I'd say I'm definitely not PhD on geography, but people mistake my general intelligence for Classical antiquity history for arrogance. That said, I am currently interested in learning some Asian antiquity history, I'm also trying to memorize the Mediterranean philosophers.

It can sound arrogant to a less taught, but again, my two first points still stand, as for your history knowledge, I remember asking you about antique Armenia, and neighbours. All you said were pretty basic stuff, Armenia and Pontus medium power, while Iberia-Albania were small countries to the north that were pretty weak and noone cared for.

Ancient Armenia is not much to say about. It has its unique facts like most countries. It's best summarized as a failed Parthian Empire.

Ruled by Orontids, Artaxiads, interesting relations with Selucids are just things I found on basic look. They have plenty primary sources, too - although Armenian alphabet was made in 405 CE, Armenians before then just wrote in Greek and Aramaic script.

4/20. Would not blaze.

How about rename primary and secondary school. Add a sixth day worldwide and a better education plan.

Education can be compressed by 2 years if done right or alleviate college/university.

Too much free time and integrals are easy. Could be done in high school. It seems like older people had better education.


Greek education, philsophy, math philosophy, physics philosophy, music, gym.astics, war, poetry and many more things. Pretty much classic education that Rabelais wanted in his Gargantua.

It's good to know so many people have thoughts about this topic.

I think my next thread will be pictures of my cat.

Primary and secondary school are fine names. And if you want to have mad thoughts, how about making what you learn at school completely directed by you from start to end, and free schooling everywhere, and destigmatising non-degree holders, to the point where it was like the 1700s (when, if you went to a higher teaching institute, you really wanted to learn, you were fiercely loving this topic); instead of just folk going to university because they have to.

Greek things are good, but come on, over 2000 years ago. They couldn't even get an unitary theode for most of the time. Instead of what you suggest, here is what we should have:

Modern, experimentally proven effective teaching, learn to love to learn, the sciences (the big three: biology, chemistry and physics), computer programming, tae kwan do, contemporary music.

Finally something better then this spam.

It'd be good too, to have middle school/ high school classes on programs like HTML5, C++, etc.

HTML5/CSS3 don't really require much computational thinking, so I hope any web design class stays very design-focused.

Tyrion, if you're interested in learning programming in high school, MIT OpenCourseWare has intro CS available. Alternatively, you can always check any CMU CS course (try fast-paced intro CS: https://cs.cmu.edu/~112) and go to Schedule where they link to all course content except for solutions. I'd recommend heading to an earlier iteration of the course since the newest one is just two lectures in.

I am not personally interested in learning computing programming out this time, due to me knowing many people who have gone into programming, despite making plenty of money, all of them are depressed/ have bad/unhealthy personal lives.

Then maybe you'd be interested in learning statistics and about proper sampling. :)

actually, i was at one point researching that... but i get bored.

things bore me pretty easily.

the only things that never bore me are GOT, Politics, sex, psychology, and depressed emo chicks. (the last one probably being the most surprising)

Then maybe you'd be interested in learning statistics and about proper sampling, then eventually falsify your data if you don't properly sample, and lead into a depression, that later will kill yourself because you have never gotten a proper sample. :)

As I hear, proper sampling is hard to come by for a result on a relevant population.

truth xpapy of Kazakhstan.

If you're an extrovert, programming is not ideal for you. I like doing computer programming work because I love being able to work alone. Sometimes it's not my favorite and I wind up on projects that I don't like, but the same is going to happen on any job.

Psychology and politics never bore me either, but I don't want a career in either of them. That said, there are a few specific psychology things I'm curious about that aren't likely to get funded (no practical reason to fund them, aside from curiosity), and it would be fun to spend a year doing those kinds of "satisfy my curiosity" studies.

I am highly introverted (I rarely talk to people at all in real life) but I'm looking into becoming a psychologist. My Mom actually has a BA degree in Psychology.
