Episode notes

The point is that your ability to teach students oes not effect how you're going to get hired at one of these, like harvard, princeton, calte kind of places. They just don't care at all. And when they say they are, that teaching is very important to them, they're just lying. It's just false. There are other universities, other ar a colleges and so forth, where teaching students isthe point. But there the teaching of students is just an afterthought. That's just what a place like harvard is about.

Welcome to the November 2021 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). I take the large number of questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable size — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
