>be me>zoomer that reads>first year into a humanities degree, lots of reading for sources should be involved, not many job opportunities so you should only get into it if you enjoy it>teacher says "if you got into this area but you don't like reading this isn't for you">class audibly groans and complains>teacher gives 2 weeks to do a paper on a 7 page long article>class groans and tries to debate him out of itit's completely over isn't it?
yes for them
First year undergrad is pretty much high school.
>>25175454Yes and no. Philosophy degrees can actually be quite attractive in the private sector. The issue is more so that id assume you didnt enter this game to work in a corporate environment
It's over for the culture, sure. In your lifetime, people will be married to chatbots, pedophiles will be a protected category, the Yale Humanities department will teach romantasy slop, whites will pay a reparations tax, fertility will be 0.2 in the US, euthanasia will be the most common cause of death, men will be de facto barred from many professions, living wages will have cratered due to AI, and Israel will have more or less completed its genocide of the Palestinians. Be lucky you get to enjoy a few years of mere degeneracy before Hell begins. We haven't even gotten started.
>>25175478>We haven't even gotten startedI am loving it already. I used to think Infinite Jest and Brave New World were silly, baby's first walk into pessimism.Oh, boy.
>>25175454>teacher gives 2 weeks to do a paper on a 7 page long articleIs it truely that bad? I went to a special ed school in the U.S that was full of autists and other neurodivergents and they were no where near as lax. And I thought it was still more lax than regular school. And this was during the 2010’s to early 2020’s. As an example of something comparable to what op is talking about this is what we would often get for reading class during high school. >read 20 pages of this book>answer these 10-20 questions about what you read>you have 50 minutes
>>25175478The whites will end up being genocided, Europe and the anglosphere divided between spics, Chinese, and Muslims, a billion subhumans will be imported into the west, vast amounts of history and culture will be lost, the latins and whatever whites are left will be the last remnant of western civilization, and the world will plunge into techno-tyranny before falling into another dark age as the decaying corpses of the old civilization are still to big to let new ones flower for possibly over a millennia, and even then they may not reach the same heights as the west.
>>25175454>first year into a humanities degreeyou should just light a hundred grand on fire, it will be quicker
>>25175572Nah. The White man marches on, you faggot.
>>25175572The whites had their time. It's time for the rest of us to lead the charge.
>>25175579i'm a euro and my degree costs me 50 euro/year (to be fair i have special exceptions)
>>25175477>can actually be quite attractive in the private sector.if and only if you have already been given a chance to prove your critical thinking skills in a marketable way on a resume. For this you need either luck or connections to get that entry level chance to prove yourselfgraduating with a 4.0 in philosophy doesn't cut it
>>25175589>i'm a euroI'm sorry to hear that, alakum salam or whatever.
>>25175584>lead the charge back into the stone agego look out how South Africa has been doing since Apartheid ended and come back
>>25175596Oh right, because South Africa hasn't been negged to death by outside influence. Much of Africa will never prosper due to old colonialist sabotage
>>25175607>WAKANDA FOREVERshut the fuck up, retard
>>25175609Great rebuttal, kid. Let me know when you pay a mortgage and have a job.
>>25175611>strawman>non-sequiturI accept your full and unconditional surrender.
>>25175630You have to make up imaginary win conditions to self-soothe. Quite sad when you think about it. Like playing monopoly by yourself lmao.
>>25175709>You have to make up imaginary win conditionsYou had to invent potentialities for a species that didn't have any, never has and never will. Enjoy your fantasies of Wakanda and ignore all evidence to the contrary.
>>25175572>they may not reach the same heights as the west.They won't. Objectively and quantifiably, there aren't enough resources left on Earth to "re-do" modernity and a post-industrial society once our current civilization falls.
>>25175478>>25175572Chicken Little retards.
>>25175454Better than most of the professors I had a decade ago tbqh, they were all soft sacks of shit that didn't want to fail or be hard on anyone
>>25175742Retard.
>>25175584The unforunate thing is non-Whites have not in any way risen to carry the torch of Artistic greatness. The humanities dies with Whites.
>>25175732I think he meant ARTISTIC heights which preceded those two things anyway
>>25175747Shakespeare has influenced how we conduct commerce and study science. To hell with the humanities.
>>25175747Do you think it's possible to train them, at least in principle? I'm not talking Shakespeare or Milton levels of greatness, or even the Cormac and Pynchon rungs, but maybe something at the level of DFW?
>>25175752IDK there were some great Jap writers like Tanizaki and Mishima and Kawabata but even those have been replaced by mediocrities Murakami. China's contemporary literary culture is slop as well. All the good LatAm writers were mostly White. Geist passed over Africa and it's not even worth talking about the rest of this Godforsaken world. Pray for a miracle my friend.
>>25175755>All the good LatAm writers were mostly WhiteA decent amount were mixed so not true. They wouldn't be considered "White" outside of LatAm
>>25175760Borges, the best of them by far, was entirely White. Cortazar was entirely White. True Marquez was mestizo but I think he obviously played up how mixed he acutally was.
>>25175868Marquez was a mestizo all the way. Borges I agree, he is White. Don't know much about Cortazar. But there are many you fail to mention who are mixed.
