Your musings on academic brain rot and how being hyper-specialized in a field, and not engaging enough with the outside world made me think of a strange interaction I had at university, years ago. I asked this person who was pursuing a PhD in a narrow branch of engineering what they were writing their thesis on, only to be given a long and incomprehensible (at least to me, a Humanities student) reply, and a smirk of "you must think I'm so smart." Needless to say, I didn't think they were smart, I thought they cared more about *looking* smart than actually conveying a clear thought. Unless I understand what the hell you study, I can't judge whether that's "cool" or not.
You might think it unfortunate but I don't really have a specific workplace. I'd do my work on the dining table even. I know it's not really that healthy but I guess I'm gonna invest in a good table the next time I think of buying a shi- ton of books. Btw, loved the ideas here.
When I want to come back to your posts but cannot bc I’m not subscribed 😂😭🫡 pains of student life (also I’m from another country whose dollar value is v high) (please let me lament about this without seeming rude)
Hey its me again, da boss nigga. Just wanted to ask you why you insist on speaking with a shitty American accent when your Ching-Ping/Australian sleeper agent accent would sound much more authentic. Come on dude, get a grip.

I think a great deal of good work has been done at dining room and kitchen tables.
