BANDITO'S PROFILE

Well then that guy needs to screw his head on more.

Sorry if I sounded a bit harsh/overly passionate at several points in my post, but I just hate it when people deride the values of education. Whether you like it or not, everyone needs it to some degree, and getting it through unconventional means just might not be the best way depending on who you are.

I feel like you too. That guy is an idiot.


Anyways I am going an example of my time in the AIr Force.

My job is Respiratory technician. In order to learn that I had to take a year and a half of school. Normally it takes 2 to 4 years but the military cut the classes you don't use like history, math etc.. and just teaches you what you need in order to do the job. After you finish the school you go do your job. But wait in order to do the job by yourself you need to pass another year of an apprenticeship. So I had to do a year of an apprenticeship in order to learn to do the job. Pretty much it was on the job training, so in reality I was doing school and a apprenticeship for over 2 years. I learn in school how everything works etc...but in the apprenticeship I put everything together in order to do the job. So tradtional school in needed in order to learn the theory behind the job, while the apprenticeship just put everything together in order to do the job correctly and efficiently.

Plus going to college you learn a lot of how society works etc...

1. Education doesn't encourage thinking, it just wants you to repeat and memorize.

The creator of the curriculum you are learning said this, "Memorization is the lowest level of thinking." Soak in that thought for a second. When was the last time you actually have to use your creative thinking skills in class? If you are the typical student, pretty close to never. Nerds aren't really smart, they're just better at memorizing sh*t than you are. This is the reason why nerds rarely know crap about the real world; and if they are truly smart, it's prob because of some lame hobby (warcraft, magic the gathering, etc.) that they were able to gain from to apply to real world experience. For the most part, people who get straight As are generally dumb as f*ck.

2. You don't need 12 years of education to learn all the stuff you need to learn.

If education truly centers itself around real learning and not rote memorization, the amount of stuff you need to learn only requires 2-3 years. Once you truly understand a concept, you don't need to memorize it. This is something many people don't seem to fully grasp. Memorization is comprehension. The fact you need to learn a topic over and over, and then have it regurgitate again in your first 2 years of college, proves beyond a shadow of doubt you're not really learning sh*t. This is the reason why they have to beat it in your mind over and over again: you're not learning sh*t and they need to remind you a few years later, only to have you forget it again once you graduate.

3. Apprenticeship > Education.

Before education, we have a thing call apprenticeship. A child learns from a true professional; the professional teaches him EVERYTHING from writing, math, reading, and, the most important part of education, HOW TO DO THE JOB. The lowest form of apprenticeship only takes 2 years, while the most difficult job takes no more than 6 years (Doctor for example). A kid can start his apprenticeship at the age of 13 and be a doctor at 19. Nowadays a kid has to go through 12 years of education and the best job he'll prob get is Mcdonald's if he doesn't waste his life another 4 years. Sad, but true.


PS: I took this from a guy's post from another forum.
I was just wondering everyone thoughts on the matter.

That's the thing, if you go outside you will notice nature is cluttered with random things everywhere unless man takes care of it. Heck if people abandon a big city like New York alone nature will take over and plants will start to grow from under the sidewalk, and it has happened. In my opinion your map looks fine.

Of course if you post pics of man made things that is another thing to consider.

Is it possible to have a coordinate that is less than zero or a number negative on RPG maker?
