Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for November 22, 2022

Calvinista’s nightmare is over! Calvin don’t need no edimicationing.

We don’t need no education

We don’t need no thought control

No dark sarcasm in the classroom

Teacher, leave them kids alone

(Pink Floyd)

Just another budding trumper

I knew it all by 16. So there!

If ignorance is bliss, ’tis folly to be wise.

I’m not young enough to know everything…

Calvin was born too soon.

I know some conservatives who would make the Right to Remain Ignorant an Amendment to the Constitution.

And I know a lot of radicas/left-wingers who would make the Right to Remain Ignorant an Amendment to the US Constitution, and to their State Constitution.

Which is worse, ignorance or apathy?

.

I don’t know and I don’t care.

“Is it a right to remain ignorant ? Yes, for many politicians.

Yes,Calvin, ignorance is bliss. You will come to this same conclusion after attending school and college when you start to live real life. There is no point growing up. Stay at six and entertain millions across the globe.

All I need to know I learn at GoComics! (So glad it’s back! Where’d it go? We hollered and hollered for you!)

Sound like Calvin has a very Conservative mindset today.

Try winning on “Jeopardy!” Calvin, then we’ll talk.

Looks like Calvin grew up to run GoComics.

I have had many conversations with my wife and my oldest grandson about the ways education, at least in the US, has gone very far astray. In some cases it has gone the “Jeopardy” direction: memorizing UBIs (Useless Bits of Information).

I wonder how much poverty has resulted from unguided young adults being dumped into the 21st century world. Besides knowing how to balance a budget and a family’s diet, we are expected to know enough about employment to get a job that best uses our talents or interests… but we are never taught that. History, far from being a stirring chronical of Man’s path from the beginning of writing to now, is no more than a list of things to memorize. From English I recall endless reading of “literature” and writing reports without nearly enough introduction to the best structure. In my last years of working I discovered I had a talent for document architecture and for writing procedures that can withstand regulatory scrutiny. I sure didn’t learn that in school!

I’m with Calvin on this; step it up or stop wasting everybody’s time.

Also, it looks like Dilbert.com was down for the same period.

They passed a law to take care of that in Florida.

It’s nice of Hobbes to wait at the bus stop with Calvin, even when the weather is chilly enough to require a scarf.

Hopefully Calvin avoids the student loan irritation.

MAGAGAGAGAGAGA

you can refuse to learn, but you’ll have to deal with the consequence of that, you will NEVER be right, you won’t be able to win any arguments, and you will never be in charge because everyone else will know better than you. You can’t even just spout whatever you want on social media anymore because Twitter is dying so your last bastion for saying whatever BS you want unchallenged is going away.

Understatement of the decade.

It sure is nowadays.

Rights are not absolutes, or so I heard.

You want the Right to Remain Ignorant? Simple, then join the MAGA movement.

Knowing stuff is a lot different than understanding stuff.

Unfortunately, yes. And it’s particularly obvious in the US where intelligence and knowledge are actually distrusted by a sizable proportion of the population.

Grows up to be a Republican.

Ignorance is a choice.
