Relentless advancement to produce new gen of blob-no-thoughts seppos

I asked Wendy if I could read the paper she turned in, and when I opened the document, I was surprised to see the topic: critical pedagogy, the philosophy of education pioneered by Paulo Freire. The philosophy examines the influence of social and political forces on learning and classroom dynamics. Her opening line: “To what extent is schooling hindering students’ cognitive ability to think critically?” Later, I asked Wendy if she recognized the irony in using AI to write not just a paper on critical pedagogy but one that argues learning is what “makes us truly human.” She wasn’t sure what to make of the question. “I use AI a lot. Like, every day,” she said. “And I do believe it could take away that critical-thinking part. But it’s just — now that we rely on it, we can’t really imagine living without it.”

A friend of mine had her boyfriend go in and take an important test in her name when she was badly sick. No one cared or even noticed. College has always been fake. Its basically a paper saying you are wealthy and privileged enough to be hired by a Fortune 500. Lie as much as you can, fleece those shithole companies, say you have 50 degrees when you have none shrug-outta-hecks

Yeah cheating was rampant when I was in school. I remember in my physics class there was a group who had access to each midterm and final exam and would cheat. They wouldn't share with anyone else and sure as shit weren't going to say how they got ahold of the tests. Most of us were irritated because A) we actually did the work of learning the material; B) everything was graded on curve.

Professor was trying to figure out who they were, but you can't just accuse people of something that could get them expelled just because they got a 91% on a test.

The same thing happened to me. Ironically I was foolish for not trying harder to be included in that "group". When I complained at home, I got the "oh you did it all by your self and didnt need to cheat, be proud of that!" - My own family believes that some magical force will "reward" pure intentions and so keep being "good workers". In the end the people that cheated graduated with honours and now earn more money than me. Life is rarely fair, until we make it so.
