>>12734650>You bring up a fair point, but it’s not difficult to see academia is bullshit. For instance, when I graduated high school I was optimistic and wanted to be a physicist. Then a couple years into undergrad I realized academia is full of kikes and faggots, so I stopped caring.Ahh, if you are the person I replied to here (
>>12735423) then you're pretty much confirmed retarded.
If I had to guess, you were the """smart""" kid from a relatively small, socially conservative community; suburban. You had dreams of going to a good university, or atleast a passable one, and working your way up. You thought of yourself as being more open minded and clever than your peers and community members. Then you got to university, saw how difficult it would be for you and your mediocre abilities. You encountered more liberal behavior (faggots) than was tolerated in your conservative community and started to fester a seethe in your """soul""". Then as time went on, you saw how other people seemed to have disproportionately more (these kikes), and how you wouldn't be able to succeed in your goal. You fell back on your conservative upbringing. No longer open minded. "Even if you do well at university, you won't be able to make any meaningful change" to paraphrase the OP, the unstated "so why even try" left lingering. Now you're trying to protect your fragile ego by saying anyone who doesn't think the way you do is an idiot, naive, part of the in-group (kikes), destined to fail, and so on, and so on.
Now would come the most obvious response:
>nice projectionBut it's a failed """counter argument""". I went to a globally high ranking university. I scored higher in aptitude tests in high school than my university peers did in their last year of undergraduate (when applying for grad school). Peers and professors commented on my ability. Then I went on to get a masters, where the same thing happened. Averaging a 4.0 with little effort. No projection here, bud
