But what about the “become a professor” life script? Even during the long, palmy Boomer afternoon, people knew that professors were poor, didn’t they?<br /><br />Come to that, what valuable skills do academics have, exactly? It’s true that many academics have deep insight into interdisciplinary cultural analysis, but it’s not clear who’s going to pay for that or why. Essentially, in becoming an academic, you are betting that something will turn up, because society is morally obligated to pay for academics.<br /><br />I don’t want to make too much fun of this–this is a type of decision-making that made some kind of sense in a simpler world. In the brief interval of, say, 1950-1975, ratfacing somewhat receded and people could rely on their intuitions of “decency” and “propriety” as genuinely effective heuristics for making life decisions. There’s a sense in which it’s tragic that this came to an end; there’s a certain nobility to an urbanizing population working out its small-town, stiff-necked Protestant values and creating vast quantities of positive externalities for all to share and enjoy.<br /><br />That said, however, I absolutely do want to make fun of various rats manqués who expected social justice sinecures and are instead finding out that universities are run by people who “Think Different“, in the sense that they care very much about posturing as humanitarians and giving their customers curated experiences while ruthlessly exploiting workers, business partners and even their own families.<br /><br />Therefore, let’s all laugh heartily at the miserable lives of failure facing the people whose job market looks like this:<br /><br />University of Illinois-Chicago.<br />Visiting Lecturer-German Basic Language Program Director for AY 2017-2018.<br /><br />The Director will coordinate 14 sections in the blended basic German language sequence (first through fourth semester), supervise and train about 10 teaching assistants, teach three advanced language and culture courses, and participate in departmental events, such as the High School Day.<br /><br />Qualifications: Candidates must be ABD (PhD preferred), have a strong teaching record, and have a background in Second Language Acquisition or a related field. Native or near-native competency in German is required. Preference will be given to candidates with experience in language program direction, materials development, and computer-mediated learning.<br /><br />Currently this is a 67% position for $28.000 and benefits are prorated.<br />Reminder: this is around 35% of what a McDonalds manager makes in Chicago. At least it’s slightly more than welfare–although after student loans, it’s probably a wash. No wonder revolution is so much on the academic mind. #FightForFifteen!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-19364887259297505962017-09-21T05:27:00.735-04:002017-09-21T05:27:00.735-04:00Trump is more unpopular than ever, his lies are be...Trump is more unpopular than ever, his lies are being exposed daily, his key initiatives collapsed or faltering. <br /><br />Clearly a momemnt of utter despair for Russian trolls like 'Mao'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-9972169183862652742017-09-20T21:54:28.266-04:002017-09-20T21:54:28.266-04:00Snakes are known for wisdom too.

Lots of them were Bernie and Stein supporters and most probably didn't vote. Also, a bunch of them are themselves minorities. If you controlled statistically for minority status across the two parties, the % expressing racist attitudes might be equal. That would make all white people racist. Interesting idea.<br /><br />It makes more sense to assert Trump supporters are racist when you see through your own eyes Trump supporters wearing racist t-shirts, chanting racist slogans, behaving in hostile ways toward others (incited by Trump) and even acting aggressively toward protesters in the parking lots. This isn't a reality show -- it is reality. Trump's supporters behave in deplorable ways, in public, for everyone to see. This is not scripted TV. <br /><br />It may be that many people regard all TV as unreal, but a bunch of white supremacists found out otherwise when they were identified and arrested based on photos of their behavior during their so-called march.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-34149955824731692142017-09-20T17:41:07.564-04:002017-09-20T17:41:07.564-04:00It doesn't make sense to assert Trump supporte...It doesn't make sense to assert Trump supporters are racists based on something one saw on TV.

The same question illustrates that a third of Democrats are deplorable also. It illustrates an aspect of <i>liberal</i> racism. It's just interesting. You think it's confirmation bias or what? Seeking backup for her claim, she cited a survey question that paints her supporters in almost as bad a light. But it's true that no one in the Dem camp really looks at the stats. Dems see the survey question and the answer from the Republicans and have their "reality". And Republicans never even see the study unless someone shows them it with the answers from the Dems which confirms their bias that we are idiots. <br /><br />Anyway, generalizing about a broad group of people is almost always unwise as we all know.

If you ask "I am a human being." yes/no, you will get some people saying no. <br /><br />Hillary didn't say all Trump supporters were deplorable or all Republicans. And this survey wasn't given to Trump supporters at all. It just shows that there are more people willing to endorse racist statements among Republicans than Democrats. But Hillary's point wasn't about Republicans. It was about Trump supporters, and it was about being deplorable, something she went on to define more specifically than this single question does.<br /><br />I don't have to defend her.
