@CaptainBaumi visiting Frankfurt for a day soon...Any ideas on what I should put on my bucket list to-do there?

@Uber_Qatar We are unable to edit the location pin, or change the location pin, because the app was custom coded during the QIFF to reroute all location pins to the HBKU Student Center. The app still shows "Welcome to QIFF". Uber is living in the past it seems.

@Uber_Qatar Residents at Education City Male Student Housing are unable to order Ubers to their location, because the app still thinks that "Qatar International Food Festival" is ongoing, which ended on the 31st of March. It AUTOMATICALLY reroutes the location pin. Fix it.

Educational institutions will start being true to their cause more when they stop trying to act like money-hungry businesses - $54,000 for a year of tuition rofl

If most students are vulnerable to getting myopic and caring only about course grades rather than course learning, there's something wrong with how our education system helps our students visualize their journey

The educational system these days does not reward learning as much as it rewards conformity.

Education is a journey of exploration. Doesn't help when people impose their agendas/doctrines/biases on you.

Education and Enlightenment are independent of each other. Education does help with enlightenment, but I have a hunch that the kind of indoctrination that takes place in western institutes doesn't help much.

I told a European American person who studied on the Pittsburgh main campus about Qatar Foundation's 0-interest loan and the work-to-pay-it-off option, and he was blown out of his mind. Sadly, interest has remained to be the only option for students.

Student loans are the next big thing. 1) Because of the greed of private educational institutes for sure, but also 2) Because of interest.

When businesses don't care about customers, customers take a fall. And when customers take a fall (as they have in every global financial crisis), businesses take a fall too. When will they learn?

Ayn Rand's philosophy continues to fail in many examples - banks are one of them. The NINJA loans reeked of Randism. And failed miserably - because banks were being too selfish.

Banking is good - Banks may not be - conclusion drawn at the end of the guest lecture. I agree.

The western world will shut down if interest is removed from their transactions. Selfishness is so central to the culture that even a parent charges interest upon a loan to his own child. Sad.

Loans are meant to help people, right?
Since when have we started thinking about profit while trying to help people?
The aim of helping people is not profit. PEriod.

Consider a poor man coming to you for a loan. You give it to him on a 15 percent interest rate. If he had the extra money to give you your interest, he wouldn't ask you for a loan to begin with.

Interest is the disease that has made the rich richer and poor poorer and continues to do so everyday but we do not for one second question it, because we all imagine ourselves in the power of the loan giver one day.

#BSE18
While it is true that we all need banks to safeguard our money, banks have caused large amounts of suffering - interest is the name of the disease

I see why CSR departments get so much flak from the other departments...but it is sad.

[OnlyHereFor70332 @ManIsWeak]

#BSE18
CSR is the morality in business? Otherwise it is just Ayn Rand land? Hmm
