When I was a history and anthropology Prof my students would complain that I wouldn't know this or that fact. I had to explain that there was no way I'd know it all, but I definitely knew more than they did. I studied because I want to know more, not because I wanted to correct idiots.
Why do you hate yourself so much?
Dude, you show an interest in culture and history and they say that should be your major. Then they never give you a job outside of academia as a viable option. Then they act like they're doing you a favor for a shit job with little pay, because someday you might get their kind of money.
That's why I say Academia is a pyramid scheme.
I almost majored in poly sci with a history minor before I joined the military. Couldn’t imagine how shitty it would have been if I followed through with that useless scrap of paper.
Well, any old degree meets the prerequisite to be commissioned, which is a much better/easier path in the military.
We denigrate colleges and lower grade teachers because they're all leftist wackos pushing propaganda on kids and young adults, but that's why the left is winning. Imagine how society would be today if all those college professors and high school teachers had views that better align with how we see the world.
We'd probably flip the script and laud educators for being the bulwark preventing our youth from being brainwashed.
Are you a "Boasian"?
Little more advanced than that. I do go into cultures and study them directly. It's weird how much people don't do this.
