I wish that was my career. I have given talks on the Civil War but I ain't VDH.

I wish that was my career. I have given talks on the Civil War but I ain't VDH.

Take a look at Kenneth May Photography. A former employee who does a lot of Civil War site photography and reenactment photography, in addition to some sports photography. I think you’ll see some things you’ll like.

American classicist. military historian. And farmer. Yeah that’s pretty cool. I’d like that in a bar in response to “what do you do.”

Oh my goodness I’m sorry to hear of your breakup. What did your boyfriend do?
Managed an enterprise car rental store.
Ah. Great.
What do you do?
Me? Oh. Ha. A few things actually. It’s a little odd. I’m an American classicist. Military historian. And a farmer hahaha. Yes two more dirty martinis. Yes. Tab.

I really think this kind of stuff is exciting for the future of education. Once people reach a certain age and can handle it, I think this is a game changer for many subjects.

Now for some, it obviously can't be the only tool. Philosophy is a subject that needs back and forth testing of the arguments, discussion with peers or profs, etc. But this could be a much superior way to introduce material, refine it, and provide unlimited access.

Ultimately, I see college--and maybe some highschool--structured so that you essentially watch the lectures and read material outside of class and then use class time to talk about them, test them, and dive deeper into stuff. Many philosophy classes I had were structured like this, but this would have made them even better.

It is a learn on your own, so the class is just recorded lectures. I just signed up for it. There are 7 sections with 7 quizzes and a final. If I knew how this worked, I would see what grade I get on the quizzes without watching the videos. I'd hate to do it, fail a quiz (I doubt that happens) and get booted.

Those clowns get an area and make more than most lawyers. Sad. Climb climb climb and end up loaded by 40. I have a buddy who retired from there at 54. They’re all just dumb car guys too. A Bach from anywhere. That’s all ya need. But they work hard

@Marvin the Martian and @DANC uh oh. A private conservative Christian liberal arts college WITH A 24% ACCEPTANCE RATE!!! IU is probably 80 something percent.

I've heard you need to take a class on the Constitution, too.

That's a real no-go right there.

They do have a free online class on the Constitution. I may take it just to see how much time they devoted to the 14th before it became a cool topic.

oh trump is bad
oh jan 6. we mustn't forget
oh trump is a threat to democracy. absurd. most of the law school grads here don't even believe that nonsense. half the country thinks biden is an equal threat to democracy.

let's hear what biden is going to do to bring down the cost of, well, everything. what he's going to do prevent a woke relapse and the attendant consequences of same. on and on and on.

Many philosophy classes I had were structured like this, but this would have made them even better.

That's basically how A201 and 202 were back in the last half of the 80s. You went to class, and they turned on a video, then had some actual human interaction after that. Worked just fine for accounting where everyone was basically adverse to talking to other people anyway.

elon musk always says same. there's some law school where you do that third year. work at a firm and do everything largely outside of class. northeastern maybe. i can't remember
