Are universities just glorified capitalist labor camps? How can people not see the obvious corruption and collusion with the bourgeoisie. They merely serve as supplies of labor reserve armies and even stemlords cant get jobs easy now.

Will communists eliminate these rotten institutions?

>Fortunately this isn't really the case, but if it is it's exactly the problem.
It's to the extent to which they're non-industrial that they're able to create beyond the myopic views of industry.
If it did serve industry, industry would need to reinvent it as something separate from it.

On the individual level it's this non-industrial attitude gives freedom, and with it meaning to the enterprise.
What meaning can there be in a world in which decisions are made by an impersonal dictatorial force.
When will we escape the totalitarian logic of rationality, of economics, and be free.

I've been saying for a long time that working class adults don't respect academia at all. It's an unfair moral burden placed on you g people as a means of social conditioning to prove themselves as "good little boys and girls".

Of course it's temporary. Life is temporary. Also most neets have either gone to college or worked at some point so they expect to eventually do those things again at some point. I remember neeting feeling pretty good when I did it but I was often on edge from not having a job mainly because i didn't want anyone to lecture me about it but also about being asked what I do and sometimes from boredom. Now that I work I pretty much just work and go home but I don't particularly want to do anything since I don't really like going out. I think I did slightly more things out of the house when I was a neet but I think the reason for that is that Covid really killed my desire to go out which was already minimal to begin with.

>lecture me about it but also about being asked what I do and sometimes from boredom.
>I did slightly more things out of the house when I was a NEET
Bummer. Was thinking personally that moving to an urban environment might help me do more out of the house. Already don't do very much at all and don't think this is uncommon for NEETs.

>COVID really killed my desire to go out
A disruption to social habits really can be, well, disruptive.

Wanted to add that when I neeted I saw it as some kind of reward from work. I would work about 6 months at a low paying seasonal job then go on unemployment and wait for the season to start again before that I went to college and completed a degree but had no real desire to work but also had no work experience. Luckily I paid nothing for college since I went to a community college first and I just continued living at home which I do to this day. So I was quite privileged but it eventually ended and I never really had much money during my college days. Looking back I should have gotten into the work I do now back when I was in my early 20s as it might have helped me integrate better into society

This is why I think secondary school should have spring semesters dedicated mainly to doing volunteer work out side of school, no homework.
That way, when you graduate, you have enough work experience to get some job rather than having to wracj your brain with applying for college

How do I find the job in my field if I have been out of college for years and have no relevant experience? I would like something in a public or non-profit sector, where I could do social science research or data analytics. But like I dont think I have much of a chance of getting hired into entry level position if they could take a fresh collage graduate with intership experience. Is there anything I can do? I cant bear being stuck in dead end nightmare I am at now.

Well, guess the idea was if folks knew what was inside then it wouldn't particularly benefit my resume which is already pretty technical and certified but has a dire lack of real world experience, and a huge gap in it. Sorry for distracting from OPs question by being ugh.

>>621
data analytics is cooked because of all the retards who made day in the life tiktok vids about it. there are no jobs left and its oversaturated, do something else

I want to learn some basic data skills but have no foundation.

I've seen things like The Wizard Book, Rust, LISP, R-something (used a lot in science?), Python (apparently old now and there's something newer Paul Cockshott uses?)…

I just want to be able to bash things together to prove points on the fly.

But I did Arts as a degree and theatre through school so I'm cooked ;_;

>>637
This would make me p. sad if it was true.

>>647
>I want to learn some basic data skills but have no foundation.
Half the stuff you listed is for programming (and good fun if you're up for it) more than for data analytics. The tools used in data analysis are SAS, Tableau, PowerBI, or Excel (pick one), R, or Python (pick one), and SQL. The basic foundational skill is some introductory statistics.

>bash things together to prove points on the fly.
The problem would probably be getting data for this. You might be better off just learning stats to make inferences from scientific articles.

>>647
Just learn Excel or LibreOffice Calc.

>Schizo imageboard users don't represent the program

Anons always say this yet I see the same sentiments again and again even unprompted. And they're called out on it they get upset.

>They're aren't dummies but they are misguided. Skepticism of the world as it is doesn't produce clarity, it produces paralysis. When carried out to its conclusion it collapses into mysticism. Scientific socialism isn’t a belief system, it’s a method rooted in dialectics: a reflection of the world in motion, rich with contradiction and continuous development.

This is could be applied to rationalize believing in God as a personal mandate. It can also be used to rationalize capitalism and classical liberalism.

>>636
>This is could be applied to rationalize believing in God as a personal mandate.
How? There is a world independent of human thought. That world is composed of material reality, which exists whether or not individuals believe in it. "God," on the other hand, would only exist in that person’s mind. This framework can't be used to rationalize God as a personal mandate because God is an abstraction that doesn’t directly engage with the material world or its contradictions. Dialectical materialism, by its nature, begins with material reality, not abstract concepts. Religion may emerge from material contradictions—like alienation and oppression—but it doesn’t produce the kind of tangible, historical change that dialectical materialism analyzes.Similarly, neither God, liberalism, nor capitalism can be rationalized through dialectics as eternal truths. Liberalism and capitalism emerged from specific material conditions, and while they have shaped historical development, they are not immutable. Dialectical materialism offers a method for understanding the material world and the historical process, not a belief in unchanging abstract principles.

>>638
There is still much about physics we don't know about
We only just began discovery of the subatomic realm. And political/economic systems aren't even agreed upon by their mere definition.

>>639
It’s true that there’s still much we don’t know about the subatomic world. But that uncertainty doesn’t disprove dialectical materialism. The real question isn’t whether science uncovers new phenomena—it’s whether those discoveries materially affect human productive activity and social relations.Take Carbon-14: its radioactive decay had no bearing on human life for most of history. It only became socially relevant once humans discovered it and integrated it into scientific labor—radiocarbon dating. It crossed from the natural domain into the social.Subatomic and quantum physics may eventually follow suit—quantum computing, for example, could restructure parts of our economy. But until such breakthroughs shape production, they remain at a level of existence detached from daily life. Dialectical materialism deals with the mutual development of humans and nature, mediated through labor—not abstract metaphysics.The claim that political and economic systems aren’t “agreed upon by definition” misses the point. Social systems aren’t sustained by philosophical consensus; they persist because humans build, participate in, and transform them through material activity. Whether or not we define them the same way, they exist—and we live in their consequences.

Was tricked to sign a letter of resignation from my job at the russian post office. Despite the fact that I was on probation and my employment contract was fixed-term (although informally after its termination they almost always offer a full-time position) my…I don't know - supervisor? the main bitch of the workplace? didn't like me because of a couple of fuckups like a cash shortage, which I was really guilty of and paid for out of my own pocket (the statement of financial responsibility was signed by me on the first day of employment), and she decided to lie that the employee I was replacing was about to go to work.
Which was an easily verifiable lie that I realized literally as I closed the door behind me. Ah, yes, since I quit "at my own request", I have to work for three days, so called "otrabotka" (two weeks if you were taken without probation), which I will not do (devilish?), because after signing my resignation letter I am no longer an employee and can not be forced to work.
Also new thing I learned opening the labor code for the first time.
-there is no concept of working after dismissal, but there is a concept of notification before dismissal, so it should be 3 days or 2 weeks before the fact.

Thanks for reading my stupid rant.

What makes you motivated to wake up each week day and begin another days work? Am personally not particularly motivated by things, so am looking for something of another form. Am currently a student more or less dreading and finding it difficult to imagine enjoying most of my life. Am looking for a perspective to stop dreading the future working so much.

Know statistically that most American workers are "very satisfied" with their occupation, but find this confusing. Who would want to work? Suppose someone who rationalized, or someone who earns money by coincidence (their interests and aspirations by happenstance being economically viable). Is there some way out of this?

This tends to be true, there is the painfully labeled "post-traumatic growth" though in some (parts of) cases.

>pain and suffering is glorified as virtue.
>"you're young so you didn't suffer much so you don't appreciate or understand".
There is a pride in having worked hard, according to this ideology. The argument would be the reason am unmotivated to work is because haven't experienced this pride. This pride seems to me to be a symptom. Inherent in its function is a sort of non-knowing of what it is.

Listen to George Carlin's take on motivation.
He says motivation is troublesome because the people who have it are usually up to no good.

>The people who are motivated are the ones causing all the trouble! Stock swindlers, serial killers, child molesters, religiopolitical conservatives? These people are highly motivated!

What are we counting as violence here? Systemic violence or social murder is still a form of violence. Depriving people of housing and exposing them to the elements is still violence. It's just less direct. Most of these kinds of jobs still fall under violence, it's just what degree of removal there is (like stabbing someone vs shooting them vs dropping bombs on them vs piloting a drone to drop bombs, etc)

How the fuck are you supposed to apply for an academy for a profession where they already require you to have prior knowledge and skill for it when you want to fucking learn it? I want to study to become a 2D animator and the requirements literally require me to make a fucking short film even though I have not been taught how to before. And I cannot find any private tutoring for 2D animation so I can actually prepare to apply.
