I love technology. With all my heart. But I don’t think it loves me.
The trees love me. Animals love me. Even if it’s an animal that eats me, it’ll still love me. But I don’t think technology loves me. I think it’s indifferent. And if, one day, technology becomes a mind, I think it’ll love me, but only conditionally.
Academics do love semantics. Peer review is fallacious. Humans see a canvas, paint a picture, and judge the art. The canvas is never met. Too many humans "peer review" their own art, thinking it's someone else's creation. They leave this world, never seeing another canvas nor their own

"Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."

@jeff_in_nola Ah, I agree. Both sides of the argument make sense. I just think that it's a strange decision to prioritize what under 30% of the student body feel is best for them over long-term benefits for the university.
@jeff_in_nola@Kennafaction@WWLTV To come back and experience it as proud alumni. To help the university start something that will increase enrollment, funds, and ultimately save programs. This would have helped overall growth of the university and would be a start of getting us back to where we were pre-Katrina.
