Friday Crop Report on a Thursday.

Some graduates take 1/3 of what they were taught 1/3 thinking for themselves and 1/3 they learn on-the-job training. Boom Sucessufull.

University is just a resume filler. Can or are you willing to learn. Thats it. 10 years in your field they no longer care what classes you took, its experience by then. Heck I don’t use 2% what was learned in University, but its a stepping stone to open the doors.

Wow, Chuck your such a fool.

We have smart Drs. Cryan Ryan isn't one.


The ones who don't get it are Liberals like Chuck who want to push some agenda they read or were handed on everyone instead of letting the population decide what's right.

See chuck that's the difference between me and you.

I want to be left alone do my own thing you want to push stuff on others.

SF the worlds a simple place for hyper partisan simpletons like you who suggest that everyone who gets a post secondary education is a left winger.

We know that many conservatives don't like science or evidence based decision making so the anti education schtick fits well.

Why do you even bother coming back when you could join the Trumpers in Trumpland.

Some days this site so depressing I swear to shut it off. And then I get over it one more time.
The degree of identity politics used on here, can at times be extremely all or none. Chuck being the worst offender by far isn't necessarily the only one.
Any reasonable person with moderate intelligence, reading and critical thinking skills can see some of his posts for how guilty they are.
I don't however have the energy to point out and correct all of his miserable transgressions.
To say his skill sets are misleading is a tragic understatement.

[AlbertaFarmer5]

chuck talks on here like he has about a grade 4 education !

Which makes it even funnier that he is ineffectively trying to argue with university educated sf3, reverting to his usual grade four level straw man argument. I doubt he sees the irony though.

[AlbertaFarmer5]

When you are a far right, libertarian, wanna be republican almost everybody is to your left. LOL

Chuck, you completely missed the point as usual.

It would have been equally inappropriate for professors in STEM courses to have ranting against Obama, or to offer their pro Stephen Harper view points. (They weren't of course, 100% of the professors who saw a need to inject their political view points into an otherwise non political technical lecture were left leaning, some leaned so far they fell right off the edge I think)

There is nothing political about organic chemistry, or advanced thermodynamics. And the STEM programs have the least radical left extremist professors ( and students) compared to the soft sciences. And that is a scary thought.

Intellectual idealism is dangerous when it is not based on reality or practical experience. My philosophical thought for the day lol.

It is indeed a deep philosophical thought, but I have to take exception to the wording. Unless I misunderstand you.

Idealism couldn't possibly be based on reality or practical experience. Reality and practical experience immediately, unforgivingly and harshly crush any such notion as idealism.

In order to maintain these radical idealist view points, such as our mutual friend Chuck, one has to be completely and purposefully detached from reality. And anyone with practical experience in, anything practical, could not possibly remain an idealogue.

You are quite correct, what I should have said was intellectual idealism is dangerous because it isn’t in any way based on reality or practical experience.

[blackpowder]

What does intellectual thought and idealism have to do with each other??


Actually the more I think about it, pure idealists aren't that intelligent.
