Of course, they will. Academia has been around for over 2000 years, universities for over 1000 (Islamic world) and a little under 1000 (Europe), and for round about 200 years in its modern form. I will make a bet: the occupation “substacker” will vanish before “professor.”

@eagletwotwenty @BachmannRudi Prestige granting and gatekeeping. Both things that will endure

@TheRedHood200 @LeesiBB It is really good

@AVARY I hope he's doing a little performance artistry here

@AltCulture A good lesson for a little kid. None of you has proved yourself yet.

@bghorror It was Good.

@zuki_2024 tiny wittle wegs on him

The idea that your mind is a series of rooms goes back to the Greek memory palace. You could wander them at will. The "backroom" horror-fying of the idea is interesting.

@TheMindScourge Yeah but the de-skilling effect has been real since Plato berated writing, and we do rely on those machines now. When the machine stops . . .

@auyonomous The computer science profs at my uni are ironically not thrilled about the "coding agents" thing either. Some are asking students to write code by hand or on white board, for tests.

@AVARY His foundation is making the move, not Wim himself, who appears to not entirely agree with the move.

@zach_vasquez @auteurtheory__ @intothecrevasse Malick went to AFI as well. Nolan went to UCL and majored in English but is on record that he chose UCL so he could use its film program's equipment.

@jacobkleinman Didn't the accounting students who made it turn down an offer from Cartoon Network back in the day? They wanted to keep it pure.

@markgadala Every. Single Time.

@pixsym @hthieblot How did I have to scroll so far down before someone posted Homestar?!?

[Seth Largo @SethLargo]

@robertlasagna1 You'd need a 40 year old for writing a good narrative on that theme, too.

[Seth Largo @SethLargo]

@akoustov Yes.

@Empty_America I would take it a step further and note that the only films that have attempted to involve phone life are horror films.

@PaulSkallas @whim_sy_ My ex will never leave SF. She struggles so badly that at times she will just live in a hostel between jobs. I will admit it gave her an "aura" among her friends who never left suburban LA. But that aura seems to have a sell-by date of 37.

@politicalmath The gate-kept exams that allow one to become a teacher, a nurse, an engineer, an accountant, etc., aren't going anywhere. Until 18 year olds can en masse pass those exams without at least some university preparation, universities aren't going anywhere.
