What a stupid time to have a degree in International Relations.

@evacide I'm still trying to figure out how my favorite bartender with a Master in international relations pivoted to a career in cybersecurity. However she did it, nice job!

@evacide im sure none of the people pushing the buttons have one

@evacide So many political scientists, war everywhere, so many physicists, oil, coal and gas combustion everywhere, so many theologians, hatred everywhere, so many biologists and physicians, illnesses everywhere. We have the knowledge and the insight, but humanity lacks will and consistency.

@ahalam can't say anything about the relevancy of the degree, but think right now you can go ask a toad in the swamp about the state of international relations in 6 months and get no worse answers than asking an expert in it. Nothing is sacred anymore and common sense is lying in bed with a bad fever.

@evacide much love from here, just survive this period and it will get better. Or some other famous last words :).

@evacide this was peak of humour in Ukraine 2022

[evacide@hachyderm.io]

@gonzo_askold Ukrainian humor is the darkest substance known to man. I respect it.

@evacide I don’t know. Oolon Colluphid did pretty well with a series of “I told ya so” books.

[nathanlonghair@mastodon.world]

@xs4me2 @evacide And it’s failing miserably - yet they keep trying.

@ahalam @evacide It's more about being intricately aware and educated in how profoundly we are fucked.

(And the less than optimistic mental state that comed from this awareness)

@evacide
What's the right time to get it?

[tarah@infosec.exchange]

@evacide you’re telling me.

[porcus@hostux.social]

@evacide I did a screenshot of that one, and sticked it on our wall at the office. As usual, you're spot-on.

@evacide I think otherwise. It's the perfect in these times to have a degree in International Relations, since you can test theories against complex practical oddities. And sure deduce and understand more than we ordinary people can.
