He did claim the job is easy. I'm sorry, but that's what it implied.

He's not saying teacher's are all Einstein's. He's saying the swath of skill a teacher must possess is very wide, and it's not a cursory level of knowledge and skill. And his description is absolutely correct. He never said teachers are full time experts in every single one of those fields.

Before you say something idiotic like teachers don't need or are not required to have in depth knowledge of psychology, you could do a few common sense things like, oh I don't know, check college requirements for education degrees.

I must have imagined all those undergrad & graduate level psychology and education classes that were REQUIREMENTS to getting an education degree, which I had to have to get a teaching license! You know, classes that couldn't have a thing to do with psychology. Let's whip out that transcript and take a look:

101 Introduction to Psychology
300 Foundations of Education (heavy doses of educational psychology)
301 Human Development and Learning
607 (That's a graduate level class) Advanced Educational *PSYCHOLOGY*
605 Theory and Practice of Education/Special Needs Students

There were also Practicum classes with heavy doses of psychology.

Does your job require you to take five semesters of psychology in college to get licensed to do your job?

And that's my point with both of you. You have absolutely no clue whatsoever about the teaching profession, and yet you insist over and over and over you somehow do because you attended school. You clearly don't have a clue, so how about you go learn about these specific areas before you speak to them instead of trying to prove an ignorant point of view.

That's what he said. You don't think he was saying the job is easy?! So what did he mean by "low-human-potential"?!

Obviously he was inferring you.
I kid. I kid. But no one is claiming the job is "easy". I'm sure it has it's difficulties. @chilaxe didn't even infer that it was. He was responding to this ludicrous notion that being a teacher is as difficult as you guys are alluding. I mean, have you read dft's summation of the job? You'd think the teachers were fucking Einsteins wearing every hat imaginable.
I mean, you guys are laying it on thick. I've had jobs where I was hired because of a specific skill, but also had to do things unrelated to that skill set. But you don't hear me over here claiming I'm a file clerk because I had to file the occasional paperwork. Or that I'm a receptionist because I answered my own phones. Or that I'm a disciplinarian because I was the lead on a team. Or, and this is my personal favorite, a psychologist! A fucking psychologist! Seriously, dft claimed that being a teacher is akin to having eight years medical school! I mean fuck me in the face! lol
Whatever, you guys have become parodies of yourselves by this point. I'm done with this discussion. Haha. Fucking psychologists teaching at our public schools! This is phenomenal! Our kids should be geniuses! lol.

I put the tag there in case a less educated jazz fan like myself went searching for the song under his name, as many people are familiar with his recording. >> ^rottenseed:

I didn't watch the whole thing but why is Miles Davis in the tags?

Can someone please explain Jazz to me? So much of it just sounds random and dissonant to me - like that entire stretch from 1:00 to 1:17 or 1:53 to approx 2:50. It just sounds so gross. I'm almost physically repulsed by the ugly sounds coming from that sax, and it is a startling constrast with the beautiful intro of this song. What is the merit and reasoning behind Jazz?


It's improvisation. Sometimes you have to really be in the musicians head, so to speak, to get it. Because it mostly depends on how they feel at that time. Listen to the one in Norsueleffanti's link, that one is a little more melodic.

+1 for "Take Five"

Is it just me or did she take five and a half minutes to say cut the mackerel in half and fry it?

I've seen other things she's done and they've been great. I just don't see where the recipe is in this one!

Do what thou wilt has little, read nothing, to do with the naive and simplistic interpretation most often applied resulting in the wastrel excesses all too often attributed to it.

One must first have Will, not will, but Will.

Oh and that bugaboo, Knowledge. Don't forget the Gnostic influence.

The Beast indeed.

Old G. I. was mentioned. Cool.

Oh, and he was brilliant. Insane, a legal term. Crazy, interesting.

Magick not real? On the first page of the book entitled so he defines a magician as one who seeks personal power. I could tell you things.

He created no religion. The practices he employed and taught were older than you can imagine. The Christian Church itself stole Gnostic Masses. He studied and mastered disciplines from the most ancient extant sources. His disdain for the Golden Dawn, the Church, or anyone else was based on his dislike for inefficiency, inefficacy, and ignorance. He refined practices that in the Golden Dawn, for instance, would take five minutes, but his would take a few seconds utilizing his abreviation and would Work.

Try reading a few books, won't do much good. He and Gurdjieff wrote in a very ancient and prescribed manner. G. I. would have his students and fellows read his manuscripts. If they could read and comprehend, he would rewrite. Read Crowley voluminously and repititiously and at a point of critical mass it will all come together and make sense.

Pick up a Buddhist Tantric Sutra. You may understand every word in it but you will not comprehend one sentence without initiation.

Please, I apologize if this seems diatribic, it is not meant so I assure you.

Sex and drugs, whole other long...already ran my mouth too much.

Thanks for that. I posted 4 of him in all, and I personally thought that one was the best of them. So, of course, it was the only one not to get sifted. I always feel a little weird pimping my own vids, but here's all 4 vids if you're interested. I recommend at least the oldest one for the geek in everyone.

Jeez dude - cut the little guy some slack. I mean, how often is a kid that plays the Star Wars Cantina song on harp going to get laid?

instead, they present him with an opportunity to lie and backpedal, which he promptly does.

Which might be forgiven if he didn't make that same lie over and over again. There are videos of at least 3 different occasions on which Galloway repeatedly insists that he has condemned Saddam since the 80's, that he was ahead of everyone else. He insists that he has always been of that opinion, ignoring that this video provides direct evidence that is a lie. But some people might say, however implausible, that a story can be concocted that would explain this video. We are then faced with Galloway's repeated defense of Ahmadinejad anytime anyone on air with him dares suggest that Ahmadinejad has publicly expressed a desire to remove Israel from the map. Galloway becomes indignant and raves about how no reputable scholar in the world backs such an outrageous notion. And yet, if you take five minutes with google video, you can find several public speeches presented by Ahmadinejad rallying crowds to cheers of "Death to Israel". Galloway can not be ignorant of this, he is a willful liar, apologist and propagandist, and his record is unmistakable.

You're an Alaskan and you don't know that Palin came from Wasilla? What rock do you hide under? Town of 9000? Got your news from liberalBias.com? There are 60,000 people + in the valley.
> ...Somewhere out there
Oh you mean the suburb of Anchorage were 30,000 people a day commute from into the biggest city of Alaska.
Believe me, I'm no republican, I just think your message reeks. As for experience she is the only name on any ticket with any executive experience at all.


No, I don't know Palin is from Wasilla. I thought she was from Palmer, which is considerably smaller. Does it really matter? The entire Mat-Su Valley is relatively small. It takes five minutes to get from Palmer to Wasilla. They might as well be the same.

Alaska is the second smallest state in the nation (population-wise, obviously), and Anchorage accounts for half the population of the state. She couldn't get her experience as mayor of a decent sized town?

Let's do it for Brother Malcolm, soul sister.
