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.

    Take the opportunity.

    Be a moral person, sure, but don’t be moralistic.

      There are parts of me that really want to. Guns are fun, I’m sure learning theory of war, strategy and tactical theory would all be pretty fucking awesome. Unfortunately I think it requires my active enlistment as an officer after graduation. Also I don’t think I could help but ruthlessly bully the children of rich people until suspension.

        You do not have to go from now to shooting a gun; that’s the wrong way to go about it.
