It may not be _genius_, but I don't think it's stupid, and especially not because it's an artistic rather than practical guide.
- ry_ry 8y agoI dunno, if feels like an invitation to attach contextual meaning to a selection of random phrases. You could present this as a list of things ${profession} should know, and somebody somewhere would find it a refreshing thought experiment. I would question if those mental gymnastics reflect on the source, or on the individual who created the meaning? Without context its just a list of stuff with indeterminate intent - any artistry is the result of the reader willing it into existence.

- ry_ry 8y agoOutside of my area of expertise, so honestly I've got very little to contribute beyond a glib shitpost and some elaboration. I'm fully prepared to admit my ignorance here, but in the case of a masters surely the value comes from demonstrating your thought process is sound through review? Without those checks and measures is it not just mental masturbation?
