A quick definition of anarchy:

Anarchy means there is no government or rules. Some people believe that everyone should be able to make their own choices without anyone telling them what to do. This is called anarchism. However, some people use violence to try to get rid of the government, which is called criminal anarchy. Laws exist to prevent people from inciting violence or trying to overthrow the government by force.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Anarchy refers to the absence of government and lawlessness. It is also a sociopolitical theory that believes the only legitimate form of government is one where individuals govern themselves voluntarily, without any collective power structure enforcing compliance with social order.

Examples: Criminal anarchy is a doctrine that advocates for the overthrow of organized government by force or violence, such as assassinating a head of government or committing other unlawful acts. Laws in most states limit speech that incites criminal anarchy. However, these laws do not apply to abstract philosophical expressions or predictions protected by the First and Fourteenth Amendments. Criminal-anarchy statutes apply only to speech that is calculated to induce forceful and violent activity, such as attempts to incite people to riot or generate some "clear and present danger" that the advocated violent overthrow may be attempted or accomplished.

Explanation: Anarchy is a state of disorder and chaos that arises when there is no government or law to maintain order. The sociopolitical theory of anarchy believes that individuals should govern themselves voluntarily, without any external force or power structure. Criminal anarchy, on the other hand, advocates for the violent overthrow of organized government. The examples illustrate how laws limit speech that incites criminal anarchy and how criminal-anarchy statutes apply only to speech that is calculated to induce forceful and violent activity.

Quentin Tarantino is interested in watching somebody’s ear getting cut off; David Lynch is interested in the ear.
18:03
Quentin Tarantino can't resist putting a gay scene with a black guy participating in the gay act in his movies.
18:05
David Lynch is just gay.
18:18
Lynch is more in touch with his unconscious/dream state than the average person
18:42
Probably. I just dont know. All I know is he did a good job with Dune.
18:45
You should watch Blue Velvet
18:46
How’s your LSAT studying been going?
18:49
It is good. I have about two more weeks and I broke the 90 level on LSAT Demon which is good last night. My goal is 95 so I can probably get it before I test. It is scaled our of 100. This is for LR. My RC is below that but I know the more I get better at MBT questions the better my RC becomes.
18:50
I watched the trailer for that movie. The run time is 2 hours. May watch it on 2x the speed. Just watched se7en and thats like as graphic as I get so I kinda need a break from weird bodyhorror stuff. The sloth guy in that movie scared me.
18:51
I do like psychological horror though.
18:53
Oh jesus don’t watch the movie at all if you’re gonna watch it on 2x speed
18:54
I have never used lsat demon; how do their levels relate to actual lsat scoring?
18:56
kinda go in 20 point intervals. 20 points if you have mastered lvl 1 difficulty questions, 100 points if you have mastered lvl 5.
18:56
Getting 100 points is incredibly difficult though. anything baout 95 is pushing the 175-180 range. 90-95 is like 170-174 or so. etc.
18:56
yeah but if you’re getting a 95 on all sections what LSAT score is that? how is that calculated?
18:56
oh okay
18:57
so 100 would be a 180?
18:57
Yeah, 100 is like you would get a 180 and there's nothing more to teach you. I have only seen someone with a 100 like 2/3 times.
18:57
are you taking practice tests that are being scored though?
18:57
or just drills
18:57
Yep, they get factored into it.
18:58
I do drilling essentially every day. A timed section every 3, and a test every 2 weeks.

re: WashU's URM lsat differential - fair to chalk that up to LSAT redaction weirdness messing w the scale or are they generally starved for URMs

And an (albeit negligible) inverse URM GPA differential
Just found out LSAC gpa is different from offical from undergrad, went from 3.0 on 4.0 scale to 2.67... Guess I'm a super splitter rather than a splitter
