I always just attributed it to the fact that people who really understand why it&#39;s such an issue have few incentives to explain it to those who don&#39;t, so it might seem niche and not particularly consequential to those outside of higher ed. Fwiw, I&#39;ve repeatedly tried and failed to successfully pitch a general-audience article about how the &#34;instructional design&#34; paradigm relates to this. 2026-01-09T17:09:57Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqspup4pkpu9zunhmcmy8fv9ha2xw8yshy7w08m0e66n7fsz2uvn62gzyrazdnjd2vexeyyzsve9jcnmzg4f9wwhwvlnekkklxnguwwf4frqgke9mpw &#34;How to do philosophy: a bit of advice.&#34; Distilling years as a student and professor into one post:<br/><br/><a href="https://elftheory.substack.com/p/how-to-do-philosophy">https://elftheory.substack.com/p/how-to-do-philosophy</a><br/><br/>#philosophy #academia #study #writing 2025-12-22T12:49:51Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsy6l9ut2ehsejpal2gj8kts7cz7xk3wgwn65elkuyz6raznct5pcqzyrazdnjd2vexeyyzsve9jcnmzg4f9wwhwvlnekkklxnguwwf4frqgrps625 Here&#39;s information about the new course on Mark Fisher / acid communism.
