Its crazy how I rarely believe any of this s*** and half of it is always a misinterpretation of the facts but knowing how to package it well always sells it. Idek how to write a real essay at this point.

Facts, so many essays I’ve written are just completely out of my ass and I’ve aced because I’ve worded it well

Yeah

also debating

that feeling when you and everyone else in the room knows you're wrong, but you've just used every logical loophole to prove you're technically correct in under 2 minutes

Truly is. I’m sure the effort we put into crafting complex cheating schemes could have been put into studying instead. But being crafty is in and of itself a good skill to have so no complaints in the end.

s***s depressing

it’s always been a post-truth world technically, it’s just the way you dress it up

it's like training you to survive in a world run that's already run by the greatest bullshitters on the planet

the better you are, the better you do.

My Essays were basically me talking out of my ass and repetiting it for 10 thousand words and getting A+'s out of it

Every debate club kid i knew just used their skills to be mean to teachers s*** was corny af and everyone hated them

Addy for sale

they some clowns fr. i'm with you, that s*** is corny as hell. thankfully wasn't the case for me and the people around me.

Thought this was an air thread

being good at life is just knowing how to lie to people

Some classes I'm actually interested in I put effort. But for the classes that are just program requirements, I really never feel like I'm missing out.

It depends on the topic TBH

If it's something I like writing about and I have knowledge about it, I could write up a good essay, which is basically me spilling out that knowledge with some padding on the side to get the word count filled up.

Padding essays with works cited

But doing it the way they taught you, so you get full credit

By the end of it I'm almost believing the bullshit I'm spewing

Says a lot about this education system

Bullshittin is big imagination and really wielding the power of the pen

Plus i was a liar as kid

Every mfer that ever heard me speak be like yous a bullshitter/smooth talker

I see it as pos and neg trait
Specially since alot of times im not even aware of myself doin it

being in the debate world is crazy valuable in the long run

because so many people don't understand the difference between a convincing argument and what's actually true/right. The concept that u could lose an argument and still be right (and vice versa) is completely foreign to a large part of the public...

I really think this is the conclusion I come to over the past few years s*** sucks but I guess I gotta start lmfao

Nah i disagree

Studying logical fallacies to use them to your advantage doesn’t seem helpful to me if you deep down know that you are wrong but 95% of people don’t see the fallacy and still believe you

Parenthetical citations going HARD

i think u completely missed my point
