A comment on Big Tech is getting cozy with computer science departments. Parent comment
To a large extent it’s a political institution, with outdated historical baubles forced upon it (administrative nightmare).
We’re at a hinge point in social evolution where perhaps a university is generally unnecessary.
Accurate information discovery, storage, and retrieval is what a university was built for conceptually.
It’s a matter of human history it is mired in old political speech and social construct. Not necessity to execute its purpose.
You have skills to teach people. Teach them. Dispose of the pretense of teaching “in politically normalized settings”.
Go teach. Really historically you’re teaching people who paid the political price. How free.
