Why do People Care?

In the beginning I thought I could debate and discuss things at DI and change minds. I knew that unaccredited degrees were much more usable than the gang was saying, how? I have had them for years, first hand experience. I also saw them saying things like, "DETC schools would not be acceptable except in rare instances." After several research studies I found that DETC schools are acceptable to about 97% of employers and will transfer to about 60% of regionally accredited schools and to most nationally accredited schools. The unaccredited schools are accepted at roughly 5-10% of accredited schools. In employment about 96% of private employers will see the degrees from unaccredited colleges as being positive to good.

What we had was the truth, unaccredited schools have value and usability and the nationally accredited schools are accepted almost the same as the bottom end RA schools such as Excelsior.

No, you won't be teaching at Yale with two degrees from Pacific Western University and you will also not be teaching at Yale if you only have degrees from the big three plus a few more such schools, one being Union.

What I never caught on to, in the beginning, was that they (the gang) wasn't being ignorant, they were deliberately lying to enhance their own positions, such as, RA or No Way. One could provide many reasons why grown men would lie and distort facts trying to attack other people, attempting to prove the unprovable, that schools such as TESC and Excelsior/ Capella are just the same as schools such as the University of Texas / Penn. State University. They lie for selfish reasons and to satisfy their weird needs.

The hard-core at DI are different in life-style and in their views of life. I believe they are incapable of argument and debate. They need to be enhanced and made more. Any discussion must conform to these needs and how they view themselves. The gang isn't about quality and usability, but about what they have done being good and it being better than what someone else has done. Go to DI if you will but you won't be welcome unless you are willing to treat average people with challenging problems as if they are experts and special. They want to be treated as good while acting very bad. Now that doesn't happen very often in life.

The DI peoople are masters of the self-fulfilling prophesy. They predict that an unaccredited degree will bring shame and embarrassment and then set about calling schools, employers, or the media to ensure their prediction comes true. They are truly a shameless bunch of misfits.

well, of course the basics are there & are simple.
Me for one was browsing for educational offers recently under "philosophy".
I found a very catchy and interesting site with an equally catchy offer, but i bothered to investigate and it easily turned out it was a brainchild of dodgy & unaccredited WARNBOROUGH UNIVERSITY ( The Brendan Tempest-Mogg operation )...hell, years ago they claimed they were "accredited" through a fire brigade school in Tasmania and a cooking school in Malaysia, or whatever that was...then...too many skin changes for me.
So the basics are really simple: do your job & investigate.

Of course this ignores the fact the clique members may very well be interested in closing a sale.
Besides, what about ego?
If you are a middle-aged jew but your name isn't Derrida, Freud, Nostradamus, Paul of Tarsus, Levinas, Spielberg etc etc, then you have to go the extra mile to get the press interested in you, right?
I'm sure John & George Dana understand.

The only three ways I can imagine of being great are:
1-Be born with great talents and skill.
2-Accomplish some great things.
3-Or, spend your life telling everyone how great you are and brag about every time you piss and miss your shoes and pants.

Since I know of nothing JB or GG have done that is so very remarkable that others would see either as the next Tiger Woods or Mark Twain, they must be members of number 3.

I suppose there are worse habits than being an unashamed self-promoter with tendencies to greatly exaggerate ones bank account and skills, but it is certainly a very negative set of habits, very unbecoming.

"I retired with a very nice, very large retirement fund."
"I make more than 350k per year."
"I buy $150 bottles of wine."

And GG's website, well, let me put it this way. You will damn sure know who owns the site and who the man being promoted is. = GG
