    Minivans/MPVs are so much better family cars in practice it isn’t even funny.

    They are comfier. Less ground clearance drives better and is more economical. They are actually effective at occasional cargo hauling. And so on. Luckily they seem on the uptick, SUVs are a devolution in practical aspects.



  • Perhaps, though schooling is often struggles to promote solutions that are not efficiency first. In fact as far as I’ve experienced colleges and universities often benchmark the courseload so most will resort to shortcuts that save time and reduce learning.

    Of course there are always those who take the path of least resistance, but outside actual prodigies schooling is designed for priorization for those with higher aspirations too.

    Not a valueless skill of course, but I’ve often wondered if the courses tight scheduling squeezes in manage to compensate for shoddier fundamentals of the trade and more knowing things to be tested.











  • In reality the vast majority of the workload may be formatting and word choice that is quite far from thinking.

    And then you’re getting a bachelor’s degree and because you’re big dumb dumb who doesn’t really know anything, your task is to collate and paraphrase something not dumb people thought, maybe applying it to some case you have, but not thinking independently.

    A masters thesis can have just a little bit of thinking as a, treat, but most leave school before they reach levels where one thinks when writing.


  • Ah so, it’s not only Finland where the point of Physical Education is to humiliate all the joy of athletics out of the vast majority of generations of people.

    Except the up and coming hockey players the washed up sportsman/woman who was hired to teach as a sort of social program gives all their attention to. Guess those have different sports abroad.

    But really it seems so efficient that the state makes schools focus on competition, subsidize competitive team sports heavily, and hire subsidized people from professional sports to further the subsidized hobbies of the maybe future professionals.

    The end result is billions in subsidies and that most people who can’t hack it professionally just quit sports alltogether in their teens or even earlier.

    I just quite can’t see how are they actually trying to go public health first with which the tax expenses are excused.
