@michaeloburns hometown seems problematic. is it where you were born? where you've lived the longest? where you spent the most time before turning 18? who decides? is it conferred by a community in the hometown? claimed by the individual? in both cases how, on what criteria by whose authority?
@AngYu_soci@KhoaVuUmn yeah, it seems a little silly for the emeritus to put his hat in the ring for a fellowship anyway. Like when was the last time fukuyama, mershiemer or waltz "applied" for anything. They speak and it is the gospel of citation
@Scrubbums @SaffronOlive harsh take given the value those sets have with players. I'd rather have the rights to something that came out of my own pen then an up front number I regret later. Ask the south park guys if they wish they'd taken the up front money for their digital streaming rights
