3h agoIn pre-Atlantis days, the primitives who took the food of the other primitives and ate it (and ate the other primitives) survived. Now, most people who survive do so because we sell things to each other. The triumph of sales shows that the Church of the SubGenius is the pan religion of the future, and always will be.
Most of us don't even sell food to each other. We sell "goods and services." We sell Pamphlets, and numbers, and even "money" to each other.

!["For most of my career, I assigned around 30 pages of reading per class meeting as a baseline expectation—sometimes scaling up for purely expository readings or pulling back for more difficult texts. (No human being can read 30 pages of Hegel in one sitting, for example.) Now students are intimidated by anything over 10 pages and seem to walk away from readings of as little as 20 pages with no real understanding. [...] It is probably no coincidence that the iPhone itself, originally released in 2007, is approaching college age, meaning that professors are increasingly dealing with students who would have become addicted to the dopamine hit of the omnipresent screen long before they were introduced to the more subtle pleasures of the page."](https://cdn.masto.host/dobbstown/media_attachments/files/111/914/533/620/975/302/original/eb1bad5cd67b99a7.png)
