Despite the collapse of the academic career, people still want to be professors—but being a professor seems to require pretending to not want anything at all.

I love it when excellent magazines decide that their issue theme is going to be putting my friends on the cover

The university often thinks of itself as a defender of Enlightenment values against a rising tide of misinformation. That may be exactly the wrong lesson to draw from its history, argues @bensbernard in this remarkable essay:

UC Berkeley has a new policy for alumni where if your Berkeley account has over 5GB stored in it, on Sept 17, they will just delete your whole account. Can you pay for more storage? No.

this is the wrong pitch. the value of the humanities is not that they teach a skillset but that they deal with the most fundamental questions of human living. the ends of our action, our relationship to our society, and our self-understanding are questions for every person
If you ask : what is the value of the humanities? I would say that it teaches you to read with acuity, to analyse wild claims, to argue responsibly to questions to which there are no right answers. Do we need the humanities? Let’s hear it for yes!!!
