    I once believed university was a shared intellectual pursuit. That faith has been obliterated

    Dude, I lost that faith during my first month, decades ago.

    Even worse, Robert Pirsig documents the loss in “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance”, written (partly) about his experience as a professor in the 1960’s.
