Random thought:

You're a professor.

Instead of giving tests, you give team projects.

Teams are anywhere from 2 to 5 people.

At the beginning they're picked randomly, so that everyone in the class has experience working with everyone else.

At the end of each project, you anonymously ask each team member about every one of their team mates - particularly, would you like to work with this person in the future.

After everyone has some experience with each other, team selection is based on approval. You work with the people you want to work with and who want to work with you.

Final grade is based on the grades of the projects you worked on MULTIPLIED BY your approval rating by your partners in the project.

You cannot cheat on approvals because if you approve people who actually are not helpful, you will end up working with them again (!)

@cjd Now that's how you align incentives.

Unfortunately it couldn't work in America bc disparate impact to underprivileged classes etc etc

@pepsi_man @cjd And the whole school system has basically been designed around competitive compliance.

Not in public universities, but private schools are generally allowed to do whatever they want.

But lets suppose its actually a real problem... Well, you have the building which is in the US and the guardian of the students is there. But the Education Provider is my company based in France. The grades and the certificate are on that company's letterhead... So if you wanna sue, you need to get it past a French judge.

You can easily see how this can be made intractable to such attacks.

That's the lesson we're going to learn one way or another. All the corpo shenanigans (na na you can't touch me bc intricately structured international shell companies) can also shield say, racially aware revolutionaries.

What if the slut on the team realized that blowjobs = approvals?

This is just taking corporate performance management and putting it in the classroom. Could work and make it cutthroat, would also need to ensure competency of all members as in team projects you'll get the sideline cheerleaders.

Then everyone would bang the slut and bear her share of the burden like any civilization.

I kind of don't even mind that. It's like saying in a warrior tribe, what's the role of the Shaman?

If the tribe is successful, I kind of don't even care.

Now I said teams are anywhere from 2 to 5 people.

So that means if you like working with her, you also like working with her in a group of two. Willing to do twice the workload with empty balls? That is still technically a group project.

And I believe that helping men and women learn how to collaborate together effectively is a very very high value skill that every school should be teaching.

@cjd this would no doubt give friend groups an unfair advantage over loners

Again. Like every other civilization.

@cjd @Red_Hat @pepsi_man The best role of women in the work place is moral support. Every now and then we get a cute young new secretary at work and her mere presence brightens the day. They don't have to be sluts to get pulled forward by men. Just be pretty, pleasant to be around, and feed me.

If you've got a friend group, you can give each other good marks all of the time - and you'll be together most of the time - but then you still have to deliver results.

If your project grade is a zero, you can give each other as much approval as you want but it's all multiplied by zero.

If the loner is uniquely capable of delivering project results - the group that's not stupid is going to take him in and make a place for him, because that raises their project and raises their scores.

@cjd sure, but a mid group will get higher ratings than a mid loner

As it should be. Collaboration is a really important skill.

Do you have any idea how fucking retarded the power-elites are? Literally the only thing they know how to do is effectively coordinate a conspiracy with one another. Other than that they are useless. And yet they rule the world.

You're damned right I'm gonna give points for being a group.
