- ZIZEK: that AI will be the death of learning & so on; to this, I say NO! My student brings me their essay, which has been written by AI, & I plug it into my grading AI, & we are free! While the 'learning' happens, our superego satisfied, we are free now to learn whatever we want

One thing that almost all bad poems have in common: they read like prose arbitrarily chopped up into pointless linebreaks - very sad feeling to find a brilliant dissertation online and, upon googling the author to see what they've been up to since, discover that they never found a permanent position in academia and have since left the field
- Last night, we were reading the First Critique and my 4 y/o turned to me and said “he’s worked out a schematic of space via geometry but has failed to do so with respect to time. Perhaps the missing schematization of time was what compelled Heidegger to write B&T in 1927”
