A college degree is less important now due to technology & alternative learning options. Intelligence is not solely measured by a degree as it encompasses various skills. Critical thinking, problem solving, creativity & adaptability are examples of intelligence that can be demonstrated through different means.
Yes, I agree with you, gone are those days when education was all a man needs for survival, here in Africa we were meant to understand that going to school and getting the degrees and certificates was for our future, as we can use it to get well paid jobs (Government or private) in other to earn a living, but as we grew up and faced life proper we were meant to understand that survival was about 30% of your degree and 70% of what you can do with your hands, like a skill,
Most persons studied hard to know, while some studied to pass exams, the ones that studied to know actually knew and those that studied to pass exams, they actually passed the exams but forgot what they read after the exams, most first class students can't use their intelligence to real life issues, they are only good at reading for exams and getting good grades.
Even if college degrees are necessary to get jobs, colleges and universities are completely and totally incompetent at training anyone for anything. These garbage institutions refuse to apologize for promoting violence against me, and they do not even recognize their own Nazism. This is a quote from a Hitler worshipping Nazi professor who has failed to realize that I am calling out universities for being full of idiots who act like Nazis.
Frankly, your manner of calling people to your cause leaves much to be desired. I can't believe it is effective for you. I don't know of anyone who would be attracted to support you by receiving a giant image of Hitler in their inbox. Most people would immediately block someone who sent a giant image of Hitler to them, and indeed, the only reason I didn't do so is because I have known you a while and we've had some interesting mathematical interactions, and so I think you deserve some leeway. But I don't care ever to receive such a message again. I support your right to cancel class if you are threatened, and I have told you as much in the past. But as far as I am concerned, your current behavior on the matter puts me completely off.
Kind regards,
Joel
I showed this professor a picture of Hitler because he was a professor at a Nazi institution. The correct response to this would be to denounce the violence and threats of violence against me. This professor refused to denounce the threats of violence because this professor promotes violence. But I am glad that this professor responded so that I can post this message all across the internet so that we can all mock universities for the s@#$holes that they really are. This professor cannot even do any research that has any practical value whatsoever. Or maybe it will in the deep future, but ain't nobody got time for that. I sincerely apologize for using a double negative.
