Navigating relationships and intellectual engagement

Sometimes, if an offering is not accepted, it may be necessary to offer it elsewhere or to walk away. It is essential to recognize when one is in a pathologically harmful relationship and to understand that it is not one's obligation to be dragged down by someone else. Engaging in meaningful intellectual dialogue can be challenging for some individuals, leading to a disconnect between intellectuals and others. Not everyone is equipped or interested in high-level discussions, and that's where universities play a role.
