exactly that’s how I describe it as well, this world is highly manufactured. If you opt out you are mostly alone so this also serves as a kind of social circle

we are over saturated with economic thinking ..at this point when I hear efficiency or competitiveness a suddenly have an uncontrollable reflex of throwing up

exactly, please see the “The Tyranny of metrics” book. We are all subjected to the same system of management; kids in schools, parents at work.

I went there for undergrad and trust me it’s the hunger games. I remember for one class, DSP we would have labs before they would actually teach the material and as a student you were how the Fck can I achieve whatever the lab is asking with the knowledge we learned so far… you couldn’t and it would take a couple of labs to realize that material req was from next class.

Amazed that the author can even make this claim without affecting his/her reputation/credibility more broadly. Simply if that were the case we could’ve afford to pay for college from fixed income without the need to access loans. Second you wouldn’t have the loan crisis where the debt accelerates way above income. This is just plain dumb.

they see evil capitalists under every stone because under a amoral economic system and a high enough number of “capitalists” resorting to mischievous ways to turn a buck that’s a precautionary principle
