Starting Fresh

Welcome back, friend. Please, say hi! Some of my favorite people live way too far away, but we can still be friends. I’m in my 30s, I’m a doctor, and I love random bits of knowledge; share something with me? My blog name is inspiried by “tmesis” is the only word in the English language that starts with tm-. It refers to when you insert one word inside another, for example: abso-fucking-lutely, which I find delightful.

researching the history of education in japan and learning that, pre–Meiji Restoration, peasants/commoners formed their own schools to become educated because it was the best way of fighting tax fraud.

That is, when an official told you, a rice farmer, that you owed more taxes than you really did, it was very useful if you were good enough at math to know he was lying (and could prove it) and if you were good enough at writing to write a letter to your government defending your case.

all of which is to say it's crazy that mega-corporations are now pushing education to be "what if you paid us whatever we tell you to for the rest of your life and never do math or write anything ever again"

I always wanted to be the guard that tells only lies

[cryptotheism]

I mean I've actually never wanted to be that.

[cryptotheism]

Stupid stupid stupid. C'mon. At this rate I'll never be a lie guard.
