Academia is a joke, it's turned into a socialist PC degenerate play-pen for morons to not think and accept social norms of conformity. Mass retardation being programmed into consciousness.
I can't help but think that a lot of this can be traced back to the "self-esteem" movement of the 60's and 70's where some people suddenly had this (really BAD, in my opinion) idea that we are all "entitled" to feel really good about ourselves at all times, no matter what... so they started handing out "participation medals" to those who finished last in the race so they wouldn't have to sit with the unpleasant thought of not being very good at something.
40 years later, sociologists are scratching their heads, wondering why mediocrity is taking over the world... well, HELLO... if you render excellence meaningless by rewarding stupidity, why bother to accomplish anything...
Hell yes. Oh poor us, we wouldn't want reality to set in so we can properly navigate reality at all... nah...let's just make people "Feel-good" so they can delude themselves and keep going into something they aren't good at! Double-plus good!
I hope Steemit doesn't go that route. There are no measures for how to reward anyone, and some "equal" distribution ideas are popping up it seems... everyone deserves a reward for posting LMAO.
I'm a newcomer to Steemit so I won't get too vocal about that till I feel better informed... but I'm all in favor of a quality/merit based curation system, even if that will still be somewhat subjective. IF, of course, the true objective of Steemit is to create something of lasting value. But that's for a different discussion...
Very good point @denmarkguy, I think there may be some truth to this. I'm going to consider it further.
Not just mediocrity but an aversion to being uncomfortable with idea, thus we have "safe spaces". I still can't quite believe how they were ever accepted, @krnel I guess you're right, Universities are just a play-pen. Maybe they should just be dismissed outright as such.
Agreed. You want to know how it happened? The most instructive hour you'll spend on this subject...
