02/26/2024: GET PUNKED, FUCKFACE, I HAVE TENURE!!!!!!!!!!!
Whackjob academics and their crack pot theories are the eternal bane of my existence. I, as a proud Bachelor of the Arts, know how to write to even the most fringe of theories, but I have truly met my match here. I cannot specify as the intimate details of this man’s manifesto are so specific and so asinine that it would blow the lid off my cover in a snap. Just know he is crazy, and on all levels of the conversation and dialogue, I heavily disagree.
It’s not even political in nature (although everything is political if you want to get to intersectionality…) If this was a professor who came out the gates like “I am a federalist and I believe in state’s rights to outlaw the agency of women, gays, and any marginalized racial community!” If I had a professor like that, we could all sit around and nod and agree like yes, it is reasonable that I do not see eye to eye. This guy just has weird opinions. The kind of opinions I feel crazy even explaining that I disagree with them, because why would they EVER come up?
I’ll put it like this: some academics… should not lecture. And some academic ideas, no matter how many citations you use and topics you research, only function in the intellectual sense.
As a side bar, I can’t find a job. I’m getting desperate. While I talk a big game, know that if said whack job academic opened up research assistant positions, I would be the first to apply, resume in the door. Am I an aspiring sellout? Yes. See my post on 02/23 to learn more...
I think I need to accept the fact that I'm jealous. I, lowly student, only wishes I got the major power trip of saying whatever I want, whenever I want, to a captive audience of 60 people desperate for your approval to weasel our way towards an A in this sick, twisted curve system. Dance monkey dance! Play your music and entertain me! If I was a tenured professor with bad takes, I would be a supervillain too. Not enough comic villains are academics. We need more academics in comic books. The true fiends of this world.
