I fucking hate academics. Tell me why this fuck just told me my "argument" (I personally think something sucks and maybe it should be done a specific different way, to ensure quality) is not valid because I argued that people around me agreed with me. (I was voicing my opinion, not making a fucking statement)
I don't believe that I'm right just because people around me agree with me. But apparently you're not allowed to criticise anything or give suggestions for change if you haven't researched the public opinion on it????
I hate these people so much. I wish to live in anarchy just so I can slap the shit out of these people until they understand that problems exist and can be criticised before you wrote a fucking paper on it. I cannot believe how disrespectful that is towards victims. Always demand proof in form of academic papers. That is such a privileged opinion and so fucking relevant right now.
People can dislike and criticise shit, even if they aren't professionals in the field. Even if they aren't able to write a paper or conduct scientific research. Even if they don't fully understand what your shitty paper is about. People are allowed to complain and make suggestions because criticism is the base of academic progress.
I hate hate hate academics so much. Their whole system is build to keep people out of their space so they don't get outside information unless they want to.
Its so representative of higher institutions and people in power, who refuse to listen to people outside their circle and just decide to close the doors on those who don't fulfill their exclusive criteria. This is also representative of racism, homophobia etc in the western world, the health system, basically any exclusive institution or similar.
The stuff that's wrong with academics is what's wrong with the world and especially anything related to information gathering and representation: Those in power don't want to listen to those beneath them and put up hurdles to prevent the voices of those beneath them from being heard, except when they want them to be heard.
I’m new here…are you really going to make a Google doc of internet opinions on the antisemitism/lack thereof in goblin lore, or are you being polite as people scream & holler that one of the most studied racist tropes doesn’t exist? Either way your patience is impressive for an evil wizard!
A bit of both… I think it’s interesting to get a subsection slice of perspectives from my audience. (I’ve cut out the nastiest responses.) I’ve learned that I have some learning to do myself, which is great.
Notes: I don’t personally endorse/oppose any particular opinion shown here, but there are a lot of interesting perspectives and anecdotes to
I think this might be useful to people, especially authors and other creators looking for a range of opinions from both Jews and Gentiles alike.
Maths exam today
As much as I would like to delegate this task to the henchmen, being 17 and in high school means I don't quite have henchmen yet Hoping that if I fail, I can use the spite as motivation to darken my heart (and study harder for the next one) One must remember that you cannot build an evil death ray, or any kind of sinister machinery really, without some basic understanding of mathematics Stay evil, Love you all!! ✨✨✨✨✨✨
I used to have plans like if I ever get covid and I'm quarantined for 10 days I'm doing this and this and this and now that I actually am quarantined I have to study for exams all day long so nothing changed in my routine from a week ago. I wasn't even quarantined
The greatest compliment I’ve ever had on a piece of academic writing is definitely that it has a narrative-like flow and cohesion. It’s so encouraging because not once has that ever been my goal it just happens because I like telling stories

If I do end up becoming a professor I hope I either don’t end up with those insane students who try to fuck their professors, or that I do and that I’m so off putting and weird that they never dream of it again
