This is why west is so retarded compared to east.
They teach children to hold their ego.

>>8692985
I once got a 90% (A starts at 91%) so I negotiated with the professor to get that extra point.

It was my first test ever at university and I didn't know what to do. I never knew that getting less than an A was possible so I thought he had made a mistake. And he kinda did, so I got my point back.

After that I never did it again as I just started getting As always.

>A starts at 91%
some of the best bait ive seen on this board

>>8693511
This is so sadly true. I don't know about west vs east but one sure thing is that we're brought up in a way that makes in near impossible to doubt ourselves.

>>8693549
Not bait.

A starts at 91%
B starts at 81%
C starts at 71%
D starts at 61%
Anything below is F.

>>8693554
You can see this in videos and these social media posts.
"This is problem for 5 year olds in China" etc.
People start to think that its going be easy because they arent 5yo, their ego is telling them that.
Then there is one sneaky trick in that problem.
And you wont notice it, because your ego distracted you.
Then you proceed to talk shit because you arent wrong, the problem is.

>>8693556
Why isn't there any E grade? Just because F is for "failure"? They should put it just to keep the order.

>>8693511
Life teaches everyone, regardless of culture, to hold their ego. If you haven't learned that, you're stupid.

>>8693582
Probably because there is no point.

A gives 3 points, B gives 2 points, C gives 1 point, D gives 0 points but with special permission it can count as a pass, F gives 0 points and under no circumstance can count as a pass.

If you were to add an E between D and F it would be pointless, unless you came up with a new rule.

Like, if you get an E you get 0 points, but if you suck my dick then it counts as a pass. Something like that.

>Life teaches everyone, regardless of culture, to hold their ego.
Anything to back this up ? I dont agree with you. Our liberal culture gives trophies to everyone. And tells you to be proud for being mentaly retarded.

>>8693591
>add an E between D and F it would be pointless
Thast not what he asked.
He is saying it should be like this
A B C D E
not
A B C D F
>>8693582
>Just because F is for "failure"?
Yes.
and E is for Excellent

>>8693556
>A
>91%
???
y tho

If you are on /sci/ you probably are slightly above average and have been rewarded your entire life for it, to the point where you even considered the fact that you are a genius. However, at some point you must have got a bad grade and/or found someone who is clearly smarter than you. At that point you learned to hold your ego.

>>8693630
I said it should be A B C D E F not A B C D F or A B C D E either.

>>8693621
Also,
>Our liberal culture gives trophies to everyone.
That's only true in America. I for one live in a third world shithole where people tend to reward the losers (as if every single loser is going to be a winner some day) and to think of winners as cheaters. That's probably why we are behind in everything.

I was able to negotiate the score up. Kek

>If you are on /sci/ you probably are slightly above average
Not really, this is still anime imageboard full of cute people.
>someone who is clearly smarter than you
But we all are equal in west anon.

>>8693633
Not him but, what do you mean by "hold your ego"

To just keep your mouth shut when you think youre superior?

>>8693654
>you think youre superior?
Not him but,
Not only holding your mouth, but not thinking so. This illusion can fuck you up in certain situantions because it consume your other powers.

>>8693511
You're in a real fucking shock if you move to the """east""" (I presume you mean the orient) you dumb pseud.

>>8693621
You missed the point. The CULTURE promotes ego, but LIFE destroys egoism despite culture.

>>8693511
Pretty sure the bigger egoist is the one who wears glasses to appear smart and negotiates grades despite being wrong.

>>8693724
They only seek attention, thats different.
>>8693719
Culture and "life" go hand in hand anon.
>>8693703
Indeed, people work harder and are smarter.

This pretty much describes me in a nutshell.

>They only seek attention, thats different.
I disagree. Outside of a few noble exceptions, seeking attention is practically synonymous with egoism.
