A significant number of people are of the anti-intellectual opinion that there is no time for cultivating your intellect or working on acquiring a liberal education given the current state of affairs. These people are retarded.

the concern is how to maintain the required moral for that pursuit, not the value of the pursuit

Individualism, aided in growth by the destruction of the family brought on by feminism and welfare systems in which any thought of moral responsibility for taking care of others is surrendered to the state, can leave a nihilistic taint on ambition when the only purpose one can find for bettering oneself are the immediate materialistic rewards, with no motivation offered from being one of many parts of a compound system that improves upon itself generation after generation.
>>
>>544695502
Having low morale is only an issue for those who put value in the terrestrial, when this mentality is exactly what a liberal education liberates you from. Might sound like a catch-22 and it might be to some extent, but it doesn't really have to be.

>Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

I am.
>>
>>544696875
Nah you fucking aren't. The topic isn't a lack of motivation to better yourself, but the idea that it's a waste of time to work on cultivating your intellect or to work on acquiring a liberal education because of how the world is looking currently. The people who think this is a waste of time are always the same people who think that masturbating, playing video games, and watching anime is not a waste of time given how the world is currently looking.

>>544697294
And in my first post I attributed this, at least in part, to the destruction of the family which has led to immediate gratification individualism that doesn’t even consider self improvement worthwhile for the purpose continuing, building upon, and advancing the compound achievements of humanity. Those with no kids, whore moms, grandparents they hate for being boomers because a meme told them so, are happy with quick dopamine hits and a hope that in two weeks they will watch the world burn. Liberal education is also an integral mechanism of bringing the world into the current state of affairs.

>>544694970
>yeah I know obtaining higher education at the expense of insane lifelong debt was a meme and a lie, but please don’t think expensive indoctrination camp is a scam set up to hurt you goyim

Autodidacts are the only people I really trust when it comes to learning, they do it for love of the game and autism. Everyone else treats it as a hoop to jump through, acting to be done to cross a finish line to go onto the next thing. They forget 90% of what they “learn” too and can’t really apply it because they never gave a fuck to begin with.
People would be willing to become educated if it set one up for a good life and paid out, but it doesn’t and hasn’t for a very long time. It’s been nothing but a gigantic jewish fiat debt scam

> grandparents they hate for being boomers

Anon that generation sold the country and all of us, straight into the sacrificial mouth of Saturn and then replaced us and lol’d about it. I remember boomers having conversations about the debt when I was a kid, the conversation would always end like this “Welk won’t the kids all be fukt?” “I’m not sure, that’s not for us to worry about that’ll be up to them lololololol”
They thought they wouldn’t even live to see the negative consequences of their generations’ collectively awful and evil decisions.
>>
>>544698131
Next step for you, nigger, now that you’ve assessed collective guilt to an irrelevantly defined group of people that never acted in concert towards the goal you claim they achieved, is to demand reparations from another irrelevantly defined group.

>>544694970
you can acquire it in your freetime
I'm reading through history atm
Also some of the degrees like mbas don't train people to run businesses that well, possibly because business management more like a vocation rather than a profession underpinned by theory
>>
>>544698794
i guess what i mean to say is that it feels some other disciplines are cargo culting off of stem degrees and believe their subjects are also benefited by a formal education

Maybe mbas should have a large liberal arts component
>>
>>544697786
You don't know what liberal education means. You're also contradicting yourself, dumbass.
>>
>>544698011
I didn't say a thing about college. Yet another poster who doesn't know what a liberal education is. Not surprising, since few people do.
>>
>>544698794
history is not part of a liberal education
>>
>>544700435
ill move onto other humanities after gaining a foundation in history
>>
>>544700660
The liberal education is the Trivium and the Quadrivium. Unless you're studying those you aren't working on acquiring a liberal education.
>>
>>544697294
You are basically saying your hobbies are intellectual pursuits, and everyone else's hobbies are stupid. That's all you want to hear, along with unwarranted praise.
>>
>>544700940
psychologizing like a woman, you need to study logic, which is part of the education in question, the education you don't care for, thanks for proving my point retarded pleb
