Professors go batty too, perhaps more often than other people, although owing to their profession, their madness is less often remarked.

For that fine madness still he did retain / Which rightly should possess a poet's brain.

It should be obvious but I’ve never met anyone that is able to perceive incompetent managers and lack of corporate integrity as the main causes for incompetent workers and poor results in productivity. And by the way, the exact same principles apply to Universities, but I've also never met students capable of questioning their teachers as they should, or teachers that aren't afraid to be questioned regarding their own integrity. It's really easy to talk bullshit in a classroom using social status, certificates and books as backbone for credibility but hard to face accountability for the words one vomits out of his brain without ever trying to digest them with a stomach for confrontation with realism. If anything useful I learned in college, as both student and lecturer, is that my teachers and coworkers were a bunch of arrogant cocksuckers feeding on the illusion that their reputation makes them who they are. Their self-delusion makes them pathetic. And the only thing they ever produced were pathetic students.

As a matter of fact I had a terribly traumatic childhood. But afterward I sort of reraised myself.

You are talking about people on death's door.

People get pissed off when you get successful. I was with someone last night who opened a hotel in Las Vegas, and he gets 100 complaints a day.
