Respect 🤛

lol

I’mma need a source for that one chief

Xeelee Sequence is basically that

I think you both agree that it’s more complicated than that and it’s a systemic thing effecting both parties. I think he just wrote it differently than you read it

Anyone taking bets yet on how long it will be before he gets “disappeared”?

I didn’t understand anything that guy said but look it’s a moth!!! 😲

I feel you, I still feel like I barely know how to speak English 🙃

John Petrucci from Dream Theater has several bangers. My current favorite is in the latter half of the song The Shadow Man Incident

I definitely should’ve worded the post better but yeah I didn’t mean to imply that it’s never taught in the states. Just that my personal experience in the system (also southern but urban) didn’t really give me any chances 😕 But honestly a large reason for that probably just came from my particular setting (I’m NOT typing that whole thing out again but in one of my reply threads I go into more detail on the weird things I grew up learning)

Ahhh I get it now. Thank you for clarifying 🙂

Damn, I like your reply

Gee, thanks buddy 😁 As for the subconsciousness peeking through and being taken as conviction… yeah, there are pris and cons to either method. Overall though, to me, life is too short to worry about it too much. I hope you have a fantastic rest of your week 🙂

I kinda figured, but I also wanted to see if they had a follow-up prepared 😂

Fair enough. Also thanks for not being one of the comments saying ‘they definitely exist in America how dare you’ 🙄 I could’ve worded it better but the goal of the post was to find edicational systems different than the one I personally went through, not to try to define all of America’s system in a few sentences. I put a fairly detailed description of that in one of my other replies if you’re curious but regardless, thanks for your time 🙂

Follow-up question: business schools? As in, specialization before high school graduation? I know there are a handful of ‘premier’ schools here in the states but most of them are expensive, exclusionary, and focused on simply getting INTO a better university (prep schools). Most of us just go through general public education which can vary wildly and you definitely do not (in most cases) get to choose between the “business” branch or the “engineering” branch

I mean, it felt pretty natural to me. None of that synthetic THC-A nonsense. I’m willing to admit it wasn’t my most intelligent moment though 🤣

Idk that’s just, like, my opinion, man… But I think it opens up lots of possibilities for humanity long-term. But yeah no, I’m not AI, just awkward and forward

Maybe “smart” was too simple. Instead let’s go with “politically aware enough to care, rich/connected enough to make a change, and smart enough to know when to act”. Kind of a big ask, I know, but it I know plenty of people who are missing at least one of those three

Definitely agree on wanting to kick his head though

Fair enough. Thanks for the input buddy 😁

Yeah, a lot of these comments seem to think I meant “Mandarin isn’t taught anywhere in the US” when really my point was that the particular schools I attended did not have it available. But that’s on me as OP. Thanks for your input 😁
