the education system is peak fuckin capitalism lmao

they spend our entire youth instilling peak Randian individualist drivel and making a system where to succeed you just have to work really hard while ignoring everyone else

and then in the last five seconds they're like "oh fuck, isn't 99.9% of actual work communal group projects???" and shove groups of socially inept youth together to do group work with zero experience to the point where group projects are despised in American schools because everyone is so focused on themselves and these groups inevitably go to shit because of that

i had a project management class where every fucking lesson was just "communicate and treat each other like human beings haha" because people literally needed to hear that

basically something something contradictions
