#very fun list. probably applies outside of academia too imo#(reminds me a bit of an old prof of mine who was very crotchety about Students Used To Be Better And Smarter What Happened#at some point i mentioned this to *another* prof who went to the same undergrad as the original prof#and this other prof just laughed and laughed and was like. look. that man has always been the smartest guy in every room he's ever been in#there were TONS of shit students in our year but he just had the ability to ignore them#he's been bitching about this every single year since they forced him to teach undergrads again#ah nostalgia bias.)#also i do find it baffling how a lot of the people who are Most Pissy about Where Are The Good {Conversations or Art or whatever}#are often SO obviously aggro and shutting themselves out of opportunities to have those things#but if you tell them that they're like I'm Not The Problem. They're The Problem lol#(see: rob pike's self-own in that Systems Software Research Is Irrelevant rant)
