Teddy's Guide to Fresh A Level Graduates

Hello students! Or should I say prospective students, since technically what you've been studying for the past 12 years should not be considered studying, since even a computer could be inputted with that much data nearly instantaneously. And we all know computers are dumb.

Which makes you wonder where those incessant muggers with capabilities that (generously) i refer to as bounded by simple scanf and printf functions in C language. i.e. inputting data and outputting the data with marginal operations in between, perhaps.

Now prepare for your next phase of education. Interestingly phase seems to be an interesting word to use to describe it because if we were to anaylse a simple sine function for example, the phase interestingly changes it completely while at the same time keeping it completely the same. That's similar to the difference in education systems in a way. Completely different, yet completely the same.

Now the question that should be asked primarily is NOT which University to attend. That's easy and obvious - Soft Toy Foundation University will always open its doors to anyone, regardless of blood type (or blood presence). And it has argueably the greatest cotton based mind this world has ever seen.

Thats beside the point, anyway; there would have to be a separate blog for my achievements, and i were to blog about that, there would not be time to progress.

Now there are certain factions of people who believe in the superiority of one field over another - usually convinced in the superiority of their own field. I know many people like that, even under the very roof that I live under. I see many condescending looks thrown at arts-students; in defence of these looks they point at this opinion that they don't study. And at the other extreme, the looks of deridation follow the science-students; perhaps because certain sciences including physics seem to have all but stagnated over the past few years (since my unpublished theory of mesh-string i.e. cotton theory).

But the world is a beautiful mix of these two components. If you dig further down, you get two major components defining this world that we live in - Chaos, and Order.

Chaos and Order are merely two sides of the same coin: neither could possible exist without the other. On one hand you have Chaos; that two seemingly equivalent situations - different only on a nano-scale - can have two immensely different final outcomes. And on the other hand you have Order (or coincidence); that looking at a big enough picture we see how completely random events come together in a predictable manner.

If you pause to think about it, Chaos, in a way, represents the Arts, that perhaps it would be impossible to measure every variable this world offers; and that we should then just appreciate the effects of what we have from those chaotic initial conditions. Then it would follow that Science would represent Order, the belief that ultimately we can take our averages of probality densities and map out the reason for our existence; perhaps even to understand the Order behind the World.

I mentioned earlier - neither could exist without the other. And it would never be the case that one would extinguish the other.

So the question is: Chaos? Or Order?

Which side are you on?
