Are We In The Age Of Unenlightenment? | The Jim Jefferies Show

[@shinchansfunnyvines6900]

You are surely underrated comedian . You are awesome.

[@DreadNovella]

Shinchan Ki Funny Vines He used to be until he sold out to this leftist agenda so he could have a TV show. Fuck sellout Jim Jeffries.

[@niclaz79]

Arguing for his position on topics is not the same as selling out. And if you have seen his previous shows he has been very consistent in his beliefs all the way.

[@DDG2023]

Thanks!

[@mindfulclarity169]

Jefferies is a worthless sellout hypocrite who hates Muslims and damns others who are honest about hating them.

How do republicans expect doctors engineer and lawyers to get their education!? I'm not from the US but wtf america!?

[@sweetsea8180]

Paul They will be using prayers and witch doctors for medical needs, engineering will be too modern for them so that's out, and stoning for lawyers. They seem to be developing their own Taliban. The USA is seriously regressing at a high speed!! I don't think there is hope for them anymore.

[@crimsonblade25]

[@robertrijkers5163]

[@pierrecurie]

They don't want the average peasant to get an education; they want to reserve Harvard for the corporate aristocracy. Only Lord Byron III, Esq and his progeny are deserving of an education.

[@Sulfen]

Lack of education brings in a lot of violence. But after some time the educated end up at the top and then the poorly educated try their best to educate their kids to try and catch up. Poor education causes bubbles and recessions. And rich people love that because they can invest money when things are cheap.

[@foreignwarren7361]

Sulfen poor education causes bubbles and recessions... Lol no... Rich bankers cause those.

[@roflsirofthelawl216]

Perhaps Sulfen is... poorly educated...?

[@emeraldkat2167]

Sulfen Texas is a perfect example of this. The people there have an ingrained hatred for schooling. It is so wide-spread (with the exception of certain areas like Austin that are naturally more liberal). It is really creepy to talk to people there about education. And the worst part is, most of our children's textbooks get picked there.

[@milascave2]

em: Because Texas is such a large state, they have a disproportionate influence over our K-12 textbooks. And because it is also a conservative state, that influence is a bad one.

[@dragonslayer31415900]

The fact that capable people are not able to get affordable higher education or even DECENT education in general in the USA is absolutely painful to see. Especially since the US is still a cultural powerhouse... I live in Belgium and study as an engineer. My parents pay less than 1000 dollars for me to go to the uni (alcohol not included). It's ridiculous if you ask me

[@emilyhealy9696]

The idea of safe spaces is not for people to never get hurt, it's to guarantee safety of people in marginalized groups who get targeted for who they are. At least, that's how I've always viewed it.

[@luliby2309]

You're absolutely right that we are in an age of unenlightenment. People do not value knowledge, experience, skill, ability, or these other positive qualities that help the world. You're dead wrong about education not leading to skills or any of the other positive things you listed. Education words as advertised. It teaches you many things and you gain knowledge and skills through it. The acquisition of knowledge itself is beneficial to people. Even if you learn something you don't think you will use directly, you're learning how to use your brain and you make it stronger. The gaining of knowledge leads to people becoming better and more logical and more able to make good decisions. I've directly benefited from this in my own life. Education and knowledge has made things so much better for me. Of course, I used it correctly as well. So I can definitely say that you're wrong on this one.

[@peterschmidt1453]

College / university should be just like trade schools, teach undergraduate courses that directly relate to a job. I know philosophy is a traditional university course, but it seems philosophical subjects and the arts are attracting way too many students, getting qualifications that contribute to socially divisive indoctrination or are just plain unemployable. Science, Maths, Languages, Business, Teaching, Computers, Engineering - that's what college / uni should be about.

[@irene.9278]

I don't think college has a negative effect, but i do believe that for the most part it has become a bit obsolete. Now the internet is available to almost everyone, the information is out their. People just have to search for it.

[@LuizAlexPhoenix]

I know full well why so many people look down upon rich kids going to college and thinking they know better than anyone else. Still, dismissing proper high knowledge is very bad. College isn't about a piece of paper, it's about conducting research and learn from others. Hell, I am studying my ass off to get a partial government support because I believe it's worth learning from them. It's not about being smarter, but gaining specialized knowledge about a certain area.

[@cartersheehan7440]

education is so important, so why dont they lower college prices. I mean, in 50 years, i bet all jobs are going to need college degrees, but colleges are so expensive that half the population cant afford it. if america really believed education was important, we would significantly lower college prices.

[@armedwombat6816]

[@AhsimNreiziev]

There are multiple ways in which this Age of Unenlightenment presents itself. One of the more subtler ones that might have flown under people's radars, and which I will therefore now highlight, is the recent rise of the _"I am a simple guy / girl."_ comments on KZbin videos _[and possibly other Social Network places; I'm not sure]_ , specifically the way in which they are presented as if being simple like the comments proclaim is a *good* thing. Of course, most of the time this "simpleness" is being shallow and only clicking on a video due to the maker's looks, or avoiding it because it has Maths or some other type of intellectual content in it. So, once and for all: *NO* , people, being "a simple guy" or "a simple girl" is not actually something to be proud of. Quite the contrary: if you are going to present yourself as simple, there should be a decent level of embarrassment to accompany such things.

[@AmmaraSHAH773377]

I'm guessing this is an r/woosh plz be an r/woosh because otherwise the irony in not knowing what the simple refers to instead is so 👌 because the whole statement is undermined by you not understanding the example you've chosen its actually funny That's why i think you must be baiting an r/woosh and if so its good but my comment does not categorise as such so don't respond saying the phrase
