Be a new high school teacher

I'm about to be a teacher because I've not performed well enough to be an academic and I still want to have some time and energy for intellectual bullshit.

there are lots of ways phil can have a moral impact - but here's an obvious one for you. novel philosophy leads policy in determining the ethical usage of novel technology. by finding the correct theoretical path early, you can prevent ethical mistakes like eugenics, meat-eating, sexual degeneracy, abuse of emulated intelligences, whatever you believe to be wrong. the potential impact of altering a field of political science, or influencing a policymaker's personal beliefs, is much higher than the average doctor

>female teachers
Jesus Christ how fucked we are

>Wasting my tax dollars to molest the minds of children and likely their bodies.

I cannot support this.

they're all pedos
fuck off pedo

Case in point.
Thanks outing yourself as a brainlet and for proving philosophy isn't for the masses.

But why not debate club? Kids today are eager to learn Fact and Logic to debunk feminism.

>Now let’s look at things on a population level. Multiplying up by the 62.6 million population of the UK means medicine adds 438.4 million years of healthy life
>We know there are around 2.7 doctors per 1 000 population in the UK, making around 172 000 total. So the ‘share’ per doctor is:
>438 487 000 / 171 824 = 2552 QALYs

not that impressive desu. influencing any policy area in a long-term manner will net you more impact. granted you need to be exceptional to be influential, and an influential doctor might develop novel medical techniques that take them higher. i suppose if that's what you mean, i agree

>the midwit resorts to empirical appeals

daily reminder that Socrates was a CIA nigger

what's your patrician perspective then?

Right, because if you didn't take that medical degree, nobody else would and nobody else would take the well remunerated position in the UK. It's not the case that the number of operating, fully trained and actually paid doctors in the world is fully elastic.

It's only a qualitative improvement in the world if your performance and endurance in the role is better than your hypothetical rival. Which become an unmeasurable statistic. I guess you can argue that by increasing competition you're indirectly upping the standards of entry for the profession. But by that logic you might equally well improve the world by trying to become a doctor and failing.

Have you looked outside recently? Read a newspaper?

>Yaaaaaaaaay progressive stemfaggery
You should both KYSs.

i don't disagree with this? replacability is a very good argument against medical work, unless you have some comparative advantage that might lead to innovations, or do something unusual like working for doctors without borders who are talent-constrained not funding-constrained

i definitely think there is more important undone work in philosophy, particular in terms of developing novel ethical policy, which is why i was arguing with that other user

Did this bibba just put meat-eating next to eugenics. Go fuck a cow.

this post is completely devoid of anything i could learn from or respond to

You're an impossible retard.
Go back.

>whatever you believe to be wrong
though you gesture at the real problem, which is identifying exactly what is wrong so you might work on it

so i'm assuming you're saying that society is already fucked anyway, and i should read a newspaper and find this out. if i believe that, doesn't it make working in philosophy and trying to build better ethics even more important, even if it is more difficult?

the ones who were honest about their corruption were the best teachers.

STEM for bugman. Philosophy for the philospher kings.
Re-read the post, ESL imbecile. IF any of his students entered into philosophy, if they even had mediocre success, they would be pseudo. The last thing the world needs is more pseuds. Philosophy is NOT for everyone, brainlet. I also didn't glorify medicine relative to philosophy either (in some ways I mocked his want to help) so you're either a super brainlet or an ESLer. Regardless, you don't meet the IQ requirements for this board so I'm going to have to ask you to leave.

Take care of the occultist angle. There's a whole psychic security system waiting to jump with this phenomenon.

This.

Teaching is a good job. You get lots of time off and decent pay without much hard work.

This has been true since the dawn of philosophy. Most people don't have a philosophical mind. And many who do approach philosophy only in its relation to other subjects, like politics and theology.

I'm a teacher, ask me anything.

>English degree like a true pleb

Maybe you were just a fucking pussy.

How much of your time is spent teaching versus to keep order in a room of unruly adolescents? How many juuls have you confiscated? Have you ever had a student make false sexual assault allegations against you?

Yet more proof that accelerationists are unbearable, oblivious shitheads.

1. The first few months of the year are where I establish routines and boundaries. If you're a hardass at the outset you'll have few problems for the rest of the year. At the beginning of the year, I'd say it's a 60-40 split, and for the rest of the year it transfers into a 40-60 or 50-50, depending on the day.

2. I don't confiscate anything for any reason. These litigious little shits will ruin my life. Call admin, they deal with it.

3. No, because I deliberately dress frumpily and behave awkardly. The kids like me as the weird, kind teacher, no more.

same, they're mostly women

true

Very. I don't know how it is in your country but here most young boys see barely any male authority figures besides their father until highschool and even then the odds are highly in women's favour.

Any lit on teachers being insufferable cunts?

Heh feminists and sjws am I right fellow 4channers!

Do you guys differentiate between teachers and professors?
Because I'm studying to become a academic / professor in Law and this board's opinion is very important to me
