The future shines like gold

  “Forever” unless the knowledge is out of date, or you don’t use it and forget, or until Alzheimer’s or some other dementia happens and everything disappears (or until your death, I suppose, but gold also tends to change hands around that time).

    Do you always succumb to the need to publicly over-analyze everything?

      Yes.

      Do you always succumb to the need to publicly police people? The other person just voiced what I thought as well, that knowledge definitely isn’t forever. Why not comment on the fallacy contained in the meme?

      Hell, you wrote it down twice! You’re ahead of the fame, my friend.

  …especially the knowledge that your gold was taken.

  Unpopular opinion (apparently): I value the overpriced, yet imo absolutely priceless, education I received when I was in college/at a university.

  It’s honestly unbelievable (to me) how much people in the US look down on learning and getting an education

    This has nothing to do with education. It’s commentary on the academic job market and how professors expect post docs to work for “exposure.

      Ngl, I did not actually expand the picture to see the caption. I just saw the main image about knowledge. Post-docs absolutely get fucked and I do feel bad for them.

      I quit one year into my PhD because I was miserable in grad school. I have to assume most post-docs have some crazy resilience or some kind of mental issue/trauma that keeps them going and going. I guess that’s probably true for most people but post-docs do some seriously hard mental work and basically get shafted the entire time (at least in the US).

  Nothing a swift club to the back of the head can’t change.
