What i learnt today.

In the past year and a half things have stagnated or got worse in many areas on my life. Relationships have fallen and hurt terribly mainly due to my negligence.
Things are going to change.
I am moving to Melbourne and i expect this to be a turning point i am leaving any ties i had before and i am going to remake myself. Every selfish ideal that i allowed myself to create over years. ideals ofnot giving a shit and not being pushed to do anything by anyone else, and worst of all, me has to change.
I have felt myself not becoming more stupid but rather my education has stagnated. This my effort to change it.
I'll spend a few hours daily researching politically things and then i will post what i learnt on here. I don't suppose many people will read this but hey if anyone does you guys can hold me to my word.
I want this to be not only a journey of my education but a place where all those who never had a schooling system who was brave enough to tackle teaching us the most important problems or how to protests them.
I wish this blog to be chance to learn about politics to learn from someone who speaks in simple to understand terms and who wont knock you back for wanting to learn more.

Lets get started shall we?


OK so three hours later this is what i learnt.
I started by checking on a 420chan post that i made asking people about what they think i should look at from a leftist perspective.
It didn't take long before i deviated from the original subject.
i started here http://neweconomicperspectives.org/2012/06/the-mixed-economy-manifesto-part-1.html
What i learnt was that... well.. fucking nothing really. the post that linked me to this said she tried to explain in the clearest terms possible which, i have to say, she did a fucking terrible job at. what the fuck is keynesianism? classical economics? neo-classical? wtf? I did however learn something from that post but it was about evolution.

Now i havent read the whole thing (mainly due to getting bored and going to the next thing. i'll get better at this whole reading whole article thing. i hope.) but what i got was that natural selection is not solely based on individual traits that allow an animal to survive and procreate better than its peers but also on how groups within a species interact to do the same thing.
It doesn't work anywhere near as well as individual adaption but its still there.
I think this is called multi-level selection theory. I'll finish that and confirm.
Then i watch a video about why FPP sucks many floppy phalluses. (phalli?) i already knew this so i wont explain it but if you want me to i would be more than happy to in the comments.
This video then brought me into the wonderful world of CGPgrey explaining shit to me.
and he explained to me how the electoral college worked.

I'm sure ill do better tomorrow!
