I’m currently starting my last year of my polisci degree. I’ve been studying cybernetics, systems theory and stuff and there are a few graduate programs in the US that are fairly new. An interesting one I found is hosted at Westpoint. Obviously an institute of oppression, but I can see many practical advantages. I don’t think it’s a good idea but also like… How many people are in that position to take that opportunity? I need confirmation that it’s a good idea to not submit myself to that horror, even if it may be an insanely incredible asset.
Do you have other options? If so, you can compare them.
You can make a list of pro’s and cons. See what really bothers you about this opportunity.
Depriving yourself of an education because of your ideology is not always the way to go. It’s important to get educated if possible. You can’t always do everything 100% correct, you sometimes need to get results one way or another in order to get to your goal.
Oh yeah, I have lots of options. Systems Science has become increasingly important study as the world starts to need analysis of incredibly complex interdisciplinary systems. In fact the one place that I really want to go to is the Portland State program. I’m hoping the housing market crashes and I can buy a condo near campus for pennies. I’ve been a fortunate prole as I am going back to school in my late 20s early 30s while having a trade skill that allows for full time work on weekends to compensate.
