"To me, much of Academe is a lot of smart and semi-smart people jacking off smaller and smaller butterflies to win acclaim from smaller and smaller populations of other people who are preoccupied with jacking off butterflies. Or counting the number of angels dancing on the head of a pin, if you prefer. The whole environment invites and honors poseurs and bullshit artists, IMO. Okay if that's what floats your boat, but me, I just don't see the point. Life's too fucking short."
