My studies are making me suicidal

Vegan thoughts of the day:
Today i wanted to explore the theme of factory farmed education. Our education system is based on dehumanizing agents and treating them as products. The focus is not on the well being of the student but on the tangible results and efficiency. This draws a parallel with factory farming where sentient animals are treated as disposable products of consumption not as unique individuals. The problem with our education is that it is not tailored to each individual to achieve a state of well being, wisdom and happiness but is tailored towards mass education of the populus. How many innocent humans have lost their minds, been traumatized and subjugated to the stress of the threat of death in case of academic failure?
The education system treats students the same way factory farms treat animals, cows, pigs, chicken, sheep, goats...

French Montana, coincidentally a mainstream Arab rapper, said it's harder to be a successful rapper than to be a professional NBA (basketball) player. He listed examples of successful rappers in the past decade and compared that to a 15 man roster in the NBA for 30 teams, where each year you have people reaching retirement and rookies coming in. He concluded there's more people making it to the league than there are successful rap careers. And I think I agree with that. Not saying you can't do it, but it is incredibly rare. These are the odds you're facing.

It's more about talent than odds.

If you can make catchy songs they will sell. But that requires serious talent and taste.

Spot on. I stand corrected.
