I was raised a little more like this

I always loved art ******* for this. When a teacher/professor can judge a work that is supposed to be subjective and say "nope I don't like it fail" yet the material isn't meant to be liked by everyone it's meant to be pulled from the mentality of a unique individual.

Which is why I like science. No room for whiny ***** to say "Nuh-uh that's just your opinion!"

While my favorite courses are programming. Science is of course something I can get behind.

They're supposed to judge based on the technique of the art. Lines, negative space, etc.

Yeah, I learned quickly art is like the video game world. Everybody has an opinion on what art is good and if you don't agree you're obviously wrong.

ironically this holds a pretty serious point, hahaha

confidence to be a good little drone and sit in your own little box set in place like a gear in a machine
god dammit thats an achievement, being a mindless machine part

what schools and parents SHOULD be doing is telling kids theyre clever and boost up their confidence to be something they WANT to be, not tell them what to be

Well **** , our education systems differ, because I was always told to be what I want to become, given confidence that with determination I can achieve that, all that **** .

well looking back to the schooling i went through, the higher potential ******* like science, chemistry, biology, and others, only had us doing pointless busy work with little real experiments....
horticulture ***** changed the teachers 3 times in a year so that kept changing what we studied and skipping things halfway through
PE ***** was good though they dropped that recently, (kinda says they want kids to get fat)
anyone who went to art ***** or music ***** got labelled as gay
wood shop and metal shop taught a tiny bit of useful skill but had the kids making useless ****

the only ******* where teachers put any effort into the work were the english and maths teachers (kinda says they wanted kids to be good little drones good at written and mathmatical work but not much else)

stop spelling mathmatical wrong, because i will know.

:quote mathmatical:

Let me warn you.....
if you EVER type that ******* word wrong again
.....ill know...

and next time, i will ******* EAT YOUR LIMBS
DO YOU UNDERSTAND
YOU PUTRID ******* CARN.....

thank you :0 thank you for that

Yeah, the first one was the same for me. Same with history, which is what I WANT to do. It's never USEFUL history. If I am going to run a museum, it needs to be interesting, not ******* cavemen dick farting around or roman bath houses or ******* random *** houses no one gives 2 ***** about in Australia. Those are seriously parts of history ***** . And music ***** was mandatory for us, but I hated it, as if everyone wants to learn an instrument or will EVER NEED A ******* RECORDER. There was no wood shop for me though.

But soon, I will get to university, I will **** up some **** , I will gather money, open a museum of oddities and hopefully get money. Hopefully. The best case scenario would live to see colonies on mars and open a museum on mars. Then kids who have never seen earth would want to go because they would want to know about where humans came from and **** .

you see, THERE is a creative dream....not working in an office or a factory like a drone, but a museum of oddities....your own self employment where you get to be an accentric personality

Ripleys believe it or not probably contributes to that. That show kicked *** . And the various games that took place in parts of history. Many factors.

plus in a world where everything is being streamlined towards fitting in narrow lines, if you come forwards with something that stands out as different, you'll make alot of business

Relevant.

And hey, this also gives me a good excuse to wear top hats and plague doctor outfits.

well going to school in the 90's, what i remember about history ***** was mostly a big ******* sob story about apartheid in africa and little other history aside that

that username

Oh, no, you're quite right - children DO need to be told they're special. That's a fundamental truth, in a lot of ways; for them to thrive mentally the utmost encouragement is necessary.

However, in order to realise his true potential a man needs to realise that he is not special, that he is, most likely, no different to his neighbour.

That way he can do something about it and become special, or, unbeknownst to him, he just blends in like any other, no?

Touche, anon.

Humbling children is a fool's errand, true, but I'd say that humbling oneself as an adult that you might become better at your art is not.

just curious: if a talented adult were to humble himself, why would that improve his art?

For some, it would give him incentive to become better. For others, yeah - they'll most likely disappear. The strongest heads win out, I suppose, and you must decide for yourself whether you'd rather some folk make it to square 10 and some folk stay at square 1, than all blend in at a grey level in between at square 5.

I think it's possible for an entire group of people to reach their own "square 10." But if your judgment of another is based solely on how he compares to others, there will always be losers. Not only that, but when you compare people to others, *everyone* is a loser.

Basically what I'm saying is: if people are judged based on their degree of self-actualization, rather than judged according to impersonal objectifying standards, it is possible for anyone (with the economic means to) to succeed.

Also I see no relation between this topic and humblness.

Hahahahahaahahaha

...this legit made me laugh, why the redthumbs

We use hue here.

Ah.

Was she proud?

so proud.

Haha, good one.

That image is pretty damn beautiful

They're clever. Let them figure it out.

this
made me laugh

I am succesful enough to have a roof over my head, a car that works, and and a job that pays enough money to eat buffalo wings and beer at least once a week. Non of that **** beer either, Im talking high brow yeungling. Sounds like happiness and success to me!

I agree, it's not a bad point and not a bad route in the slightest. I guess I'm one of the folk who are always looking for more in things? I dunno. I'd rather be my own boss than be useful but expendable.

Also, such a job probably pays well

That's just your brain's way of breaking down the word's molecular structure to the point where you're reading it in a completely different language.
And that's how you can tell that the base homo sapiens language consisted of the one true language that we all don't know today.

Indoeuropean, right?

Exactly.

Language can't change of course, it can only be slightly adjusted one letter at a time.

that's pretty ******* cool, is it true?

Could be jamais vu.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamais_vu

But that is when you see something everyday but you don't notice it. I notice the word but after a while it is just... Different.

As I say, it's how I was brought up, how my school dealt with things. We were all told we were clever at some point or another. Some chose to believe it, some didn't. Those who believed it never supposed otherwise, and that's what I'm illustrating here.

I wasn't aiming it at you

Just in general

my apologies :p I'm being questioned a lot on my moral code, hahaha

We have a lot of people by me who don't even try in life so that made me say something

aye, fair point.

HMMMM
...secret trapdoors

oh god that picture makes me cry

you're just dandy, you are

aaaaaa it made it! :')

I guess I was wrong! congrats!

Hahahaha
Depends how you look at it
In Australia, mates are ***** and ***** are mates

Kinda the same here in the UK, I'll joke around calling my mates ***** but if some stupid bitch with 1 child in a ******* 4x4 cuts me up, then she is also a **** , in a different way lol

aye that's true enough, hah. whereabouts in the UK you from? I'm in Hastings, south coast

North Surrey/South London, kinda in the middle lol.

Oh not too far. Cool.

used to visit Hastings alot as a wee youngling

It's a sweet place in many ways, bit of a cocaine problem but there it is

HA
