we don't have talks anymore.
people people don't come to nz to present their research.
not very much. it's a very very very rare thing, indeed.
and the people here don't present thier research, either.
the Univerity of Waikato has 2 student talks in the semester I was supposed to go and make suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuubstaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaantive chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanges to my thesisssssssssssssssssssssss so my supervisor feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelt that the externallsssssssssssssssssssssss might paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas ittttttttttttttttttttt.
she did not give a talk.
she was tooooooooooooooooooooooooo busyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy haaaaaving meetings with meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee where she could screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeam about how i didn't know what suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuubstaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaantive reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeans.
nobody on a salary presented any research.
did any research.
when it's coming up time for me to do a talk my supervisor doesn't say 'hey do you want to show me a draft? maybe come and give me a practice run-through?' nope. she asks me to work on something different and get that to her, instead.
because it's the opposite of a healthy working environment.
it is designed to shut things down and turn things off only.
so...
shut it down, then.
the studnets will get more work done when they don't have to make appearances in front of the staff the university chose to hire. shut it down then.
but you need to process the applications and get the work to extenrals and process the completions for the degree.
whereh does all the money go???
there is no point studying for NZ examinations. we don't have the capaciaty to write a fair examination. we don't. there isnothing worse than people wtihuot reading comprehension writing a multiple choice and thinking they have written a good question that is a 'high end distinguisher' only because 1/3 of people eliminated all options but two of them at which point it was a coin toss. so 1/6 of people got it right with tha tstrategy. that is not a well designed multiple choice.
then you instrduce an element like 'once you get down to those final two then select the sequuentially later' say the people at x private school. or 'once you get down to those final two then select the option that is alphabetically prior in the answer text' say the people at x private school. and then when teh graders are writing their grading schedule and they don't know whcih of the two is the best answer they think the kids from the best school know better than them so they defer to them...
most of the examinations the lecturers ask teh students things they don't know the answer to.
it's obvious.
they aren't fooling anyone.
it's obvious.
oooooooooooooooooh i want to join yooooooooooooooooooooooooooou grubbity grub grub grub making things worse. oooooooooh wanting to join yooooooooooooou.
the most basic respect has not been offerd to me.
to allow me a way of life.
people STILL they think they know what is beset for me. they will decide the nature of the contribution i am allowed to make.
well then. shut them down.
let them make decisions for htem, of course.
but not for anybody else.
nobody in tehir right mind would voluntarily consent to hand over tehir share of the products of civiliation to them.
to do what with it?
to undo and unevolve and gut and ruin everything that has been developed.
the people with all the grubbity grub grub money.
refuse to install heat pumps and ventillation in kitchen and bathroom for their tenants. refuse to provide accommodation affordabel for people to socially distance in.
when yo uforce peple to overcrowd in yoru unhealthy rentals do you know what happens??
you make them sick.
then do you know what they do with their sickness????
they come after you.
of course they do.
huddle huddle huddle in your houses. that's right.
ther's nobody hom.e
