A quotation from Johnson, Lyndon
If we turn away from knowledge and truth, we will not succeed. If we believe the worst and suspect the best, we alone will suffer. If we deny our progress, if we are against all of it, if we tear down our accomplishments, we will fill the world with sorrow, and we will blemish our own name with shame.
But if we are courageous and farsighted and farseeing, if we have no fear of the truth, if we seek only after light, then we and our children and our children’s children shall know the greatness of this wonderful, beautiful land we call America.
Lyndon B. Johnson (1908-1973) American politician, educator, US President (1963-69)
Speech (1964-09-28), Convocation, Brown University

#RishiSunak to force English #universities to cap numbers of students on ‘low-value’ degrees | #Students | The Guardian
A #university #education is meant to be to promote scholarship and learning. It is not supposed to be merely a treadmill to employment.
Ethnographic, statistical analysis of #USA population extrapolated to university campus ethnographic composition if 75% of all Individuals with an #IQ ≥ 100 from each people-proup attended university, plus suggested education planning.
There is no shame in not attending #university. There is no #shame in working a trade or a regular job. Having a degree doesn't grant anybody inherent superiority over anybody else or bestow upon anybody a better mind than anybody else.

Revealed: richer #graduates in #England will pay less for degree than poorer #students | #Students | The Guardian
The #Tories are even more brazen now in looking after their own. So much for "levelling up".
Third time is the charm. Not really #newhere, but after #joindiaspora and #Anjara pods closed, I was invited to Diasp.org by @V. T. Eric Layton. Thanks for the invite!
Looking forward to settling down here.

I have lately been getting into #psychiatry and #criminology has always been an intellectual interest for me. I am of course a user of #Linux but I am not that tech-savy. I do know #R because I teach #statistics . I am also interested in #SASS if you know what that means. I am probably forgetting stuff, but that is enough for now :)
