with my school teachers it was like “omg they’re so cool i wanna be their friend!” but with university lecturers it’s like “they’re endearing and i love them like cats but are they okay because i think they know too much about 18th century german literature to survive in the world”
what, you can’t know who friedrich schiller is and also change a tire?
literally no
this would have worked better if I personally knew how to change a tire
I theoretically know how to change a tire!…..my physical form kinda of means that would…probably not be a thing I could actually do…(My parents are of the firm belief that if you can drive you should also at least know the basics of taking care of your vehicle….I can not actually drive yet but hey I know the basics of taking care of a vehicle! I can talk someone through changing their tire!)but I know how!….and probably know way too much about such things as medieval fashion….costuming…
Listen as an academic I can tell you that academics don’t know how to exist in the world. The more peer reviewed articles they publish, the less they know about how the actual world functions.
Listen as a member of staff at a college and a former secretary in a registrar’s office, I can tell you that academics as a group do not know jack shit about how the world works. i love them dearly, don’t get me wrong – some of my very best stories are about Shit My Professors Said/Did, but they – do not know how to exist in the world. At all. Wrap them up in blankets and make sure they have tea/coffee and do not let them out.
