a Socratic education only works if you already inclined towards skeptical inquiry

Or if you just accost people in the streets like Socrates :b

I work at a top university and can confirm that the overwhelming majority of students are concerned primarily about jobs. It doesn't matter how good the school is; this is an effect of industrialization and more importantly education being reduced to a means for economic development and productivity. In my experience, it is ironically worse at the "better" schools where acceptance is highly competitive. If I'm being honest, a good community college is the sweet spot: teachers invested in teaching and students with the leisure and/or low risk/investment in just learning things for the heck of it.

So no more rectangular “pizza?” We used to have brownies that smelled like kelp too.

Homeboy in the middle hasn’t passed weapon safety training apparently…
