how come conservative students think they’re smarter than professors with doctorates and shit

conservative students swear that every university professor is some radical leftist with an agenda when usually it’s a professor that just uses critical thinking skills, context, and has empathy

if you swear all the professors you encounter are wrong, it might actually be that your opinions are outdated, bigoted, and incorrect lmao

This is actually the reason behind the popular notion within conservative circles that universities have a “liberal bias.”

Consistently, conservative students will leave higher ed because they perceive critical thinking, self-critique, and open discussion as attacks on their selfhood, rather than as a process of refining ideas and arguments. All of their accusations about how the people who disagree with them are just “too sensitive” are nothing more than projection, because they very idea that they should question their own assumptions is something they believe would only make them weak.

It’s become increasingly obvious to me that conservative people are just those who have never developed critical thinking skills

My father, who teaches drafting, CAD, and technical math at the local college, told me once that the reason he was a liberal was because “When you start learning about the world with an open mind, when you start meeting and talking to people with an open mind, when you look at the world as a whole and think about it critically, you come to realize that reality has a liberal ‘bias’, and that it’s less a bias than just the logical conclusions of intelligent, compassionate, and emphatic people who want to leave the world better than they found it. To be a conservative Republican, you have to be able to shut down and not acknowledge any of that, and get mad at anyone who tries to point it out.”

And he’s still right.

Anyone else go through that occasional phase where toast and butter is just the tastiest fucking creation on the planet and you have to restrain yourself from eating an entire loaf of bread in ten minutes

I was looking up things relating to Pluto for a project i’m working on right now and so I thought ‘yo let’s look at moons and…

Oh gee that’s an incredibly detailed picture of kerberos- wait a minute

That’s right kids, Google’s offical picture for Pluto’s fourth moon is actually just a screenshot from voltron.

“Men are so fragile” more like men get self esteem issues too, aren’t allowed to voice and express their emotions without someone criticizing or ridiculing them for it- something that both men and women are guilty of- and are tired of constantly being lumped together with sexist men when they aren’t one.
