I’m a veteran professor…and I’ve had it. I have no more filter. I do my best to recognize the motivated students and warn them about all the bullshittery. I show them how to recognize it and I encourage - encourage! - them to resent it. There are still some of us willing to teach hard subjects in blunt and challenging ways and I still gain a lot of satisfaction in helping motivated students navigate their way to a rigorous and honest curriculum. It’s still possible, but I don’t know for how much longer.

Thanks, Peter.
