I’m currently starting my last year of my polisci degree. I’ve been studying cybernetics, systems theory and stuff and there are a few graduate programs in the US that are fairly new. An interesting one I found is hosted at Westpoint. Obviously an institute of oppression, but I can see many practical advantages. I don’t think it’s a good idea but also like… How many people are in that position to take that opportunity? I need confirmation that it’s a good idea to not submit myself to that horror, even if it may be an insanely incredible asset.

    fair enough that you would consider it but i think the issue is less the instituion and perhaps the potential student colleagues, could you see yourself spending three years surrounded by the people that would willingly go to westpoint and not spending yourentire student life in arguements. i think whatever benefits a graduate program might offer would be negated by the mental duress/stress about having to exist around these people. though that being said i think that for uni in general.

      Thanks, this is what I was looking for. There’s no way I could keep my head down and pander for 3 years, I’d go insane.
