    One reason I am so openly partisan these days is that I don't think Trump supporters actually process in this "least worst" way. Their profile (people who never left hometown, live in homogeneous neighborhoods, have contempt for college) does not inspire confidence.

        in this bubble it's about actually-existing college falling short of an ideal, rather than contempt for scholarship itself

        There's a persuasive argument to be made for research academics as a place for specialists to try wild-ass shit, fail cheaply and quickly, and thus expand the envelope That's not how research actually works, though

        Getting a PhD, failing out of the job market, and staring down decades of foregone income AUC was somehow less effective at making me contemptuous of college than trying to hire software developers

        I'm coming around on College. Things I'm doing in class finally feel applicable to things I'm actually doing in my projects. It took a lot of bullshit to get here though.
