Thought I'd recommend this anime, especially since so many here are making the annual fall migration to the universities. Basically, the series is a made up of a few OAVs (three or four), with stories that centre around one person's experience in residence at "Greenwood" school. I'm afraid I can't give out more details since I saw about five years ago. Oh yeah, it's really funny, especially the student film episode
Anyone else here seen it?
The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge
