my tour guide told me about them and they sound so fun and immersive

polar moss
#

we just talked about revolutions lmfaoo and about how all the academic theories have so many loopholes that the entire field is jsut one ongoing debate

#

the readings will be like "and thats why this research report raises more questions than it answers!"

frank pond
#

is it really possible to simplify human movements into a science

cosmic cobalt
#

no

polar moss
#

absolutely not

its just like in literature, where the moment you try to define a trend/convention, some author will go out of their way to break it

polar moss
#

because also historical documentation is very scattered and innaccurate so we can only draw generalizations

rose lava
late swift
#

mhm

#

i agree

polar moss

#

so like russian, chinese, mexican revolutions, the arab spring revolutions, the color revolutions in eastern europe over electoral fraud

history provides a diff way of thought comapred to the sciences and i feel like that's somewhere i need to expand my brain in some more. Like consdiering soruces, historography, context, etc...

# rose lava did u guys talk abt marxist theory? and like the diff social reovlutions.

basically we can divide grievances into pre and post materialist phases, pre being mostly before WW2 and the 1960s civil rights/anti war movements in the US. because quality of life was lower before, most movement activity could be characterized by more of a marxist lens because we are thinking about pure class struggle organizing through unions, tenant farmers, etc of people whose material economic conditions were their grievances and motivated revolution

rose lava
#

at least compared to the standard HS level

polar moss
#

the marxist lens of substantiating revolutionary desires falls apart when you look at the post material motivations for movements for civil rights, women's rights, anti war, environmental, animal rights, and pro democracy

rose lava
#

but it applies p well in a lot of other revolutions like the 1905 russian one which was a bourgoise rev effectively

#

but that's material ofc

#

that seems like a W class

polar moss
#

so we can call these "post materialist" values that are more concerned with morality, pursuit of justice, and cultural shifts in issues that are not directly related to one's personal economic condition and more about pursuing a more "just" society. and this correlates strongly to the decommodification of middle class people as quality of life improves and they arent concerned with two principle matters of security from war and having enough money to survive

rose lava
#

mhm

#

damn are you like a pol sci major - my hopefuly physics major ah couldn't phrase my ideas like that.

polar moss
#

and thats also why we see so many more "urban civic revolutions" in the middle east, northern africa, and eastern europe in the past 30 years which are sort of mixes of social and political revolutions. the political grievances (corruption, electoral fraud) are somewhat caused by acts of a regime that also create material economic grievances (low wages, unemployment, an unresponsive government bureaucracy), so we see a mix of revolutionary grievances that can be explained both by marxist and post-marxist frameworks of inequality and justice

#

but the cool thing is my professor was the one who coined the term urban civic revolution lmfaoo

polar moss
#

he cites his own book like every few weeks

#

questbridge?

polar moss
#

the courses that zoom into one thing are much better and thought provoking. the entire course is framed as a debate between competing political theories and eveyr week we got to discuss it in the supplemetnal section in a small group of like 8 kids

quiet echo
polar moss
#

thats what i like about the classes here

shy summit
#

damn

frank pond
#

small classes?

shy summit
#

I'm kinda worried about my junior year grades being a few pts lower do you think that a slight downward trajectory is rly bad

quiet echo

#

in the app?

frank pond
#

do you think intro-level classes are large or they also pretty small

quiet echo

i included a brief paragraph explaining but kept it vague

yeah

rose lava
shy summit
#

true

rose lava
#

all A's are equal and so on

shy summit
#

i still got all A's just slightly lower across the board

rose lava
#

honestly if ur grades are constantly at the A/A- range or wtv idt it matters

shy summit
#

ok cool

rose lava
#

if u put stuff in the extra section it just makes u seem kidna desperate

#

for a small grade dip

shy summit
#

i feel really good about my entire app it's just that

#

yeah i kept it vague for that reason

shy summit
polar moss
# versed charm Where does the “urban” part come from?

so, mark beissinger (the prof) was particuarly interested in how spatial factors affect revolutions. urban spaces thicken revolutionary potential and violent state repression because thousands of people will gather in central areas (around government buildings or national capitols) to demand a regime steps down and legitimization and democratization of the next regime. basically revolutions occur more frequently when you have spaces of concentrated aggrieved populations trying to topple centers of military, political, and economic power. it's more common for the police to give up, or for authoritarian regimes to lose legitimacy when their power can be contested in such an intimate and physically overtaken way

quiet echo

oh got it, i was wondering if you didn't submit with like a 1500 or whatever i have friends doing that

@cunning vortex i stumbled upon a course called radical political thought that covers marxism anarchism feminism and like eco-socialism

#

ITS LITERALLY THE VIDEO OF TRUMP

the marxists, the anarchists, the looters

oh sick how do you like it

i thought it was good, gave a good theoretical basis of why revolutions and movements happen

😭😭😭

polar moss
#

how have the quizzes been for u

rose lava
#

The pareto graphs are the worst

#

they are ugly

polar moss
#

if u do fine on those im sure the final will be similar cause the practice final was like our quiz content functionally

rose lava
#

I didn’t go to the last quiz or turn in the last pset I’ve just been done with this class

#

but I’ve done fine on everything so far yeah

polar moss
#

i think youll be fine then

#

if its gone mostly well

rose lava
#

I will probably lose my A though I heard she’s trying to make the final super hard

#

Like 60% of the class has As apparently and she wants to cut it in half

polar moss
#

good for her

rose lava
#

NO

polar moss
#

i love noonan so much

rose lava
#

same but no not good for her

polar moss
#

i actually know her really well, she has pretty good politics

rose lava
#

this is like the only A I have 😭😭😭

polar moss
#

we talked about it once and she thinks healthcare should be more socialized

rose lava
#

and she’s gonna take it from me 💔

rose lava
polar moss
#

its princeton economics

rose lava
#

true

#

how can someone's politics be defined as "good" when it's all subjective

polar moss
#

i mean the article on eco100 is right but i asked her if she thought this course approximated reality and she said she views it as more of an introduction to the driving forces behind econ and that she thinks it sets up students to study econ more rigorously once they have the foundations of what market forces mean

#

and that she doesnt see it as an endorsement of free market capitalism necessarily

cunning vortex
#

are the econ courses taught heavily based on princeton economics? how much external econ methodologies do they incorporate

rose lava
#

I mean 100 is pretty basic econ it is like the same stuff covered in AP

#

idk how much of it is Princeton but I know the Nash equilibriums are!!

cunning vortex
#

like for example do u ever use the uchicago economics

rose lava
#

wtf are UChicago economics

cunning vortex
#

ig my q was moreso like

polar moss
#

not that complex

cunning vortex
#

are the econ courses taught solely on the principles that princeton alumni and fcaulty pursue

#

how much of the content is based on economists from other schools

i k one hypsm + caltech

in terms of students they want

acc nuts

because they get the realyl good math kids

cause pton is some of the strongest math kids in the world

#

my class also has an ipho gold guy

#

rly?

#

i feel like mit gets the best ones

polar moss

but in general the math deparmtent is its own beast here

gleaming timber
#
  • they both like students commited deeply to one subject
polar moss
#

incredibly rigorous, kids who are doing graduate level courses

gleaming timber
#

like math for example

polar moss
#

nah, so mit gets more olympiad types

gleaming timber
#

but stanford wants more well rounded studetns

polar moss
#

pton math gets more research/ pure academic inquiry and self learning types

yeah that makes sense

if you are applying as engineering / math

but stanny and pton r my top 1

losing its touch dr

#

they either get accepted to pton or mit

that's why

25% of pton is engineering majors

they admit accordingly

not admitting by major is only a half truth
