@augierakow @John_Attridge I don't think it's a question of quality, but of knowledge. To understand a thinker, whether one agrees with that thinker or not, requires doing the actual reading. Maybe those who don't have more influence, but then it's a question of goals.

@CEBowenJr But we can have both surely.

@John_Attridge *The very possibility of indoctrination is inversely correlated with functional literacy. The problem is that students are not reading and indeed cannot read. And neither can their professors.

[Kyle Link @KyleDLink]

I respectfully disagree: if everybody read Foucault, we would be better off (not necessarily because he is correct). What students are being indoctrinated in are the ideas of third-rate pseudo-radical scammer careerists who cite Foucault and maybe assign him as a reading. But he is not even read since reading itself has become practically obsolete in the mainstream.

I agree. So much fun. Joyce was the only author to write in dialect convincingly because he knew that dialect was a fiction and thus created his own universal dialect that any reader is free to switch in and out of, depending on whether she decides to read aloud or silently. Almost like the oral law and the written law, there is the oral Wake and the written Wake.

@xlorentzen @pourfairelevide It is insane to be a fan of 'Street Legal'.

Without irony: this seems like a good way for humanist or literary intellectuals to actually make money these days. Find a finance bro. Modern patronage.

I’m obsessed with “read classic books” (who cares which) as basically a health optimization trend

@IbnKulthum I never understood this "avoid trying to look like a tourist" idea when that is in fact what some people are.

@TweetsA91248 @RagnarokNation @grok Might as well be. Too much life to live to get too caught up in podcastland.

[Kyle Link @KyleDLink]

@grok @RagnarokNation @grok is this a podcast? Plain old youtube or another platform? What is the business model?
