ENEB Master Thread

[michaeladsmith2]

You know, these people on here are crazy! In one breath, we spent five years plus questioning the validity and quality of ENEB until people realized that ENEB (based on several US Doctoral Program acceptances and several FCE's accepted ENEB), and now in another breath, people are questioning doctoral programs that accept ENEB! What the hell! Pick a damn side. And stop demonizing people's choices and the personal academic path they choose. ENEB has opened doors for thousands of students all over the world. And several schools worldwide have accepted ENEB as is or for further doctoral studies. 

If you don't like the scenario of us choosing ENEB because you went a different path or spent hundreds of thousands (still paying student debt), that's your problem! Don't disparage others of their joy and happiness in this opportunity for academic achievements.

The ENEB case study offers a valuable lesson on the perils of unwavering adherence to a position. The heated debate has shed light on how believing that ENEB is worthless can lead to one's downfall. Understandably, those shackled by significant debts incurred through traditional avenues may harbor strong emotions. However, it is regrettable that some have allowed those emotions to cloud their judgment and hinder their appreciation for the achievements of others.

The tendency to view someone else's triumph as one's loss exemplifies a scarcity mindset that robs individuals of joy and diminishes their contributions. It is disheartening to witness talented thinkers become inflexible and resistant to fresh ideas when bold and daring risk-takers step forward. We should celebrate and embrace new approaches and perspectives rather than be mired in stifling rigidity that hampers progress and collaboration.

Well said! I couldn't have said it better.

It's the same argument with the "still being worked out" Student Loan Forgiveness Program. So many people are rigid and unsympathetic because they spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on education or paid off their student debts and are mad because Covid19 hit, and they (in the past) weren't afforded the same opportunity. So, in stead of being supportive of any program that helps alleviate debt for those who desperately need it, they feel slighted by the US government or POTUS Biden or the US Congress for trying to assist borrowers impacted by the Pandemic. Very similar emotions that cloud their judgement.
