Random Thoughts: College and Stupid, Racist Stories

But without Jon Stewart, who will gently massage our biases?

Anyone actually watch NBC News? Does anyone know for certain Brian Williams actually works for them?

The new Hitman movie looks kind of neat. I thought the first attempt at a Hitman movie was pretty forgettable.

Shouldn’t you assume someone who made a successful career without going to college is smarter than the average person who went to college?

We’re beginning to treat a college degree like a baptism, as if there’s some moral difference in having one.

Full Disclosure: I have a college degree and am very very smart.

I have a useful degree in electrical engineer, but I really don’t see why it should take 4 years to learn enough to get a job in that field.

For so much of the education system, we should start over from scratch and ask, “What exactly are we trying to accomplish here?”

I learned a couple useful things in college that help me as an engineer today. I didn’t $100,000 worth of things.

Only a tiny fraction of my useable knowledge came from college and was blown away by what I learned my first year on the job.

Computer programming is one of the more useful degrees, but really seems like a year of basics followed by apprenticeship would be better.

If the point of college is to give you knowledge and skills you’ll need for a job, even the best schools really suck at that.

I don’t anything about becoming a doctor or a lawyer, but four years of college to learn tech skills is idiotic.

Tech degrees are different. If someone has a masters, you get wary. If they have a doctorate, you assume they can’t do anything practical.

I will teach my dog to wag his tail when evolution is mentioned and then he will be a smart dog.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg also found out that when you drink enough, the Constitution talks to you and tells you what it really means.

I got a one star review for the Audible version of my novel. “stupid and a little racist.” That’s not a good review!

Best I can tell, my story is racist because Islam gets mentioned in it and Islam is now a race.

And he didn’t like the action scenes? Everyone else liked the action scenes. The guy must be a weirdo.

I got some good advice early on: If anyone is ever critical of your work, obsess on that criticism until you tire yourself out.

Anyway, I just want to counter this libel. My story is not stupid or racist. Your face is stupid and racist.

Anyway, promotion for my novel Superego starts soon, so expect to hear a lot more about it. And it is awesome.

AND THE VOICE ACTOR DIDNT JUST PHONE IT IN HE DID A GREAT JOB!

I haven’t tired myself out yet.

And the female characters weren’t goofy! Again, you’re mistaking things for your face!

My favorite SNL sketch is the one where the guy is like, “I’m Doug, and I’m outta heeeere.”

  1. We’re beginning to treat a college degree like a baptism, as if there’s some moral difference in having one.
    1) I think college is used as an intelligence test since no one believes in IQ tests.

    2) See Acts 10:43-48. Note the sequence of events.

  2. I thought one reason racism was bad is that it’s not a person’s choice to be born whatever race and racism punishes him for that. So I guess if insulting Islam is racist then it follows that it is impossible to become Islamic unless you were born that way. That’s going to make converting people hard. No wonder Islamists want to just kill everyone who isn’t Islamic.

  3. Counseling and Testing at my University informed me that I was wasting my time sitting in their classes. They promised to give me a call if they hired someone smart enough to teach me something. I haven’t heard from them.

  4. “The new Hitman movie looks kind of neat. I thought the first attempt at a Hitman movie was pretty forgettable.” Saw the first one a couple of times, and the second time to verify: I don’t think the screen writers knew what was going on.
