So what are you trying to say? That no one learns anything in university? Maybe you're just an outlier, has that thought crossed your mind? You're taking personal experience as generalizing from it. Very fallacious. Like they say, data, not anecdata.
- 0xffff2 9y agoNot at all. I'm certainly an outlier. You may notice that the person I replied to is also sharing their personal experience. All I'm trying to say is that that person's experience is not the only outcome of going to college. In fact, I would say that they are an outlier in the other direction.
- robotresearcher 9y agoI responded to your original blanket dismissal of college as a place for learning, that you have since edited, but is quoted in my response.
- fwdpropaganda 9y agoYeah, I saw that too. So right away you can see this person is dishonest. Instead of saying "oops I might have over-generalized my personal experience, let me re-think my original opinion" he goes "nah, I never had that opinion."
- 0xffff2 9y agoWait what? I don't recall editing my original comment in any way that would have changed its meaning, and the part you quoted is still there...
