learn to shut (the fuck) up-institutions

Another (retrograde) definition for educational institutions in the internet age, based on the fact that one has to shut up and listen, and prove or disprove things in the best possible way, as opposed to the internet where everyone can just shout out everything they want or even force themselves on random strangers.
Marked by a contrast of a true understanding of relativism and absolutism as opposed to the internet, where every relative, negligible thing or context is also given full absolute status.
