To be fair, and it took me a while to truly realize it, society as it is today puts an emphasis on being right, all the time.
I feel like it is spurred on by having limitless information at our fingertips, and multiplied by propaganda and ceaseless corrupt institutions creating the narratives we spread.
We can't be wrong, because we are supported by X/Y/Z studies from A/B/C scientific or mathematic institutes.
That creates an arrogance and a lack of accountability in our own actions; it tells us we can't be wrong if we parrot the "correct" information, so anyone who goes against us are wrong and bad people.
I’d say it has much to do with “education” or however you choose to call it. Peer review is a circlejerk on the publisher’s, the reviewer’s, and reviewee’s part. It’s all an attempt to get published, because positive findings draw more press and are thus more profitable. The reviewee wants to get published, the publisher wants to start printing, and the reviewee gets pressured as a result.
They become tribalists, then flood these institutions because who else can “educate” but the same people giving each other reach arounds? To add to the bs, it’s these institutions who train lower level teachers.
Good news is, if my ideas are correct, it’s largely an organic process, though it can certainly be taken advantage of. It’s also why I think rural areas where education isn’t centralized lean conservative who, in turn, tend to be less inexorable. The problem is, how do you make decentralized schooling palatable to employers?
While I certainly see a natural shift in attitude when it comes to new hires, I think the best option is to allow standardized testing to be done as an equivalency to diplomas. In this way, it emphasizes what you know instead of hinging on the prestige of where you may have learnt it.
Standardized testing would be good, and allow people a better opportunity to be matched as equals to those who have three hundred thousand dollars for college.
Exactly. If the left truly believed in equality, they’d be on board too. Too bad many of these ivy leagues have their noses so high up in the air, they’re breathing clouds. As someone who’s been in post secondary education, some of the dullest conversations I’ve had has been with these so called “intellectuals”.
