"what do we do about alienated young men?" i dunno, what do we do about anybody? let them flounder in shit work until they get disabled and die? we don't do anything for anyone. maybe the problem is the same problem that's driven all of us off a cliff and alienated young men are actually just humans

Make no mistake, colleagues: the exclusion of humanities & social science research from national competitive funding could easily happen here in Australia. The signs & actors are already clear. We let it happen at our collective peril.
This is so backward
1. Science is more than just commercialisable widgetry
2. Making progress on our biggest problems (climate change, infectious diseases, misinfo to name a few) will need more collaboration between STEM and hum/social sci not less.

More men need to tell us they've never been a fan of The Beatles. It shows an independence of thought but also profound intellectual insight; a refusal to run with the herd. I especially like to see it in response to someone expressing their love of the group. It's outspoken, contrary and brave.

If generative AI is doing your assignments it should get your grades instead of you and then perhaps more importantly get your job instead of you.

as soon as you're into the finish straight of a project, it's no longer new & you can feel yourself digging for a replacement personality, I love that
