+ <div class="entry-content"> +<p class="aside"> +A while back I had to do a bunch of journals on the book <span class="u">In Cold Blood</span>.<br /> +I have decided to post several of these journals, they are very incoherent.<br /> +Each journal had a passage associated with it, which have not been reproduced here. +</p> +<h4>#3, Page 20 – The Last to See Them Alive</h4> +<p>Perhaps this is a bit of a tangent, but this passage makes me wonder “What makes someone become a life insurance agent?” It must be the most depressing job ever, next to working in a cemetery/crematorium/funeral home. Even if one can claim ignorance of that fact when entering the field, what makes someone want do do that? Are there high-school students who want to sell insurance when they grow up?</p> +<h4>#7, Page 65 – Persons Unknown</h4> +<p>I tried to read her story, however, she kept using the phrase “hot as Hades,” and I couldn’t take her seriously (does this make me an awful person?). I find the phrase “hot as Hades” to be humerus; a hot hell is a distinctly Christian concept, the Greek Hades was cold, icy. This certainly fits much of the imagery of death, the “cold grip of death,” bodies get cold when they die, and you get the chills when one is scared (exposed to death). It appears that my mind is wandering, I’m going to attribute this to lack of hacking. Relatedly, I should probably finish the book <span class="u">Hackers</span>, (I have to write a review of it, as I got a free “review copy”) I’ll do that as soon as I finish this book.</p> +<h4>#15, Page 147-148 – The Corner</h4> +<p>It’s funny how the events we build up in our heads end up not being fulfilling as we imagine them to be. Whatever this journal was going to be just got derailed by my recollection of a paper I once read. The paper essentially stated that individuals with depression are the sane people, and that we are all the ones with the disorder. It asserted that we have a condition that causes us to over-estimate how future events will affect us, both good events and bad. Individuals with depression actually function properly, but without the unfounded optimism fount in the rest of us, they fail to be motivated or feel good. If this is correct, it means that the world just sucks. It would seem here that Dewey indeed does not have depression, for he is subject to our condition of falsely inflating gratifying events.</p> + + </div><!-- .entry-content --> + <div class="entry-links"> + + </div> + + <div class="entry-utility"> + This entry was posted in <a href="http://lukeshu.ath.cx/1/wordpress/category/school-2/essays/" title="View all posts in Essays" rel="category tag">Essays</a>, <a href="http://lukeshu.ath.cx/1/wordpress/category/school-2/" title="View all posts in School" rel="category tag">School</a> and tagged <a href="http://lukeshu.ath.cx/1/wordpress/tag/ramble/" rel="tag">ramble</a>.

+ <div class="entry-content"> +<p class="aside"> +A while back I had to do a bunch of journals on the book <span class="u">In Cold Blood</span>.<br /> +I have decided to post several of these journals, they are very incoherent.<br /> +Each journal had a passage associated with it, which have not been reproduced here. +</p> +<h4>#3, Page 20 – The Last to See Them Alive</h4> +<p>Perhaps this is a bit of a tangent, but this passage makes me wonder “What makes someone become a life insurance agent?” It must be the most depressing job ever, next to working in a cemetery/crematorium/funeral home. Even if one can claim ignorance of that fact when entering the field, what makes someone want do do that? Are there high-school students who want to sell insurance when they grow up?</p> +<h4>#7, Page 65 – Persons Unknown</h4> +<p>I tried to read her story, however, she kept using the phrase “hot as Hades,” and I couldn’t take her seriously (does this make me an awful person?). I find the phrase “hot as Hades” to be humerus; a hot hell is a distinctly Christian concept, the Greek Hades was cold, icy. This certainly fits much of the imagery of death, the “cold grip of death,” bodies get cold when they die, and you get the chills when one is scared (exposed to death). It appears that my mind is wandering, I’m going to attribute this to lack of hacking. Relatedly, I should probably finish the book <span class="u">Hackers</span>, (I have to write a review of it, as I got a free “review copy”) I’ll do that as soon as I finish this book.</p> +<h4>#15, Page 147-148 – The Corner</h4> +<p>It’s funny how the events we build up in our heads end up not being fulfilling as we imagine them to be. Whatever this journal was going to be just got derailed by my recollection of a paper I once read. The paper essentially stated that individuals with depression are the sane people, and that we are all the ones with the disorder. It asserted that we have a condition that causes us to over-estimate how future events will affect us, both good events and bad. Individuals with depression actually function properly, but without the unfounded optimism fount in the rest of us, they fail to be motivated or feel good. If this is correct, it means that the world just sucks. It would seem here that Dewey indeed does not have depression, for he is subject to our condition of falsely inflating gratifying events.</p> + + </div><!-- .entry-content --> + <div class="entry-links"> + + </div> + + <div class="entry-utility"> + This entry was posted in <a href="http://lukeshu.ath.cx/1/wordpress/category/school-2/essays/" title="View all posts in Essays" rel="category tag">Essays</a>, <a href="http://lukeshu.ath.cx/1/wordpress/category/school-2/" title="View all posts in School" rel="category tag">School</a> and tagged <a href="http://lukeshu.ath.cx/1/wordpress/tag/ramble/" rel="tag">ramble</a>.

I’m not entirely convinced that there’s a laptop sitting in front of me now, as I type this. Sure, I see it, I feel it, I hear it, but I cannot be certain that my senses are not fooling me. I cannot be certain that I am not a brain in a jar, a computer simulation, a mad man in a asylum, an unknown species dreaming that I am man. If my perception of the universe is correct, this philosophy is called “fallibilism.”</p> +<p>If memory serves, I have subscribed to fallibilism for quite some time, though I didn’t know the term for most of it. For an even larger portion of that time, I held the belief that I could know axiomatic information; I could properly reason through, and assure myself that 2+2=4. Quite surprisingly, I became dissuaded from this not by the book 1984 (which spent a good deal of time on “2+2=5”), but from spending a week high out of my mind on pain pills. I’m not sure if it was the penicillin, the ibuprofen, the Demerol, or the meso-whatever, but during this time, I became convinced of the fallibility of my own mind, to a degree that I hadn’t been able to imagine before. Before, I accepted that my logic was fallible, that I made mistakes, but that I knew when I had some level of competence. I became fairly convinced that one can never rely on one’s self having some level of competence. Formerly I had been able to make the judgment that because I am thinking, I am; I am no longer convinced that I am not making a logical fallacy.</p> +<p>The most fundamental thing I believe is: it matters because I want it to matter. This is not something that I can prove, or something that I can reason through or back up. It’s something that I feel in my gut and accept. It’s something we all must do. We all must decide what matters to us and make the most of it. Whether or not reality is subjective, our perception of it is, so it is impossible to identify universal truths. Whether something “truly” matters or not (something we can’t properly judge), I have found that it is nice to choose what you want to matter, and pursue it. Make the most of it. We must, because, honestly, what else are you going to do, try to have an awful time?</p> +<p>In our pursuit of these things that only matter to us, we often try to convince others that it does matter. It is my belief that, whether we are aware of it or not, this is an attempt to get closer to other people. We are trying to alter other’s realities (or perceptions of it) to coincide with our own. For many it is an attempt to “aid” people, and show them the “truth”, and make their perception of reality coincide with what the convincer perceives to be the “true reality.” In doing so, we often become enamored of trying to justify why these things matter to us and ought to matter to others.</p> +<p>This is sometimes very difficult task, as it is hard to justify that hitting a ball, or whatever, is existentially rewarding. We all work differently, some of us are rewarded by hitting that home run, some aren’t. Since we all have different things that make us tick, each person must figure out “What matters to me?” in order to make the most of themselves. We can’t simply take the values of others, the freedom to decide what matters to us appears to me to be a fundamental freedom; our founding fathers recognized it as the pursuit of happiness. To find that happiness, one must recognize what rewards himself, what matters to himself. If we don’t, we’re just adrift.</p> +<p>Perhaps I’m all wrong, what do I know? I don’t know anything.</p> + + </div><!-- .entry-content --> + <div class="entry-links"> + + </div> + + <div class="entry-utility"> + This entry was posted in <a href="http://lukeshu.ath.cx/1/wordpress/category/school-2/essays/" title="View all posts in Essays" rel="category tag">Essays</a>, <a href="http://lukeshu.ath.cx/1/wordpress/category/school-2/" title="View all posts in School" rel="category tag">School</a> and tagged <a href="http://lukeshu.ath.cx/1/wordpress/tag/fallibilism/" rel="tag">fallibilism</a>, <a href="http://lukeshu.ath.cx/1/wordpress/tag/school/" rel="tag">school</a>.

I’m not entirely convinced that there’s a laptop sitting in front of me now, as I type this. Sure, I see it, I feel it, I hear it, but I cannot be certain that my senses are not fooling me. I cannot be certain that I am not a brain in a jar, a computer simulation, a mad man in a asylum, an unknown species dreaming that I am man. If my perception of the universe is correct, this philosophy is called “fallibilism.”</p> +<p>If memory serves, I have subscribed to fallibilism for quite some time, though I didn’t know the term for most of it. For an even larger portion of that time, I held the belief that I could know axiomatic information; I could properly reason through, and assure myself that 2+2=4. Quite surprisingly, I became dissuaded from this not by the book 1984 (which spent a good deal of time on “2+2=5”), but from spending a week high out of my mind on pain pills. I’m not sure if it was the penicillin, the ibuprofen, the Demerol, or the meso-whatever, but during this time, I became convinced of the fallibility of my own mind, to a degree that I hadn’t been able to imagine before. Before, I accepted that my logic was fallible, that I made mistakes, but that I knew when I had some level of competence. I became fairly convinced that one can never rely on one’s self having some level of competence. Formerly I had been able to make the judgment that because I am thinking, I am; I am no longer convinced that I am not making a logical fallacy.</p> +<p>The most fundamental thing I believe is: it matters because I want it to matter. This is not something that I can prove, or something that I can reason through or back up. It’s something that I feel in my gut and accept. It’s something we all must do. We all must decide what matters to us and make the most of it. Whether or not reality is subjective, our perception of it is, so it is impossible to identify universal truths. Whether something “truly” matters or not (something we can’t properly judge), I have found that it is nice to choose what you want to matter, and pursue it. Make the most of it. We must, because, honestly, what else are you going to do, try to have an awful time?</p> +<p>In our pursuit of these things that only matter to us, we often try to convince others that it does matter. It is my belief that, whether we are aware of it or not, this is an attempt to get closer to other people. We are trying to alter other’s realities (or perceptions of it) to coincide with our own. For many it is an attempt to “aid” people, and show them the “truth”, and make their perception of reality coincide with what the convincer perceives to be the “true reality.” In doing so, we often become enamored of trying to justify why these things matter to us and ought to matter to others.</p> +<p>This is sometimes very difficult task, as it is hard to justify that hitting a ball, or whatever, is existentially rewarding. We all work differently, some of us are rewarded by hitting that home run, some aren’t. Since we all have different things that make us tick, each person must figure out “What matters to me?” in order to make the most of themselves. We can’t simply take the values of others, the freedom to decide what matters to us appears to me to be a fundamental freedom; our founding fathers recognized it as the pursuit of happiness. To find that happiness, one must recognize what rewards himself, what matters to himself. If we don’t, we’re just adrift.</p> +<p>Perhaps I’m all wrong, what do I know? I don’t know anything.</p> + + </div><!-- .entry-content --> + <div class="entry-links"> + + </div> + + <div class="entry-utility"> + This entry was posted in <a href="http://lukeshu.ath.cx/1/wordpress/category/school-2/essays/" title="View all posts in Essays" rel="category tag">Essays</a>, <a href="http://lukeshu.ath.cx/1/wordpress/category/school-2/" title="View all posts in School" rel="category tag">School</a> and tagged <a href="http://lukeshu.ath.cx/1/wordpress/tag/fallibilism/" rel="tag">fallibilism</a>, <a href="http://lukeshu.ath.cx/1/wordpress/tag/school/" rel="tag">school</a>.

+ <div class="entry-content"> +<p class="aside">If you have been personally touched by suicide, please don’t be offended, I do not entirely agree with the sentiment of this essay. The prompt here was “Write about suicide as an act of desperation.”. We had just listened to a lecture about how most student’s essays end up being the same for the same prompt; any unique or different essay will score better. Additionally, you can’t lead me that much in the prompt. Sure I agree that suicide is a bad thing, but we can’t treat that as a given.<br/>~ Luke Shumaker</p> +<p>You are not a beautiful, unique snowflake of specialness. You are made of the same decaying, organic matter as everything else. Accept that you are going to die and let go. It is the only way to find freedom. The only way to live life to the fullest is to accept, and embrace, that life does not matter. Suicide can be an act of optimism.</p> +<p>You are going to die. Everyone you have ever loved or cared for is going to die. Everyone you have ever <em>met</em> is going to die. If you’re having trouble wrapping your mind around this, perhaps a religious interpretation may help; God’s ultimate plan for you: to die. Everything you create will fall apart and be forgotten. Nothing you will ever do will matter. Losing all hope; this is nihilism.</p> +<p>To commit suicide is therefore to accept our place in the universe, and embrace our fate. To embrace “God’s will” for us, to fulfill our divine mission, surely is a noble act, a positive act of optimism. We don’t have to do anything; we fulfill our mission by being born, living for a while, then dying.</p> +<p>When we accept this, accept our mortality, and the futility of life, a massive burden is lifted. When we accept that our mission in life is to die, we no longer must worry about fulfilling it; we will. We no longer have an obligation to be significant, to make a difference. We become free. Losing all hope, and finding freedom; this is existentialism.</p> +<p>Plato wrote that Socrates had taught of “reluctant leadership.” That the “enlightened” must return from their “enhanced world,” to lead those who had not attained enlightenment; they were obligated to, though they would not want to. He believed that philosophers should govern society. Perhaps you remember Plato’s allegory of the Cave? In it, the individual who found his way outside of the cave, and saw the true world had to return to the cave to watch over those who did not realize that there was a world beyond the cave. I can’t be the only one who found this horribly depressing.

+ <div class="entry-content"> +<p class="aside">If you have been personally touched by suicide, please don’t be offended, I do not entirely agree with the sentiment of this essay. The prompt here was “Write about suicide as an act of desperation.”. We had just listened to a lecture about how most student’s essays end up being the same for the same prompt; any unique or different essay will score better. Additionally, you can’t lead me that much in the prompt. Sure I agree that suicide is a bad thing, but we can’t treat that as a given.<br/>~ Luke Shumaker</p> +<p>You are not a beautiful, unique snowflake of specialness. You are made of the same decaying, organic matter as everything else. Accept that you are going to die and let go. It is the only way to find freedom. The only way to live life to the fullest is to accept, and embrace, that life does not matter. Suicide can be an act of optimism.</p> +<p>You are going to die. Everyone you have ever loved or cared for is going to die. Everyone you have ever <em>met</em> is going to die. If you’re having trouble wrapping your mind around this, perhaps a religious interpretation may help; God’s ultimate plan for you: to die. Everything you create will fall apart and be forgotten. Nothing you will ever do will matter. Losing all hope; this is nihilism.</p> +<p>To commit suicide is therefore to accept our place in the universe, and embrace our fate. To embrace “God’s will” for us, to fulfill our divine mission, surely is a noble act, a positive act of optimism. We don’t have to do anything; we fulfill our mission by being born, living for a while, then dying.</p> +<p>When we accept this, accept our mortality, and the futility of life, a massive burden is lifted. When we accept that our mission in life is to die, we no longer must worry about fulfilling it; we will. We no longer have an obligation to be significant, to make a difference. We become free. Losing all hope, and finding freedom; this is existentialism.</p> +<p>Plato wrote that Socrates had taught of “reluctant leadership.” That the “enlightened” must return from their “enhanced world,” to lead those who had not attained enlightenment; they were obligated to, though they would not want to. He believed that philosophers should govern society. Perhaps you remember Plato’s allegory of the Cave? In it, the individual who found his way outside of the cave, and saw the true world had to return to the cave to watch over those who did not realize that there was a world beyond the cave. I can’t be the only one who found this horribly depressing. You attain enlightenment, and are rewarded by being forced to return and govern idiots who think you a fool for believing in a world beyond the cave. I don’t want to hack an awesome piece of software, then spend my days running its mailing list.</p> +<p>To find freedom, we must give up all that matters to us; for it does not matter. We must come to what are possibly the most painful realizations a person can have. We must give up the life we know, the life that matters. We must accept that we are going to die, and stop caring. Then we can enjoy what we have, the way we want to. The phrase “live and let live” is a good start, but how about “live and let be?” Why must the other person in the phrase live? The phrase embodies allowing others to make their own choices, regardless of what you think, so shouldn’t they get the choice to not live a life? In order for us to find our freedom, and them to find their freedom, we must accept that life does not matter. We don’t all have to kill ourselves, but accept that life does not matter.</p> + + </div><!-- .entry-content --> + <div class="entry-links"> + + </div> + + <div class="entry-utility"> + This entry was posted in <a href="http://lukeshu.ath.cx/1/wordpress/category/school-2/essays/" title="View all posts in Essays" rel="category tag">Essays</a>, <a href="http://lukeshu.ath.cx/1/wordpress/category/school-2/" title="View all posts in School" rel="category tag">School</a>.

+ <div class="entry-content"> +<p>I am the nerd, the geek, the hacker. In most aspects, I am the stereotypical nerd. I wear glasses, a belt, a button down shirt, and a pocket protector. I play Dungeons and Dragons. I’m smart and have a passion for computers. I keep mostly to myself. However, in contrast to the stereotypical nerd, people like me. While I would expect myself to have some friends, the acceptance I have among my peers is something that continually surprises me. This is not something that has always been true, but has been for most of high school. The most logical reasons for this seems to be the emotional maturity of high-schoolers, combined with the publics’ increasing acceptance of nerds. Still, it feels like I’m doing something wrong as a nerd, and that I’ve betrayed my people.</p> +<p>The quality of my relationships with other people seem to vary inversely with quantity. For much of my life I have had a small inner circle of friends that I was very close to. As I branched out, the I have drifted from the friends I was once extremely close to. That is not to say that I am not still close to them, but that we are not as close as we once were. Since I mostly keep to myself, most of my friendships seem to form by others seeking to be friends with me. For this reason it is not infrequent that I am not sure whether I am currently friends with someone who I once was.</p> +<p><br/></p> +<p>I am mildly insane. Somehow that became my concession. In Poe’s Tell-Tale Heart the character desperately insists that he is sane. I gave up on that plea long ago, now it’s, “don’t worry guys, I’m only slightly insane.” It’s okay though, I’m sane enough to function, but insane enough that it’s interesting. To delve into precisely in which way I am insane is neither something that would fit in this document, nor something I am entirely comfortable sharing.</p> +<p><br/></p> +<p>I am a hacker. I think. I used to tell people that I was aligned with the hacker ethic, and followed the practices of hackers, but that I felt the term denoted s level of proficiency that I had not reached. I’m not sure I’ve progressed significantly since then, but I now feel comfortable telling people that I am a hacker.</p> +<p>I should probably clarify what “hacker” means. A hacker is someone who enjoys hacking, and subscribes to the hacker ethic. Now I must define “hack,” which is an incredibly hard word to define. To quote hacker Phil Agre, “The word hack doesn’t really have 69 different meanings. In fact, hack has only one meaning, an extremely subtle and profound one which defies articulation. Which connotation is implied by a given use of the word depends in similarly profound ways on the context.” I would say that most accurately, but least helpfully, hacking means “creative problem solving.” Hacker esr characterizes hacking as “an appropriate application of ingenuity.” Some hackers do apply this to breaking computer security, many, many more do not. I should also note that when hackers do break security, it is not with malicious intent, to do that would be a violation of the hacker ethic. Hacking normally applies to computer programming, but it can be applied to anything.</p> +<p>When I inform some people that hacking does not mean security breaking, as the mainstream media has them think, they act like I am nitpicking at a definition, or being stubborn. Let me assure you that when I hear hacker used in such a way, I am confused for a moment before I realize that many people use the term to mean security breaker.</p> +<p><br/></p> +<p>I am lazy, but smart. Perhaps I am using a slightly different meaning of “lazy” than is normal, it is not that I avoid work, but tend to do other work instead, or avoid unnecessary work. It is commonly said that laziness is a sign of a good programmer; he will put thought into the design of his code to avoid more work later. When I don’t do a school assignment, it isn’t because I idly wasted my time; I was probably up until the wee hours of the morn working, but on hacking instead of another exercise that I don’t perceive to benefit me (other than the grade). Perhaps rather than lazy, this could be described as having bad priorities. This is probably true, and the reason I haven’t changed is that I still get away with it. I’ve gotten reasonable grades in classes by getting a “0” on homework, then setting the curve on the test. This isn’t the usual situation, though, I can usually get the work completed in a few minutes before class.</p> +<p>This brings me to my attitudes towards school. I enjoy learning, but I don’t care about grades. I know that they will help me out later; I know I’ll wish I did care when I’m applying to colleges; but they don’t matter to me. I come to school to learn, not to play some game with grades. Once I learn a topic I am not likely to spend more time on it doing 150 more practice problems, when I could be hacking, teaching myself, reading, researching, or teaching someone else.</p> +<p><br/></p> +<p>I’m informed that many of these attributes are not atypical of people of my intelligence and passion for learning. However, I do not believe I have met anyone (in my age group, at least) that remotely fit this description.</p> + + </div><!-- .entry-content --> + <div class="entry-links"> + + </div> + + <div class="entry-utility"> + This entry was posted in <a href="http://lukeshu.ath.cx/1/wordpress/category/school-2/essays/" title="View all posts in Essays" rel="category tag">Essays</a>, <a href="http://lukeshu.ath.cx/1/wordpress/category/school-2/" title="View all posts in School" rel="category tag">School</a>.

+ <div class="entry-content"> +<p>I am the nerd, the geek, the hacker. In most aspects, I am the stereotypical nerd. I wear glasses, a belt, a button down shirt, and a pocket protector. I play Dungeons and Dragons. I’m smart and have a passion for computers. I keep mostly to myself. However, in contrast to the stereotypical nerd, people like me. While I would expect myself to have some friends, the acceptance I have among my peers is something that continually surprises me. This is not something that has always been true, but has been for most of high school. The most logical reasons for this seems to be the emotional maturity of high-schoolers, combined with the publics’ increasing acceptance of nerds. Still, it feels like I’m doing something wrong as a nerd, and that I’ve betrayed my people.</p> +<p>The quality of my relationships with other people seem to vary inversely with quantity. For much of my life I have had a small inner circle of friends that I was very close to. As I branched out, the I have drifted from the friends I was once extremely close to. That is not to say that I am not still close to them, but that we are not as close as we once were. Since I mostly keep to myself, most of my friendships seem to form by others seeking to be friends with me. For this reason it is not infrequent that I am not sure whether I am currently friends with someone who I once was.</p> +<p><br/></p> +<p>I am mildly insane. Somehow that became my concession. In Poe’s Tell-Tale Heart the character desperately insists that he is sane. I gave up on that plea long ago, now it’s, “don’t worry guys, I’m only slightly insane.” It’s okay though, I’m sane enough to function, but insane enough that it’s interesting. To delve into precisely in which way I am insane is neither something that would fit in this document, nor something I am entirely comfortable sharing.</p> +<p><br/></p> +<p>I am a hacker. I think. I used to tell people that I was aligned with the hacker ethic, and followed the practices of hackers, but that I felt the term denoted s level of proficiency that I had not reached. I’m not sure I’ve progressed significantly since then, but I now feel comfortable telling people that I am a hacker.</p> +<p>I should probably clarify what “hacker” means. A hacker is someone who enjoys hacking, and subscribes to the hacker ethic. Now I must define “hack,” which is an incredibly hard word to define. To quote hacker Phil Agre, “The word hack doesn’t really have 69 different meanings. In fact, hack has only one meaning, an extremely subtle and profound one which defies articulation. Which connotation is implied by a given use of the word depends in similarly profound ways on the context.” I would say that most accurately, but least helpfully, hacking means “creative problem solving.” Hacker esr characterizes hacking as “an appropriate application of ingenuity.” Some hackers do apply this to breaking computer security, many, many more do not. I should also note that when hackers do break security, it is not with malicious intent, to do that would be a violation of the hacker ethic. Hacking normally applies to computer programming, but it can be applied to anything.</p> +<p>When I inform some people that hacking does not mean security breaking, as the mainstream media has them think, they act like I am nitpicking at a definition, or being stubborn. Let me assure you that when I hear hacker used in such a way, I am confused for a moment before I realize that many people use the term to mean security breaker.</p> +<p><br/></p> +<p>I am lazy, but smart. Perhaps I am using a slightly different meaning of “lazy” than is normal, it is not that I avoid work, but tend to do other work instead, or avoid unnecessary work. It is commonly said that laziness is a sign of a good programmer; he will put thought into the design of his code to avoid more work later. When I don’t do a school assignment, it isn’t because I idly wasted my time; I was probably up until the wee hours of the morn working, but on hacking instead of another exercise that I don’t perceive to benefit me (other than the grade). Perhaps rather than lazy, this could be described as having bad priorities. This is probably true, and the reason I haven’t changed is that I still get away with it. I’ve gotten reasonable grades in classes by getting a “0” on homework, then setting the curve on the test. This isn’t the usual situation, though, I can usually get the work completed in a few minutes before class.</p> +<p>This brings me to my attitudes towards school. I enjoy learning, but I don’t care about grades. I know that they will help me out later; I know I’ll wish I did care when I’m applying to colleges; but they don’t matter to me. I come to school to learn, not to play some game with grades. Once I learn a topic I am not likely to spend more time on it doing 150 more practice problems, when I could be hacking, teaching myself, reading, researching, or teaching someone else.</p> +<p><br/></p> +<p>I’m informed that many of these attributes are not atypical of people of my intelligence and passion for learning. However, I do not believe I have met anyone (in my age group, at least) that remotely fit this description.</p> + + </div><!-- .entry-content --> + <div class="entry-links"> + + </div> + + <div class="entry-utility"> + This entry was posted in <a href="http://lukeshu.ath.cx/1/wordpress/category/school-2/essays/" title="View all posts in Essays" rel="category tag">Essays</a>, <a href="http://lukeshu.ath.cx/1/wordpress/category/school-2/" title="View all posts in School" rel="category tag">School</a>.
