  • Yeah, Im not sure the meme tracks. There is a good book from 2010 called Not for Profit, and discusses how Uni and College only focusing on acedemics like science and course work geared to jobs, while removing the humanities such as art and literature, is creating non-critical thinkers.

    These non critical thinkers will be good workers, easily led, and not able to formulate their own ideas.

    This may seem counter intuitive for science, but science can be just rules you follow to get a result, without having to think deeper and come up with new ideas.

    Anecdotally, I know a person that is brilliant in an academic science role, but always falls for conspiracy theories and makes broad leaps in logic.

    Smart people can be stupid.












  • Wanted a silent server system for various things; fan noise bothers me, and in trying to rid heat also creates it.

    So Monsterlabo case, its all passive heatsink that sandwiches onto your CPU and GPU.

    I wanted a silent fanless PSU but they were hard to get here without huge shipping fees…so I picked up and over spec’d wattage PSU for the system as the fan in it only comes on at 30% watt use.

    SSDs for silent operation, since harddrive access makes noise.

    CPU I5-7400, 16 GB RAM

    You never know its on. CPU runs around 35 C, will hit 49 C when processing a video render or other labour task.
