It is disgusting to ask for money in exchange for information. Like JSTOR, it pisses me off that I see articles on Google Scholar that I need to read in order to gain more knowledge and insight in the subject I am studying but then I get blocked from the information because these whores require that I give them money in order to provide me with the information I seek. It's just like being on the street and you ask someone "what time is it" and they respond with "I'll tell you for $5.00"
Education should be free or at least affordable to anyone. Profiteering from "education" is nothing more than the prostitution of intellect. In the end they do not teach you as a Master would teach an Apprentice because in this case the "master" is too busy keeping his research secret so his "intellectual property" isn't stolen; if you know about how DNA was discovered you will know what I'm talking about. The student in this case will inherently receive a lesser education than the professor.
I was a history buff before I received a degree in the subject. I feel much more mature now in my thinking. By the way, I wish I had access to JSTOR right now...
@fringeelements But I have to say that I realised that in some areas of historical studies, the academics form mafia like cliques where opposing views are not allowed. And they reinforce their propagandist views by citing each other. I am not happy with such a situation at all...
The main difference between an amateur enthusiast and a university degree holder? Peer review. And no, bouncing your ideas off a bunch of you tube users or blog readers doesn't count. The degree of insight, rigor and accuracy exacted by most academic journals is far greater than in any other forum, even in a field like history. Far from being a bunch of mutually congratulating insiders belonging to incestuous clubs, most academics spend most of their time evicerating each other. Jstor rocks btw!
And yet, there are more marxists per capita in "academia", more people in 'academia' believed the USSR would last as long as the US than the general public.
Also most of them believe in morality, the optimality of the state, and that the races of man have aggregate genetic equality in the brain. These are all clearly and obviously false beliefs which most "academics" hold, and they are core.
And that they "eviscerate each other" means, analytically, that most of them are wrong.
These are exactly the sort of unsubstantiated assertions (most academics are Marxists, most are in denial about racial differences etc.) that, if made in an academic context, would cost you your credibility - and that would be the best of all possible scenarios! You underestimate the diversity of opinion in universities and over simplify the process by which a community arrives at a consensus over what is "true."
Marixism, to take but one example, is a vast and complex school of thought ranging from an analysis of 19th century industrial capitalism stressing economic and technological accounts of social change to the cultural radicalism of 1960s new Left Marxism, which more traditional Marxists hold in contempt. The most powerful anti-Marxist critiques have come from universities (think Robert Nozick at Harvard). Your view that consensus is the only mark of truth is unscientific to say the least.
University has something that self education does not: pressure. Peer pressure and the need meet a deadline. Those don't sound like good things, but I've learned way more in the last 3 years of college/university than the prior 5 outside of academics. I'm an autodidact but I never had to put as much concentration into learning as I have in school. And your final comment about textbooks being an opinion as good as any man's is bullshit.
History? Economics? Biology? There's a big difference between the hard sciences and other things. In the hard sciences where truth can be easily empirically tested and where there's less politics, a hierarchical approach to discovering truth makes sense. But those fields don't need universities.
I'm sure you're studying hard. Karl Marx also probably put a lot of effort into his theories, and theologians spend lots of time and energy defending the bible. Effort is not the point.
@fringeelements I understand the difference between a topic like physics or chemistry, and say, anthropology or the so-called "political science." My problem is with what you said here: "The fact that something's in a textbook means that it's probably undergone less scrutiny than if it were just idea presented as one man's argument, which is what it really is."
My major, statistics, has a related field called econometrics, required for an ECON degree. It's more than mere guess-work. It's math.
Exactly. Disciplines that merely require a lot reading of books do not require college educations. For that matter neither does art, music, or a number of others. Hardcore sciences and are another matter along with engineering.
The thing about the Historians is so true. I learn more reading what I want than class work, but still, you don't have any respect unless you have that magic piece of paper.
if i'm already sub'd to you, where is my Surplus Margin-v-number_of_vids_i_get_from_you aggregate has-tax curve price-point? Please, for State's sake, don't get suspendered AGAIN without letting me know first, 'k? c'mon, dawg.... Movement™.
I am not sure how your video got on my iPhone, but you are right. I clicked on as I saw the JSTOR icon. I have access to this research portal from Indiana University. History is the STORY we spin or we tell as a cross between the philosophical and the poetic "facts" of events. We have to spin these stories to remain in power unto the conclusion of our historical process. Delicious.
@fireman12888 i share your grief/quest; and have come to no yield myself; am thinking of just calling this dude my new Anarchy Guy™, he seems to have the thing down, plus th' "Stodies" name is win with ladies. I'll totally letcha know if i find CF vids in groups of 2 or more tho.

The mises people are really funny. Murray Rothbard is a wholly owned subsidiary of Koch family foundations.
While he dupes you idiots into jabbering nonsense about von mises, but he has been purchased by a giant energy corporation and he runs every idea past his corporate masters.
Murray Rothbard WAS a wholly owned subsidiary of Koch Family foundations. He used to run every single opinion past his corporate masters until he descended into hell to meet his true master.
I didnt pay much attention at the time, but maybe he died because he was upset that his overlords in big tobacco were getting their clocks cleaned.
How sad that this filthy racist pig wasn't aborted, but it is great news that he is dead now.
I love paranoid people, besides not having a shred of proof, Wheredyourgonadsgo doesn't even come up with a motive for the Koch family foundations to "own" Murray Rothbard or how a human being can be a subsidiary.
i actually think i learn more by watching documentaries and reading books and articles on the internet and in magazines in my own leisure than i do from attending college lessons. College, university ect, is just to show that you are able to carry out a series of tasks for a long period of time.
i was actually wondering why colleges didnt put up more of there classes on youtube or some other video site. I think i would be able to learn a lot more if I could watch a class over and over in the comfort of my computer chair. but they wouldnt make much money they would they.
". . .they wouldnt make much money they would they."
Colleges don't sell education; they sell degrees. See Good Will Hunting. Bear in mind, however, Thoreau's observation that colleges charge for what is least valuable about attending college and that what is most valuable is without charge.
Grotesque.

Those who reject educated guesses must also reject science. One could even say that science is the art of making educated guesses.
