I think you dropped your tinfoil hat bro.

The only thing formal education will really teach you is work habits and how to find quality information. Bachelor's and Master's are not meant to teach you "everything" about anything, they are meant to teach you the bare minimum required to do your job. PhDs are about research (as long as someone is willing to pay for it of course) and thus navigating budgets and politics. Degrees are completely instrumental: Tools to get the job you want and make more money. Learning is optional imo, I've seen plenty of people get to the end of their degrees having learned very little.

If you want to learn, learn. But be aware that there is no "end" to learning, and no one has the capital T Truth.

You can always just keep learning if you want, and school is part of that, but a small one, they are means of learning, a path, not the end.

I mean yeah... You have to use different words if you are communicating different information. Lol.

You are "allowed" to do whatever you want. People here are telling you that what you are asking kinda doesn't make sense, and seems like you did no research on your own. (Weird, considering you say you love learning)

Going for PhD is not about learning, it's a career move, to move into research or a specialized field. If you are not trying to do either, you don't need to formally go for a PhD. No one is telling you what you can and can not learn, they are telling you you don't seem to understand what you are asking.

And put EFFORT into it? Fuck no.

You don't. You do your job and go home. Job is there to make money, if you want friends or fairness, look for that outside work.

I think you mean are-wolves.

Yeah they had some leftover from the vampire times.

Can't have forest fires, if you have no forests. tapstemple.meme

Again, this is only true if you know nothing about Spanish. Saying "Soy una persona latina" says nothing about the gender of the speaker. Males, females and enbys are "personas latinas". So no, you don't need to assign yourself a gender to speak.

My point was: It's an ignorant joke.

You are correct but missing a key point: Language is indeed made up, but it works because we agree on how those made up bits are meant to be used. That's why there have dictionaries and we are taught languages in school. So yeah, you can use any sound and word you like to communicate, but that doesn't change the fact that the noises you are making are not "real" (as in with a communally agreed meaning).

Latines, can't be conjugated either, the problem is Spanish requires gender and number to match in each element of a sentence. Pretending to use "latine or latinx" ignores the fact of what comes after or before.

Take the sentence: "Los latinos son revolucionarios." (Latinos are revolutionaries.)

Let's try with "latines": "Los latines son revolucionarios."

This sentence is grammatically incorrect, gender and number between adjective, articles and nouns do not match. Do we make up new words? A new way of conjugating? Replace all terminations of all words with gender neutral ones?

How about just realizing that no one would assume you are talking only about males, unless you explicitly stated: "Los hombres latinos son revolucionarios." (Latino men are revolutionaries.) Notice how the same is true for English?

The point is Spanish does not need a neutral gender. Partly because it does have one, but it's only used for some objects and adjectives. "Este cuadro captura lo ominoso que vio en su pesadilla." (This painting captures the ominous thing they saw in their nightmare.)

"Ominous" in this sentence is being conjugated in neutral form, and using a tacit subject leaves the gender of the painter completely unmentioned.

I don't doubt there are people who use latinx and latine, my point is, most of the time that's a sign of ignorance and of not having done due dilligence. Token inclusion.
