That's reasonable, personally i call upon biology rather than metaphysics. But i believe it directly support your idea.
I think what makes us sometimes too arrogant, morally, is to put to high of a regard for this ideas of consciousness and free will. To the point we stop seeing it as drived by mother nature, as if it was above her.
To be more accurate it's probably more about intelligence, or levels of consciousness. (Because other animals have it too...)
Funny enough i think this moral bias also affect people that supports, respect and love animals too.
Well i haven't seen a study but i don't feel like that's wrong. A lot of people fart without it being smelly, little innocent ones.
Of course we remember the smelly, more numerous, ones that we got when having digestive problem or big number 2.
But i feel like the nice one are way more often, and happen to lots of people. There's even some people that let huge ones without smell, that's always funny.
Sure, most people i know either have parents to help them, including some fund they made them, or get the aides for students (including cheaper and small apartment, help to pay the rent, cheap meal at campus and scholarship). Some have a mix of both like me.
It's often a bit short anyway, it isn't luxurious, but we deal with it, i never met someone that took a loan as a solution though.
It used to be the same but they increased it in 2019. They passed a reform with a lot of changes to the whole education system (including high school which add a lot of changes).
The reform was pretty bad for a lots of reasons.
Should have thought of it, every university went on strikes for it, including mine (I was just on year 1).
They passed it anyway...
So yes now its 2770€ for the first 3y and 3770€ the next 2. Granted that's still cheaper, 15,850€ total but that's only 3 times more expensive, not as crazy.
P.S. Private school can be good especially in some fields, but they're also a bit prestigious too. And 10k is a pretty good approximate i believe.
In France after high school you pay 170€ the first 3 years the 243€ the next two, 100€ more each year if you don't have aides from the government. Some engineering schools (~600€) or private schools are more expensive.
That's a total of 1496€ for a 5y curriculum at most, if you don't have any aides. (810€ for a shorter 3y one)
For reference the monthly minimum wage is 1398.69€ (without tax).
So if you work two months at McDonald's you can literally pay your entire education with enough room to spare if you didn't pass some years.
(Engineering schools is more but it isn't crazy either)
That's without any help, but we have some cheap apartment specifically for students, help to pay the rent. And in addition to this you can get a sizable amount depending on the income of the parents, sometimes enough to live on.
So why in the hell would you pay 50k. That's 33 times as much, guys just come to France, or the EU and your set lol
That's good they'll think it's the norm... And we can seduce their female (if they exist).
