the eastern woodlands seems to coincide with the development of Mississippian civilization. Could they have been on their way to develop as much as Mesoamerica and the Andes when Europeans came? That would've been pretty interesting since the area is quite large and has vert navigable rivers. Would there have been eventual direct contact with Mesoamerica? So many lost possibilities.

New ArchaeoEd video. Topic is Ancestral Pueblo religion.

The real tell that someone is a midwit, through and through, by the way, is aversion to philosophy.

Outmoded pseudoscience that was discredited as unscientific pig swill over a century ago, yet ideologues and poseurs continue to talk about dialectics in the year 2025 because they think being a leftist means accepting everything Marx and Engels ever wrote as irrefutable gospel truth.

>>25271
Ah yes let me just apply Marxism without dialectics
Let me just brush my bald head
Let me just run this marathon without my legs
etc.
Calling it 'pseudoscience', when it never existed as an object of scientific enquiry, but instead as a method, instantly exposes that you don't know what you're talking about.

>>25255
Nah, most of the philosophers are reasonable enough. It's when the Hegeloids come along that they become insufferable. It's weird to me because if people did understand Plato's system, this idea of obsessive formalism is not the point. The Demiurge is a clearly imperfect fashioner of the universe as we know it. This was transformed into "study these and only these forms as we tell you do and do not dare think for a moment".

>>25271
Tbf it only became pseudoscience when it was used by people as a clumsy positivist thing, which is not what dialectic is useful for. The other funny thing is that ideology only took off after the basis for making ideology a thing was proven wrong, so much that a lot of Marxists were thinking history and revolution did not work that way at all and wanted to go back to the drawing board.

Let's have a thread about chemistry. I can't be the only amateur chemist on here. To please the mods, everything in here is purely academic. Check local laws before you embark on your projects. And before you do anything, make sure you have appropriate safety equipment. Think about the worst thing that could happen to your reaction, because chances are it will. Don't be stupid.

Any good Marxism-Leninist work on intelligence operations? I've read all the Gramsci and Western Marxism shit on cultural hegemony so don't bother me with that. What's the Che Guevara of glowies posting Pepe memes online and feds grooming autists to be mass shooters in Nazi Discord servers? There's plenty of work documenting fucked Gladio type shit but what's the seminal work from our side on agitprop and so on?

Kind of not relevant but I found it interesting how Evgeny Pashukanis in "The General Theory of Law and Marxism" connected law to commodity fetishism. It seems to me that the nature of market exchange is to place oneself as a subject of the law and as a target of control (but not exploitation) as a worker.

https://www.marxists.org/archive/pashukanis/1924/law/index.htm

But yeah to seems to me like that comparatively little has been written about spooky glowie shit from an Eastern/peripheral perspective.

What are you studying right now? What is your favorite field of mathematics and why?

Personally, I really like the book "Linear Algebra Done Right" by Sheldon Axler. It is on Libgen if you are interested and I attached a pdf.

>le narcissism
no, i mentioned it because i'm not whoever you said was decrying philosophy. if you have something to discuss with them, go back to whatever thread or board you came from instead of shitting up an /edu/ thread ffs

>>25276
You said as much elsewhere under the exact same name, so unless that was someone LARPing as you, you're full of shit. Nice job conversing about the nature of 'being' with your math prof, btw, definitely not the equivalent of trying to discuss calculus with an English professor. Moron.

>>25299
Also, it's particularly funny that you try to coyly dismiss narcissism, i.e. 'le narcissism' as if that pseudo-ironic meandering actually dismisses anything–you ARE a narcissist, which is why you can't seriously bear the brunt of the accusation, in addition to the obvious symptoms you exhibit time and time again. It's funny though, like every narcissist, you will insist upon your delusions to the contrary, so self-absorbed by your own veil that you can't recognize the fact that everyone else sees you for what you obviously are, and every attempt at dignifying yourself according to your own warped perception only serves to humor every external onlooker in actuality.
