@baldur BRB, going to read 30 pages of Hegel in one sitting just because this guy said I couldn't.

Seriously though. When I was in college about 15 years ago, all the old head professors said they used to assign way more reading. This guy is talking about 30 pages in between class sessions? My old professors used to assign 2000 pages a week in the 60's/70's. They claimed their students actually read that much.

I think this is because university students were less likely to have jobs back then

@sidereal I mean, if something has been declining for 50 years instead of just ten then that’s worse news, right?

A decade means it’s a trend that can be turned around. But if this is an issue that’s been festering throughout society for 50-60 years, then there’s next to nothing you can do to meaningfully change what’s happening.
