Time Cube - Encyclopedia Dramatica - 0 views

  • NATURES HARMONIC 4-DAY TIME CUBE IS THE TRUTH. YOU ARE EDUCATED STUPID BY YOUR GOVERNMENT AND SCHOOLS TO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS ONE DAY, WHEN IT IS CLEAR TO ALL ENTITIES THAT THERE ARE 4 SIMULTANEOUS CUBED DAYS GOING ON AT THE SAME TIME, THANKS TO THE UNITED STATES AND THE JEWS. EVIL ACADEMIC BASTARDS WHO PREACH THE ONE TIME THEORY ARE KEEPING YOU STUPID AND SHOULD BE KILLED. GOVERNMENT, RELIGION AND CORPORATE MONEYMOGULS ARE ALSO EVIL FOR SUPPRESSING TIME CUBE, AND NEED TO BE HANGED AT GALLOWS IF THEY DO NOT CHANGE THEIR WAYS.
  • TIME CUBE IS A "T.O.E." - THEORY OF EVERYTHING: TIME, LIFE AND TRUTH. TO BELIEVE OTHERWISE MAKES YOU EVIL. THERE ARE FOUR 24 HOUR DAYS ON THE PLANET EARTH. HUMAN LIFE IS A "CRAP SHOOT." MALES AND FEMALES ARE TWO SEPARATE CUBES. GENE RAY, TIME CUBE REVEALER, IS THE WORLDS SMARTEST HUMAN BEING. HE IS ALSO A COUSIN OF PIRAT PONTON. HUMANS ARE CUBES, NOT ENTITIES. MIDNIGHT BE BLACK RACE DAY. MATH IS TEH EVIL. ALL NUMBERS EQUAL ZERO. HOW COULD CUBELESS JEW GOD-QUEER CREATE MAN FROM DIRT WHEN BODY IS 75 PERCENT WATER. WORD ADULTISM IS ANTI-CHILD. MAN IS PERSONIFIED PYRAMID; THE HEAD IS MADE OF FOUR CORNERS - TWO, EARS NOSE, AND BACK CORNER. TIME IS CUBIC NOT LINEAR. NO THIS IS NOT A RUBIX CUBE HAHAHA LOL0RZ HAX0RZ A MOTHER AND A BABY ARE THE SAME AGE: 16 YEARS OLD CUBED NATURE IS DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND, SO ALL EXPLANATION MUST BE DONE IN ALL CAPS FONT SIZE=5.
  • (NOTE: BELOW, THE FAGGOTY PORTION OF THIS ENTRY BEGINS, DENOTED BY THE FACT IT IS NOT IN CAPS, AND IS OBVIOUSLY WRITTEN BY A PRETENTIOUS JEW.) First, Time Cubers are absolute nutjobs; only Alex Chiu comes close for sheer amounts of certifiable insanity. They typically type in all-caps, they believe bullshit theories about the universe, and are as elitist as your resident indie fucktard. Thus, it's very easy to troll them. Say there's only one time. Say 1 + 1 = 2. They HATE that. Say that cubes have 6 sides, not 4. If you want, it's extremely simple to act like a Time Cuber. The caps lock is your best friend in this case, but you have other opportunities: Blame everything on the Jews. Yes, we know, everything is already their fault, but since they're already responsible for world hunger, war, and Quasidan, we may as well blame fake things on them, too. Whenever someone claims a fact, say "You are educated stupid," and begin ranting about the evil academic agenda. E-points if you can a) blame it on multiple groups, or b) come up with unique ways to kill said groups. Gene Ray prefers crucifixion or burning in Hell - strange for someone who claims to not believe in God - but your mileage may vary. The less facts you can cite, the more successful your Time Cube argument will become. Wager money on it! Offer to kill your children! Claim that your amazing and superior Time Cube ideas are being silenced by the evil academics! The possibilities are endless!

antropologi.info - anthropology in the news blog - Do we (still) need journals? - 0 views

  • For the most part, presses and journals as they now exist do not serve the interests of intellectual or cultural development. To the contrary, their proliferation is symptomatic of increasing hyper-specialization in which there is more and more about less and less. This is going in the opposite direction of history, in which there is increasing interconnectedness. So my advice is to forget journals – I no longer read any academic journals and I stopped publishing in them years ago. The only function presses and journals serve is to authorize those who write for them among a dwindling group of peers. If ideas are to matter – and I believe it is crucial that they do – we must completely change the way in which they are communicated.

News: Video Killed the Faculty Star - Inside Higher Ed - 0 views

  • selective editing is the very thing the use of video invites – and it’s something that should be a real concern for academe
    • Bill Genereux
       
      Exactly why video literacy is so important
  • We have a genuine problem in what amounts to the public misrepresentation of what has taken place in classrooms, combined with the incredible persuasiveness of video
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • the dialogue between professors and students should stay within the closed community of the classroom
  • The notion is that academic freedom and completely honest communication in the classroom requires a certain degree of privacy for all the people there, that they need to be able to be frank, that they need to express their emotions honestly, that the classroom is not a stage, that it’s not designed to be a public performance
  • Phone cameras, the apparent source of the Louisiana State clip, allow students to surreptitiously record just about anything, and granting hundreds or thousands of students access to a video – password protected or not – obviously invites distribution.

Education killing creativity - 0 views

  •  
    Sir Ken Robinson speaks about how our education system strips students of their creativity. It teaches us to not risk ever being wrong. "If you're not prepared to be wrong, you will not come up with anything original." The hierarchy of educational importance begins with math and science and ends with the arts. The system was born of the Industrial Revolution pragmatically. We're in post-Industrial Revolution times. Academic inflation is necessitating that one gets a MA for a good job.
  •  
    This makes me think back to the other day in class when Dr. Wesch brought up excellent questions. Who decided in 16 weeks is enough time to be educated in a certain subject? We cram so much information into such a short amount of time. Even the way we are taught to learn is sometimes misguiding. Ken Robinson makes a great point when he states the following: "All children are born artists...either we grow into it or we grow out of it or rather we get educated out of it."
