A lot of times the problem I had was that I didn’t sufficiently understand something from a week or two ago. So to clear up my confusion, the teacher would have had to stop the class and let me work through a couple examples of previous work till I understood it. (yes I’d study between classes too.)

since they are by definition far beyond our technology,
There’s always a scenario like “District 9”, which involves a spaceship full of uneducated workers in a ship whose technology they don’t understand.
Have you shown your nephew one of the animated Robocop series yet?
You may be thinking of 'Pataphysics:
the science of that which is superinduced upon metaphysics, whether within or beyond the latter’s limitations, extending as far beyond metaphysics as the latter extends beyond physics
Surrealism is always antifascist.
I dunno. Doublethink is pretty surreal, but it supports fascism. If you’re just talking about art, I think you could make the case that the Italian Futurists were at least Surrealist-adjacent, and some of them supported fascism.
my details … which I may have to recount for them.
That part isn’t so bad. You should have a set of work stories about how awesome you are, that you make sure to tell them. (i.e. the project you single-handedly saved, the problem coworker you were able to get along with, the impossible deadline you met, etc.) Then it’s just a matter of figuring out which story to start off with, and ideally it turns into a conversation. “We were using XYZ system on ABC machines, you do that here too?” “Oh yeah that system sucks, one time…” etc.
A man traveling across a field encountered a tiger. He fled, the tiger after him. Coming to a precipice, he caught hold of the root of a wild vine and swung himself down over the edge. The tiger sniffed at him from above. Trembling, the man looked down to where, far below, another tiger was waiting to eat him. Only the vine sustained him.
Two mice, one white and one black, little by little started to gnaw away the vine. The man saw a luscious strawberry near him. Grasping the vine with one hand, he plucked the strawberry with the other. How sweet it tasted!

Proof that the Akira slide is not learned, but a skill from birth.
The change in style is because the teacher was in “getting hip with the kids” mode.

It’s a trick to get us to send troops and a McDonald’s there, and then they laugh while they watch us struggle in the sea.
If you fix it, please turn it into “…no one can hear you green.”
They’re both part of the nanobility.
You’re not a brain thing. You’re a process that is running on the brain thing.
Chicken? That’s basically health food.
