So in one sense...

This is, it still has to plug in, like the output of this has to be formatted in a GPA system.

But also to the degree that I was capable, I could give students some degree of design control.

Over the exact criteria for scoring in the class.

And they did something super interesting with it.

They actually ended up turning a lot more of the grades, not about the final output, but about a kind of in-class set of workshops that we built together in which they had to construct in-groups analyses and argue it out.

And it worked.

But it was a reformulation of the scoring system in terms and for goals that we all agreed on together.

And it wasn't me just telling them what to do.

And that kind of thing is possible.

I'm not sure it's possible at the largest scale, but it's possible for some of us.

This is an amazing question.

Let me give you like four answers.

Fantastic.

Increasingly elaborately weird.

Okay.

So...

You're picking up on a real thread, but it's a thread that it's not just Nietzsche.

It's a whole bunch of people.

It's like Nietzsche and Sartre and Dubois and Heidegger and Foucault.
