Future leaders

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

1. Why are groups always dumber than the individual?
2. Why are diverse groups dumber still?
3. Why do universities and corporations demand that we think that diverse groups (teams) are better than individuals at creating ideas and solutions? *

Does anyone actually believe that the things discovered or created by fleming, farnsworth, tesla, lavoisier, Newton, Einstein, Mozart, Rembrandt, or DaVinci would have happened if they were forced to work in government approved, minority owned, diverse teams?

Because the Federal Student Loans are still coming into WWU for them.

Well, it certainly can't be because someone has considered what the ramifications would be if they were allowed to leave the campus.

It's about high time we brought back the notion of te "professional student" - but this time it needs to be mandatory that everybody change their major as soon as the get to the ABD point.

I have not run the numbers yet but my instinct tells me it would be less expensive overall to keep them in student loans for the rest of their life than o turn them out into the world.

stay safe.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,

1. Why are groups always dumber than the individual?
2. Why are diverse groups dumber still?

Answer to both:

Because additional members of a group provide more paths for the stupidity to flow.  Thus, the total intelligence of the group cannot be greater than the intelligence of the stupidest member.

It's just like the electrical law of resistors in parallel.  In fact, the same equations apply.  Adding another resistor in parallel results in a decrease in total resistance because each added resistor provides another path for the electric current to flow.

Engineers are familiar with this equation, where R is any value of resistance:

1/R(Total) = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + 1/R4.....

Substitute "Intelligence" for Resistance, and there you have it.

That is my thoughts as well. Surely this lot broke at least some of the Student Code of Conduct... I know there is more to that than cheating, it was a rather large booklet for my little community collage (that I never read, but still), so for a four year school, there has to be something.

This. 

If there isn't an assholery clause,  they ought to be.

If you go to a sheepdog trial the participating shepherds will tell you that it is near impossible for a single dog to get one or two sheep to do what is requested of the dog. 3 is a pretty magic number, the sheep at that point are pretty sheepish.

This is the very school where Sumpnz is going for his MBA.  Perhaps he can help them write the business case for the College of Power and Liberation.

That's why the most successful sheep ranchers use a hypnotoad.

Sorry.  First time I've read the OP article, and watched the video.  A few observations...

The chick classifying everything a being "violent" ...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2y8Sx4B2Sk

Go to the library.  Find footage of the Civil Rights movement.  Look at what happened to those people.  That is violence.  Better still, put on a uniform, pick up a rifle, and go see what violence is.  I'll wait.
