Why is that the majority of the college educated people these days, are selfish and narcissist?

Low selfie steam.

I haven’t laughed this hard in ages. Oh my fukking god

If anything I want more people to get into STEM.

Because Babylonian indoctrination produces Babylonian results

 

[UnQuantized]

Low trust society. People see the way those at the top conduct themselves and decide that being amoral is the way. We live in a very nihilistic time.

 

[TRUEST]

You have to ask yourself why you care so much.

Life obeys a simple logic.

The logic of back and front.

For there to be a front there must be a back. For the world to produce good people, it needs the existence of wickedness. The very existence of goodness relies on its opposite.

Or to look at it from a religious point of view - the idea of heaven exists entirely because of hell.

So my child, listen to me. Rest your nerves. Stand back and observe. Let the ministry of excellence endow you with knowledge which is everlasting.

Its like the majority of people who work hard in these STEM professions, are the most selfish and greedy and irrationally materialistic these days. Its almost as if being a good person while making a high income is considered a fable, and some even shame you for volunteering on giving back to the less fortunate. Those same people only give back when a tax break in involved and considers anything considerate towards others as a "handout" to make them "lazy". It wasn't like that 30 years ago, when educated people making money prided themselves on educating others and giving back whatever way they can and see the world as something bigger than them.

Guess the "socialist" label is a shaming tactic to gatekeep the handful of wealthy people to make society a slightly better place to live in. @Phitz @Gloxina

I'll use education to give you a different perspective on this situation.

I know quite a few educated brothas and sistas in the mid 2000s who did give back by going into teaching (and by doing so sacrificed their own earning potential) just to leave the occupation altogether a few years later due to being disrespected on the daily by their students and even worse, trashy parents that couldn't care less that a Black person who achieved what society tells them is impossible is trying to light that same fire in your son or daughter.

If you're an intelligent person who is formally educated and has career options, you're not gonna have a bunch of patience for a classroom of students (and their parents) who's actions prove time and time again that they're not worthy of your time and effort. Not when they took a paycut to give back and you and your idiot seeds have zero appreciation of what they're trying to do for the same community they came from and beat the odds in. You know who has patience for that? The so-called teachers who know they can't do anything else but be glorified baby-sitters because they're just not smart enough to achieve professional success in a job where production and accountability actually matters.

So the best and brightest leave because the grass is actually greener on the other side. They went to college and earned those degrees to better themselves, and when they tried to be selfless and give back, they got nothing but grief in return. Parents and students think every teacher needs that job, when the fact is the brightest ones don't. They went into teaching because they wanted to, but since the recipients can't do their part, they no longer want to do theirs. It's only natural.

So they leave teaching and they move on to a more lucrative career field devoid of immature, ungrateful a$$holes. They also take with them the reality with all of that "give back" BS. This is not to say that they'll completely shut down their altruistic selves, but now they know that not everyone deserves some kind of hand-out. You want my time, effort, and mentorship? Prove it with your effort. Prove it with your grades. Prove it with your conduct. Prove it with how you treat others. Prove it by showing me that you have the potential to beat the odds like we did. If you don't have those qualities, I don't have the time for you.

The part that I can't stand about this type of talk is that y'all are so quick to judge people for being selfish without ever analyzing what got them to that point in the first place. Most people aren't born with a cold heart, but if the world around them wants to mistake kindness for weakness, intelligence for "being white," and other acts of cruelty and ungratefulness, well when that person turns their back on the community, you got what you deserved.

Trust me, I know that shıt first hand, and I'm much happier and successful now than I was during my "give back" days. There are many who deserve that agent of uplifting, but most people don't. Too many want something for nothing else aside from the fact that they exist. Call me elitist, I don't care and would probably agree with you. My actions and achievements have earned me the right to be discriminatory in regards to who I choose to help. However, when someone with options gives you their time, either appreciate it or you become an erased bullet point on their agenda of good things to do.

Because right now a lot of college educated people and kids in college come from 'liberal' middle to upper-middle class parents that don't have a clue how working class people live yet they think they have all the answers to make society better.

It's no coincidence that a lot of college educated people and kids in college identify themselves as a 'communist' and/or a different form of gender identity.

I’m mean it’s 2022. If you can’t make it past college in your 20s you have no one to blame but yourself. College is the new HS diploma in developed countries.

So 30 years ago it was still a big deal to graduate and you were still more educated than most people. Now everyone has a college degree and they’re not nearly as hard as they used to be to get because of computers (cheating is so normal in college nowadays it’s a complete joke).

And anyone who’s been to school in the last 5 years absolutely knows this.

What dahell you think powers the digital engines of ignorance but selfie steam, breh?

Nga!
Is Selfie Steam what P Diddy uses in his rap videos?

 

[Spence]

On a serious note, minorities see a degree as a class division barrier where if you didn’t go you’re bound to be poor the rest of your life (not true). They use that as their ivory tower to look down on people.
