The American philosophy on education is that you should know absolutely everything you're taught. Not entirely sure how that's any different from over here or anywhere else, really. If it's taught to you, you're supposed to know it. Seems like a pretty normal thing.
Then your minimum scores to pass a class are laughable.
How so? Rather than making 70% your passing mark, you set it at 50. A 50% mark means you know all of the material enough to pass. Anything higher shows that you're able to make additional connections or have a deeper understanding of the material than what is expected to merely succeed. What would be an 85 there would translate in maybe a 65 here. It's just a different scale which allows more room to accurately depict how well a student did. While a 50 might be a pass, it won't mean much on a resume.
I don't know what kind of demented world you Europoors live in, but you can't just decide to move a percentage point. 100% means you know everything in the course 100% of everything there is to know on the subjects covered in the class. 70% means you've retained a little over two thirds of that, which is passable, but not gonna win you any medals. Of course, you can finish a course with a higher average than 100, though it is rare. I don't see where you get the idea that 50% of anything is most of it.

85 is not good?
It's good, but it doesn't look half as sparkly on a transcript as 90 or 95.
Ah, I see. Grades like a 90 are practically impossible to achieve over here, so that had me confused.
The American philosophy on education is that you should know absolutely everything you're taught. To compensate for this a lot of information deemed nonessential is cut out. The lowest passing score is generally 70%, but those kind of scores will get you laughed at in grad school applications.

There are no "higher levels of reality". There's just reality. Well, according to the laws of physics, Door is technically correct... BUT Interfacing with higher levels of reality you fucking coward However an expansion in man's ability to perceive dimensions has nothing to do with philosophical enlightenment. Simply understanding and coming to terms with higher levels of reality will make us no more capable to interface with them than we are now. We would almost certainly feel hopeless and powerless before higher dimensions, and that is reason enough to avoid them; we would gain nothing and waste centuries of research.

I'm sad to say I own most of these things, if not those specific brands and models. Weird 90's/00's fashion resurgence when? It's already happening. OT: You still bought a FUCKING WALKMAN

Why would an individual want to be enlightened? I'm almost 100% certain that any truths that could be revealed to us are disturbing and that is why we are blind to them in the first place. Perhaps we have blocked them out over the course of our evolution in order to allocate more resources to science and less to being mortified by the shrill nature of the world? Name a single reason an individual would seek a state of enlightenment.

it's pretty much like getting a girl drunk or something except there's not much the woman can do about falling prey to a guy if she is being forced to act in a way just by being near him. If you make a choice to get drunk you've made a choice to live with whatever you do while intoxicated. However the two are not even slightly alike, because: •You elect to get drunk, you do not elect to smell a person •Getting drunk impairs your judgement, being slightly aroused does not •If I don't wash my dick for three days, it will exude more of these pheromones than a body spray ever could •YOU DON'T FUCKING RAPE PEOPLE BY NOT WASHING YOUR DICK It's not that complicated, people.

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT
THE HUMAN BODY NATURALLY EXUDES THESE PHEROMONES ALREADY
This is in no way rape, you can't say someone raped you just because they smelled an arousing odor.
Besides, they could just as easily smell you and fuck the next guy they spoke to instead, because being aroused =/= impaired judgement.
That'd make for a great court case.
"Oh, I was aroused by his scent, there was no way I couldn't fuck him!"
That's like saying that because I'm good at hitting on chicks that I'm a rapist.

Wouldn't socialism be the more logical outcome?
Why would public ownership of the means of production help? Liberal markets hitting a wall doesn't mean democratic bureaucracies will suddenly stop sucking dick.
But if Communism comes around, those democratic bureaucracies would cease to exist. At least that's how it's always happened because Communism is an anarchistic thing.
Communism and democracy are not mutually explicit.

It makes me wonder how the internet was able to function at it's conception without the useage of ads.
Truly, a mystery for the ages.
It annoyed us by making a lot of noise instead.

>has the solution to all the world's problems in one simple philosophy
>never taken seriously because it doesn't cater to base egoist desires whatsoever
>spend the rest of your days watching people waste their lives arguing over what's right and what's wrong
>watch the world shred itself to pieces over astronomically stupid shit as the solution lies right in front of their eyes
>become a resentful curmudgeon, thriving solely on his own insurmountable pessimism, distrusting everyone, loving no one
>die
>two centuries later, literally nothing has changed--yet the one obvious solution still remains
Sure, if you believe life is out to get all of us.
