I had a professor this semester who is a community organizer from Chicago (I kid you not). He was utterly worthless, I am one of a number of students who reported him for being worthless, and he hates me (because he always did and) because the administration has evidently cracked down on him.
He holds a chokehold over EVERY student in my discipline, since every student will have to take this ONE professor for one worthless (waste of money), but required course.
What do I do? This is so wrong. So very very heinously wrong. He is so worthless, and so transparently partisan, yet he gets to pick winners and losers, and I am going into debt for this degree!
This is a Republican area. With a Republican alumnus base, and a Republican legislature. I am in absolute despair and am utterly depressed. Please give me advice.
>>Which is not synonymous with making it the right thing.<<
Agreed.
It is the practical thing.
Even before academia was taken over by the beard-scratches we all had profs we disagreed with — in some cases VEHEMENTLY.
The really great ones we could argue with and in loud tones and strong words.
The weak ones whose only qualification was passing along rote and rubbing blue mud in their belly button we just pacified as best we could.
Survival as an undergrad.
“Men look at the outside, but God looks at the heart.”
Your approach will take people to smaller rewards, if not to hell, at the end of the day.
Actually the most famous prestidigitators tend to bust on the occult because they see they’re just doing stage magic poorly and scamming people.
7. Join the Marines and travel to strange lands, meet exotic people and kill them.
Does that make practical the right thing?
Look back at the early church. About as “impractical” as all get out, but that’s because they had a supernatural Energy doing things that the world would never fuel.
There’s different occults, there’s the occult that just does tricks, and then there is the occult that gets the confidence in demons.
Nope. My approach takes people to understanding the world the live in. Nobody is going to hell for putting 8 hours on the time sheet when they blew out in 7 but the company wants all time sheets to read 8.
Which they have absolutely nothing to do with. Again, I KNOW THESE PEOPLE and on this subject you are, frankly, lying.
And so merely worldly tricks would be disdained by them, just like sincere Christians disdain polyester televangelists who could not get blessing freed from a wet paper bag.
The deeper occult gets their hearty approval.
Or they have pulled wool over your eyes, and I am frankly telling the truth. Thanks for revealing your acquaintances.
Or you’re full of crap. And since I’ve known some of these people for close to 30 years...
People incorporate hell into their lives by doing this. Not all companies even require it, however.
Long enough for them to teach you a lot, I would say!
Not necessarily a good idea.
Some schools prohibit recording devices of any type (for just such reasons)
Depending on the school rules and the state laws, it can be considered wire taping, requiring the other persons permission or acknowledgement.
Long enough for them to teach me there is NO real magic and anybody that says otherwise is an idiot... oh wait I knew that already.
(Which doesn’t mean my opinion on the overall matter changed an iota. Is it any wonder that Hollyweird is known for leftism uber alles? Yeah, the acting troupes.)

Flunking out of college for ideological reasons is about as impractical as it gets.
Oh, is the bible an idiot? It has to be dumbed down to your level?
Wow what a revelation. A God who does not exist forbidding a practice that never happens....
I don’t care about your opinion, but when you start declaring as fact that people I know are into the occult you’re a liar. Which given how the conversation got here is funny. But a sad kind of funny.
This could be a false dichotomy on your part.
