As a professor, my most controversial position was that I didn't care at all about plagiarism. a) they at least found some material b) it was probably better written than most of what I received c) privileging "originality" is a very bougie and culturally insensitive position

"Plagiarism" in this culture's current sense of the term, I mean. So many others wouldn't have recognized it as such. Privileging "ownership of ideas" the way we do now is truly fascinating

So many textbooks are identical; isn’t this plagiarism? A privileged kind of plagiarism?

Absolutely right. I wrote (plagiarized) some of that dreary content in my younger days, and used other textbooks as my reference
