The state of academia is bad. Really bad. My son, currently finishing his last two years of college on the GI Bill, had to sit through a lecture given by a professor who wept, apologizing for the fact that his grandfather who fought in WWII hadn't been killed and that his uncle, who served in Vietnam also survived. The professor then enlightened the class by declaring that military service automatically made you evil. 😠

I find it perfectly believable that a person this stupid could be an academic.

WATCH: "Professor Jiang" explains that we could fix poverty by printing infinite money but we don't because we want people to be poor. I am not joking.

@jhendersonYT Checks out.

I choose to believe he moved there to be close to Serpent Mound.

So I actually teach in nearby county and I absolutely must know the story behind how Afroman came to live in Adams County in rural southern Ohio.

I've had a project in the works for a bit now. Today I'm launching a new YouTube channel.
The channel is High Low Brow. Its name comes from literary critic William Morris, who used the term to describe *my* fiction (I'm not saying he coined the term for me, I'm saying this is where I first heard it). It means popular art that low brow in form, e.g. genre fiction, but contains elevating elements.
I've heard Neal Stephenson describe novels in this space as rollicking adventure tales that also contain big ideas.
So on High Low Brow, I'll be talking about the books, music, TV shows, graphic novels, and visual art that I like. I'll interview people who make that art and people who like.
High Low Brow. Because culture matters, and I also want to have fun.

@feralmonkey4 That sounds about my speed, tbh.

@DavidJohnButler Done of course I could sit and listen to you and Mike Day read the dictionary as long as you had discussions about what you were reading

@RDPaolinelli Wonderful!

@DavidJohnButler Well, I'm pretty sure you know of four authors from Tuscany Bay Books that would love to chat with you whenever you like...

@TFletcherDesign Thank you!

@plasmarob Nah, I have a law degree. But yeah, we care too much about credentials.
Mind you, Europe is worse. No offense, European friends. But Italians put their professional qualifications on their doorbells.

@DavidJohnButler I admire that iirc you have a doctorate but that it's not in your name or bio
People don't need to know

@StrongJarom Thank you!

@josephpmbrtn @Lovemyproxy He's a good guy. He tolerates me beyond my merits.

This is an insta-subscribe for me for lots of reasons. One, I like Dave. Two, that's what I love to read and what I love to write. Three on, life is short; stay curious.
