nobody would teach me anything, but philsophy was a thing that didn't require anybody to teach me, particularly. read the stuff... write about the stuff...
i don't know.
you got these people over in English who 10 or 20 years later are still working on stuff they did their PhD on. or not working at all. like... like they haven't read anything since.
whatever it is that got them working has gone away and they just don't do that, anymore.
it just gets to a point where people are all 'rubbish rubbish rubbish' at each other and meaningful activity ceases.
they do pay them.
then, i guess, you go: and what do they do with their money?
i mean... i think they can take uni courses for free? one per semester, or something? they could do a whole degree in 10 years! in something entirely different! in computer science or statistics or....
but they don't.
money seems to be the greatest de-incentiviser of all. give people money and watch them idle their lives away.
i wonder if that is always the case.
money. the great... neutraliser. nuterer. steraliser.
probably it is just the illusion of money.
at hte end of the day it's about workign conditions, i would have thought.
it's funny isn't it how people often choose to pay for living conditions which are not conducive for tehm to work.
i guess they need a lord and master... while beleving themselves to be god.
f*ck knows.
i should just remember '[this city] is sh*t'. that's the received wisdom. training ground for the UK. that's all.
i wonder if i'll get to go to edinburgh one day. the uk... i would like that.
