Finished 2 of 3 exams for this semester. Last one (elementary maths didactics) follows in two days. I don't think I'll do more studying today. Exam went alright, but it's German didactics, so it might be a B or a D, I can't say, but I'm sure I passed. With only 30 points to reach, it's unlikely it's gonna be a good grade. It doesn't matter anyhow.

The Ministry of Education (MOE) will not reinstate the Primary School Achievement Test (UPSR) and Form Three Assessment (PT3), which were abolished in 2022. Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek emphasised that any proposal to reintroduce these exams requires a thorough review.  MOE Confirms UPSR and PT3 Will Remain Abolished She stressed that children should not be treated as experimental…

These minor inconveniences are getting a little too frequent

[maxknightley]

Online job applications were a widespread crypto-eugenics program that took hold during the late 20th and early 21st century. These applications were notable for heavy use of videoconference interviews, little to no emphasis on exams and assessments (with rare exceptions, usually implemented to obtain unpaid labor from applicants), and a general disregard for time, scheduling, results, or basic human dignity.

Despite widespread contemporary criticism, the online job application was only abolished after the Job Board Riots in the latter half of the century.

I think we should abolish closed book exams.

I don't go to school or college anymore but that's something that can cause help anxiety (too afraid to ask for help) for students.

It's far from being realistic anyway. Real world workplaces force you to cooperate with others (and therefore ask for each other's assistance).

so...some tobirama things

[these are my old comments and chats and bullet points so will sound incoherent in a post]

the first major early era capitalist

aside from the literal ninja nuclear bomb jutsu that's his signature, tbrm inventions are all his attempt to redistribute some og bloodline bullshit his bro had and abolish the clan mindset.

shadow clones work the same way as Wood Clones. It tricks all magic eyes, kill time doing shit and for info gathering

flying thunder god is an advanced summoning jutsu (which senju are good at) where "teleporting" just means literally summoning yourself from one place to another as long as you marked the place before. No magic or jutsu could track it.

wood jutsus and sharingans and byakugans are bloodline limits only his bro and big clans could do. he couldnt.

so what do he do? Make similar stuff everyone could learn and do regardless of clans,

Tl dr , bro is an early era capitalist who took power and jutsus from the elite feudal clans, flipped them off together with their clannism, and produced accessible and user friendly means for non-clan , non blood limit people that are willing to pay for it

Cause everyone from big clans was just sticking to themselves and going all Dues ex MACHINA on power

And it really depended on who had the bigger better nukes, who was going to RULE

and that SUCKS for everyone else, the normal people

of course his stuff also served as counters of those very blood limits and middle fingers to them bc he's an bitter asshole that way, just not the kind everyone thinks

in father's time, the eldest son of a clanhead becomes clan heads ALWAYS and they could do what ever they want. this is not father's time. this is the end of the feudal mindset. their version of democratic national republic, so you gotta get the people's rep votes to decide who rules.

2. sacrifice - the foundations of the new ninja world

Most fans, even his own fans, due to the databook's wording, remember him as "the one who built the village". as in building the infrastructures and concrete things. thats only scratching the surface of who he really was : he IS the village by virtue of his deeds. And the point of him doing all that he does is ...he literally is the only one who ado it to the highest standards and thats both great and ironic, because everyone does it, but NO one else does it like him.

[easy for him to say lol]

he sacrificed himself, so everyone does the same, but others like Shikamaru sacrifice because they think they are the fittest to die, like they are the weakest or most sacrificable. tobiramas sacrifice should have hit hard, bc he sacrificed precisely BECAUSE he was literally the most unfit to die, the strongest, the most nonsensible choice to die. Thats how it paved such a strong legacy. And i think, while not meaning to do anything in that calibre, and never showing these qualities of ninja, and most likely having got a normal death, hashirama was the one tobirama learned from, by his almost suicide to protect tobirama, as the strongest in his clan. The difference is while hashirama was doing it just for his brother and his friend, tobirama imprinted that into his mind and did that for everyone. He made a brothers love into a worldwide legacy, a tradition.

Tobirama didnt just create the chuunin exams, he was the standards based on which they test shinobis in the exams. Intelligence, planning, general smart fighting and info gathering skills, time based choices, bravery and once again, the will to sacrifice yourself. Shikamaru is the only one who passed that time because he acted exactly like Tobirama would in all the exams. The chuunin exams is to sort out who is the most like him.

He didnt just create the Anbu who are special assasins and spies who has no name. He IS the special assassin and spy. Because since childhood he was THAT assassin and that spy, a deadly shadow behind a leader.

He didnt just create the Police Force. He IS the one with all the qualities to be the Police : strictness, caution, principles, law abiding, fraternity and loyalty.

bonus not to mention he is not the one who built the physical village. hashirama is. hashirama was the one with visual thinking and works in the present. he knew what the village is gonna look like and where to build it since he was a kid. hashirama built the physical village like the pillar tree he is, he takes care of it's SPACE, makes sure it exist for people to reside in. tobirama embodies the IDEA and standards of the village and takes care of it's TIME, makes sure it lasts for the next generation.

but how do you reform an institution without voting? shouldn't it be abolish? build up a community, then a movement, then use it to shove those oppressive institutions aside?

sorry how do i say this but india is at a kind of nadir, we are nowhere close to popular revolution and every single insurgency has been murdered. maybe you're confusing me for having the tiresome usamerican debate about all parties being the same and voting being counterproductive – but india has like 40+ parties. even 3 different 'communist' parties have 7 seats this year. i see electoralism as a limited strategy – one that is expensive and demands a lot of sacrificies.

voting doesn't actually affect bureaucracy that much in most countries, in india the ias exams and training produce the career public servants who turn out to be craven fascist collaborators and opportunists. pressure on the streets gets reforms too. reforms are easier than abolition. that was how we got lokpal. the farm laws were passed in parliament bc both sides mostly agree about neoliberalism but the streets made them take it back.

we desperately need reforms wrt how local govt operates with impunity to disenfranchise people cf bulldozer raj. we need to jam up the cops. we need so many more courts and judges. we need breathing space so we can organise and sustain movements, not have everyone arrested on sedition charges. a latam commie described it as being trapped in cage and working to increase the size of the cage so you can live long enough to break it.

but i also don't just mean govt institutions, im talking universities and media and civil society and cultural organisations. like the amount of opportunism in the country is sickening and makes me really despair.
