"You sound to me as though you don't believe in free will," said Billy Pilgrim. "If I hadn't spent so much time studying Earthlings," said the Tralfamadorian, "I wouldn't have any idea what was meant by free will. I've visited 31 inhabited planets in the universe...Only on Earth is there any talk of free will." -- K. Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five

On the Academy

Am I an Academic groupie? It's entirely possible. They know so much! They have so many opinions and can recommend good books! Maybe it has something to do with the lives they get to lead: traveling, reading, writing, teaching. Of course, I have realized that I don't have to simply idolize the professors, I can actually become one myself. Well, maybe. We'll see how that process goes. What will life be like if I don't have to worry about GRE vocabulary and language requirements? Maybe I will just figure out how to be a crazy hermit dissident. I'm open to suggestions, if anyone knows that best way to achieve mad genius status. Maybe I should start by writing some sort of manifesto. Stay tuned!
